In-Game Information

"Personality variants Tigrex are fairly violent and aggressive. the Tigrex's developed using a limb, claws and jaws to deal powerful blow to all its adversarys, which must be noted that the Tigrex is the greatest danger to all hunters"

Taxonomy

The Black Tigrex is a Pseudowyvern. It has few differences with the normal variation, other than coloration and habitat. Some of it's differences include it's habitat of preference, living in volcanoes and sandy plains, which has a significant difference from the original Tigrex who lives in the Snowy Mountains. This subspecies of Tigrex boasts more powerful and more swift attacks and also the ability to cause Fireblight, and also has an improved version of a normal Tigrex's "wail".

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. It has also adapted his pattern of attacks using the surroundings of the volcano, like his thrust, which will send waves of magma which causes fireblight, or either use strata from the volcanic grounds as hurling stones. Seeing as how it charges straight into the lava, it is also considered in theory that it's scales can adapt to be immune to lava.

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, although it would not bother it would not challenge it, due to the no competition between them. 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. It is quite territorial, attacking anything that it has set in sight its boundary, especially hunters, and occasionally true wyverns, like Rathalos, or Gravios, seldomly Lavasioth, or Capreceons like Ceanataur. It is fact that is fares highly well in the food chain, only prey to very few like Alateron due to it's strength and agility.

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. Unlike normal Tigrex Black Tigrex is not as commonly found in area's. It can most commonly be found in the volcano.

Behavior

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