Taxonomy

The Black Tigrex is a Pseudowyvern. It has few differences with the normal variation, other than coloration and habitat.

Habitat Range

This dark-colored wyvern is found exclusively in volcanic areas, which would imply that the Black Tigrex is better suited to much hotter environments than the normal Tigrex.

Ecological Niche

Black Tigrex's role as top predator is no different than that of Tigrex. Its only known competitors include Agnaktor and Rathalos. A fully-grown Uragaan may also present a threat to a Black Tigrex. Unlike the Tigrex, Black Tigrex doesn't seem to travel to temperate areas to prey on Popo, so it definitely needs to make the most of all prey at the volcano. It may hunt Rhenoplos, Rangurotora, Zuwaroposu, Uroktor, immature Uragaan, and the Furogi and Dosufurogi that live in the lower levels of the Volcano.

Biological Adaptations

Just as Tigrex has coloration suited to both tropical sandy deserts and freezing snowy landscape, the Black Tigrex has just the right coloration to blend in with the Volcano's cliffs and crevices. The possible reason for its black coloration may be the huge amount of ash scattered in the Volcano.

Much like normal Tigrex, these Wyverns are powerful in every sense of the word.

Behavior

Black Tigrex appear much more aggressive and more maniacal in attacking in comparison to Tigrex. It will fiercely attack hunters on sight.
