Featuring a strong body, but low boosting, it was developed by the Keerlon Corporation, the same that created him. Despite the company not wanting to associate with him anymore, they still allowed Bio Rex to keep the ship. Its control scheme was designed to be pretty tight (which might explain its excellent grip), taking advantage of Bio Rex's reflexes.

After thinking of this, he can't fit towards Hated By All, but the description can fit in as a Gameplay and Story Integration due to his extremeism against "animals" that make him the target of the "rival" system for all animal-like racers (and Baba).


%%* HatedByAll: ''X'' had a subtle rival system where characters related to yours, be they friends or enemies, would be placed next to yours at the start of a Grand Prix and would subsequently do better and be more likely to become the "main rival". Beastman is by far the most "hated" character, being an "enemy" of every non-human racer and [[WildChild Baba]].
