Brute Tigrex are Flying Wyverns and Subspecies of Tigrex introduced in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
Physiology
Brute Tigrex features a darker, more muted color palette of various shades of grey, brown, and beige. It apparently possesses a more robust set of lungs than the common species, as evidenced by its increased roaring capacity. It has a more powerful set of forelimbs, and has adapted to live in harsher environments than any other variety of Tigrex.
Abilities
Brute Tigrex is capable of using its powerful forelimbs to trample opponents, and can produce incredibly concussive roars which can send nearby objects flying.
Behavior
This subspecies will exhibit similar behavior to its common counterpart, but it is more brutal and aggressive when approaching and engaging prey and attackers alike.
Habitat
Brute Tigrex is known to inhabit harsh environments such as Volcanoes and Deserts.
