Biology Nerd here, looks like I'll be stuck with this nickname. <> Anyways, Lord Loss, I agree on the Dragon Element, for what has been shown till now ... About Khezu and Gigginox, they are distant relatives, as much as wyverns and pseudo-wyverns are, but I suspect they might be the closest relatives between the two groups, still, yes, convergent evolution is probably responsable for the blindness and low amount of pigment on their skin, but still they share two things that seems to stand out, their leech like structure and their suctioncup like cloaca placed at the ending of their "tail". These two are very peculiar adaptations that suggest that they are distant, yes, but the closest relatives between wyverns and pseudo-wyverns. <> Dark Jinouga, good point, but the Village Elder of Pokke stated that the Tigrex sometimes follows the Popo herds up to the mountains, it does not belong in there. Popo are slow, easy to catch and easy to track so ... the Tigrex is more suited for the desert and grass plains, but his high metabolism allows it to survive in the cold enviroment as long as he can keep track of a supply of food, also he is big enough to kill both it's prey and most predators from the cold mountains/tundra. I suspect there might be two kinds Tigrex' behavior, one is territorial and lives mostly on the warmer plains, the other is nomad, maybe driven away from their territory by a stronger predator, and hunt what they can find.
