Rex

The nasty beast himself.

Hiding from Rex is of little use.

You may find your way to the legendary Tempest Peak Manor, the exquisite and imposing residence of the Storm Giant, an enigmatic figure who once ruled and raged around the peaks of Astara. Legend has it the Giant was sucked through the rift to the Shadowrealm. His poor pet was left behind and hasn't been fed in 700 years... so don't tempt him. You might be able to outrun him, but if you think you can defeat him, here's a hint: you can't. — Official manual

Rex is a very large reptilian dog-like creature found only in Tempest Peak Manor. His master, known as the Storm Giant, had been sucked away to the Shadowrealm 700 years ago, and he hasn't been fed since. Don't make yourself his next meal.

He is very fast and constantly follows Vexx throughout the manor. Fortunately, as long as Vexx remains above the floor, Rex has no way of getting to him. If he does fall, he must get to an air vent as soon as possible, which will carry him up to where Rex can't reach. Fighting him is pointless, as he's invulnerable. Even in Fury Mode, it's impossible to kill him. However, he can be pushed back if the player uses an uppercut slash on his legs, but as he has no HP, he cannot be defeated. As stated in the manual, it's possible to outrun him if Vexx repeatedly uses his talons to propel himself forward.

Appearance

Rex is a greenish reptilian about the same size as the Leviathan from The Below, with a sandy yellow underbelly. He has doglike ears, spines on his back, big yellow eyes, and a large drooling lipless mouth with big yellow teeth. He has two large legs with blue spots which end with huge feet, each with two toes tipped with very sharp claws. He's apparently armless and wears a collar with spikes and a bell on it.

Trivia

• Although he can't be defeated, Vexx can still earn points from hitting him. However, this is risky and Vexx will most likely get eaten anyway.
  • If the player moves Vexx behind the left side of the grandfather clock, Vexx can repeatedly hit Rex with a sliding uppercut without getting hurt. Rex will attempt to chase Vexx, but because of his size, he can't get through the side to eat Vexx and therefore run endlessly until Vexx moves away.
