• The Tyrant can be charged with any of the 5 elements, this will affect its guns on the side of its face, the cannon on its head, and what blobs it shoots into the sky.

• The Tyrant of Instinct has the following attacks:
  • Face Guns - used at range, imbued with whatever element it has.
  • Flame breath / Elemental spew - sprays a spread of fire that stays on the ground. Uses the cannon on the top of its head to shoot balls of its element around the fire.
  • Elemental blobs - launches 3 massive blobs of the given element into the air toward the Vault Hunter, leaving massive puddles.
  • Charge - turns its head sideways and charges at the Vault Hunter.
  • Bite - close-range attack.
