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.

Taking this into consideration, it can be assumed that hacksauruses 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.
