==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Hacksauri are powerful members of the dragon family, introduced in ''VI'' as one of the strongest end-game enemy types. Though later titles would have the species trade positions with the Tyrantosaurus monsters, the Hacksaurus is still considered by most players to be a dangerous foe when first encountered. As demonstrated in the [[Arkbolt]] cave, the species exhibits r-type reproductive strategy, with the mother only watching over her offspring until their eggs hatch. Also of note, said eggs will hatch into [[Diethon (DQVI)|Diethon]]s when examined by the player. Though this is likely due to game difficulty balancing more than anything, it could suggest a metamorphic relationship between the two types of monsters in a similar to the fan-perceived relationship between [[Small fry|Small Fries]] and [[Great dragon]]s.
Hacksauri are powerful members of the [[Dragon family]], introduced in {{VI}} as one of the strongest end-game enemy types. Though later titles would have the species trade positions with the [[Tyrantosaurus]] monsters, the Hacksaurus is still considered by most players to be a dangerous foe when first encountered. As demonstrated in the [[Arkbolt]] [[Wayfarer's Pass|cave]], the species exhibits r-type reproductive strategy, with the mother only watching over her offspring until their eggs hatch. Also of note, said eggs will hatch into [[Diethon (DQVI)|Diethon]]s when examined by the player. Though this is likely due to game difficulty balancing more than anything, it could suggest a metamorphic relationship between the two types of {{MFamilies}}s in a similar to the fan-perceived relationship between [[Small fry|Small Fries]] and [[Great dragon]]s.


Interestingly, the species has made a name for itself by being one of the most easily [[Monster recruitment|recruitable]] members of the [[Dragon family]]. This precedent was set by [[Lizzie]], the very first Hacksaurus introduced in the series and the most popular monstrous companion in the series, outside of the slime family. This theme was reinforced in ''VIII'' by Hackzilla, one of the first infamous monsters (on-screen encounter) new players will stumble upon in the {{PS2}} Version, and by the fact that the species is present in every title that has monster taming.
Interestingly, the species has made a name for itself by being one of the most easily [[Monster recruitment|recruitable]] members of the [[Dragon family]]. This precedent was set by [[Lizzie]], the very first Hacksaurus introduced in the series and the most popular monstrous companion in the series, outside of the [[Slime family]]. This theme was reinforced in {{VIII}} by [[Hackzilla]], one of the first [[infamous monster]]s (on-screen encounter) new players will stumble upon in the {{PS2}} version, and by the fact that the species is present in every title that has monster taming.


Taking this into consideration, it can be assumed that Hacksauri have a high regard for physical strength, and will respect anyone who bests them in battle. This notion was picked up by Koei-Tecmo when developing the first ''Heroes'' spin-off, and wrote it into the monster's description.

While a normal hacksaurus won't be encountered until the player reaches the Royal Hunting Grounds, it is possible to run into a special roaming one near [[Farebury]] at the very start of the game. It is ill-advised to fight this hacksaurus until much later on since she can easily wipe out a low-level party using its fire breath and falcon slash techniques, though having a monster team will enable one to recruit the powerful monster after defeating it.
