	Hacksauri are powerful ~~members of the dragon family~~, introduced in ''VI'' as one of the strongest end-game enemy types. Its appearance is a cross between a [[Wikipedia:Tyrannosauridae\|tyrannosaurid]] dinosaur and a traditional European dragon wielding a broad axe. 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.

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.

	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.
