Titanis

==Summary==
Titanis is a genus of phorusrhacid, the group of birds informally dubbed "Terror Birds." It is unique among the phorusrhacids in that it took part in the Great American Interchange; it was among some South American animals that spread to North America, while some North American animals spread to South America. It inhabited North America during the early Pliocene to early Pleistocene, and would have lived alongside canids, hyaenids, and felids, along with ursids; it lived in a xeric thorn-scrubland and grassland environment in places such as Florida. 
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , higher via piercing damage
Name: Titanis walleri
Origin: The Real World
Gender: Varies; can be male or female
Age: Varies
Classification: Animal, vertebrate, bird, Cariamiforme, Phorusrhacid, Phorusrhacine; "Terror Bird"
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Bodily Weaponry (Conventional; Claws, beak)
Attack Potency: Wall level (Had a mass of 300 kg, making it heavier than modern flightless birds. Contended successfully with predatory placental mammals in North America during its time, including canids, felids such as Smilodon, and ursids), and ursid varieties; it is thought to have taken up a role of an apex predator alongside these other large carnivores. Like other terror birds, it was capable of breaking through bone), higher via piercing damage (Phorusrhacids would likely use their large beaks to land repeated strikes on its prey to wound itDegrange, Federico J.; Tambussi, Claudia P.; Moreno, Karen; Witmer, Lawrence M.; Wroe, Stephen (2010).

Bibcode:2010PLoSO...511856D. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0011856. PMC 2923598. PMID 20805872.)
Speed: Superhuman (Had a running speed of 64 kph; Terror Birds would have similar speeds to Greyhounds)
Lifting Strength: At least Peak Human (Could support a body mass of 300 kgBlanco, Rudemar Ernesto; Jones, Washington W (2005).

Striking Strength: Wall level (The more rigid skulls in larger phorusrhacids like Titanis would help for hunting larger preyDegrange, Federico J. (10 December 2020).
