In-Game Information

Taxonomy

The Black Tigrex has few differences with it's cousin Tigrex other than coloration (obviously) and lifestyle in Volcanoes rather than Deserts.

Habitat Range

This dark colored T. rex like wyvern is found exclusively in volcanic areas.

Ecological Niche

Black Tigrex's role as top predator is no different than that of Tigrex. It's only known competitors include Agnaktor and Rathalos. Unlike the Tigrex, Black Tigrex doesn't seem to travel to temperate areas to prey on Popo every now and then so it definately needs to make the most of all prey at the volcano. It will hunt Rhenoplos, the Volcano Armadillo, Swamp Herbivore, Uroktor, and immature Uragaan.

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 of its black coloration may be due to the huge amount of ash scattered in the Volcano.

Behavior

Black Tigrex appears much more aggressive and more manical in attacking compared to Tigrex.
