Remarks: The Red Tiger Severum is said to be the true Heros severus. They typically have a broken 7th bar, but this can vary between individuals. They develop a bright red chest and blue-green faces, with maroon spots covering their face and upper back. They are one of the largest Severums and, according to reports, more aggressive than the tank-bred varieties.
