+The '''hacksaurus''' (originally '''BattleRex''' / '''Battle Rex''') is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'', they are depicted as a mix between a theropod dinosaur and a traditional European dragon wielding a broad axe.
 ==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]] 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 [[Biguana]] 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-precieved relationship between [[Small fry|Small Fries]] and [[Great Dragon]]s.
-As dragons, hacksauruses are naturally powerful and especially dangerous due to their axe-wielding. They can also breathe fire.
+Interestingly, the species has made a name for itself by being one of the most easily recuritable 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.
+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.
