With its highly aggressive nature belying its intelligence, Tigrex are Pseudowyverns that naturally inhabit the deserts and migrate to the snowy mountains to feast on Popo. They are visibly recognizable by the orange-yellow skin with blue stripes. Their wings have evolved into forelegs, which makes them very fast, but they only fly when moving to another zone. When coming from a high area, they drop straight down, rather than slowly hovering down like most wyverns. Tigrex is also one of the most powerful creatures in a MHFO unique area, the Desert Canyons.
[edit] Facts
- The Tigrex is known for having hyped-up versions of normal wyvern attacks: it lunges forward to perform a double bite, frequently charges at the player (it can turn 180 degrees to make another pass at the player), executes its tail whip in a 360-degree motion, and can send the player rolling with its roar.
- "Ledging" is possible with the Tigrex: when it charges, stand in front of a wall and move away with precise timing and it will bite into the wall, becoming stuck and effectively allowing you to land a few spare hits, as well as dropping Wyvern Tears or Wyvern Sobs(HR6 Tigrexs').
- One of the known ways to lessen the damage impact of Tigrex is to constantly keep it blinded with Flash Bombs when it rages.
- If you are fighting the Tigrex for the first time, when fighting in area 8, once it rages, hide near the Kushala skin, and wait for it to calm down.
- Tigrex is very vulnerable when he is screaming. If you roll at the right time, the shock wont hurt you and you'll have a clear shot at him.
- When fighting it, fast weapons are advised to give you time to dodge.
- The Tigrex is the 5 star urgent quest from the village chief - the Eager Cleaver is a weapon favored by beginners to take this wyvern down.
- If you are looking forward to Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, you will find the Tigrex and Narugakaruga are rather similar as they both move at the same speed in rage and standard mode. There is really not much difference, except that the Narugakaruga can deal more damage.
- It is possible to smash both front claws, the head twice (Two horns/spikes) and cut the tail off for more rewards.
