The '''hacksaurus''' (originally '''BattleRex''' / '''Battle Rex''') is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'', it is a bipedal dragon wielding a large axe.

The '''Hacksaurus''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in {{DQ6}}, they are depicted as a mix between a tyrannosaurid dinosaur and a traditional European dragon wielding a broad axe.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Hacksauruses are dragons with a build similar to that of a predatory dinosaur, especially a tyrannosaurus rex as indicated by their original localization, battle rex. They are green in color with a yellow underbelly and carry large axes in their small arms.
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 monsters 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.


As dragons, hacksauruses are naturally powerful and especially dangerous due to their axe-wielding. They can also breathe fire.
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 Ground]]s, it is possible to run into a [[Hackzilla|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.

Hacksaurus appears as a B-rank monster of the Dragon family, first being recruitable in the second part of the limited "Dragon Fest" event. It will join the player in Chapter 3, Episode 2 of the event quests and it can participate in [[Bobonga]]'s Battle Road as a party member. The hacksaurus can be fully awakened by completing the Scalewood Entrance stage of the Dragon Island: Forest at any difficulty. Prior to that, they were a C-rank monster. It can also be recruited from Chapter 2, Episode 2: Carver during the limited ''Dragon Quest VI'' event at any difficulty and it can participate in [[Carver]]'s Battle Road as a party member. Hacksaurus can participate in [[Baran]] and [[Maldragora]] the Worldbreaker's Battle Road as a party member, as well.
