Deinotherium

==Summary==
Deinotherium were a group of large proboscideans similar to elephants, but not as closely related. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek words δεινός, deinos meaning "terrible" and θηρίον, therion meaning "beast." This group lived during the mid Miocene to early Pleistocene throughout East Africa, southern Europe, and and all the way to the Indian subcontinent.
The type species, Deinotherium giganteum, is known to reach 3.63–4.0 m in height at the shoulder and a mass of 8.8–12 metric tons. Other species include D. bozasi, D. indicum, and possible species D. levius and D. proavum. These creatures had a longer and more raised neck suitable for browsing like a giraffe, along with longer and more slender limbs than other proboscideans. The most distinctive feature of Deinotherium were its downward curved tusks, which grow down from the mandible and are theorized to aid in feeding.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , higher via piercing damage
Name: Deinotherium, Hoe Tusker
Origin: The Real World
Gender: Varies, can be male or female
Age: Varies with specimen
Classification: Mammalia, Herbivore animal, Proboscidae, large mammal
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Large Size (Type 0; D. proavum can reach 3.59 meters in height, while a D. "thraceiensis" reached 4.01 meters tall), Enhanced Senses, Bodily Weaponry (Tusks)
Attack Potency: Wall level (had greater physical mass than modern elephants and were adapted for running, and with a speed of 8.33 m/s, their charging KE should be that much), higher via piercing damage
Speed: Athletic Human, likely Peak Human (Are more adapted to Cursorial locomotion than modern elephants. Capable of running at 30 km/hr, or about 8.33 m/shttps://dinoanimals.com/animals/deinotherium-terrible-beast/)
Lifting Strength: Class 10 to Class 25 (Larger than modern elephants. Deinotherium bozasi had a mass of 9 metric tons; Two adult male Deinotherium giganteum had a mass around 8.8–12 metric tons; one adult male of Deinotherium proavum was 10.3 metric tons, and the average for this species is 10.5 metric tons; a 45-year-old male of Deinotherium "thraceiensis" was 13.2 metric tons)
Striking Strength: Wall level
Durability: Wall level 
Stamina: Superhuman (Were adapted with more agility than many proboscideans, allowing them to travel across grasslands in search of trees to browse from)
Range: Extended Melee Range via sheer size
Standard Equipment: Trunk, tusks
Intelligence: At least Animalistic (Had a more flattened and short cranium, unlike more developed proboscideans, which would indicate that they were likely less intelligent than modern elephants, woolley mammoths, or Palaeoloxodon Namadicushttps://www.scientificlib.com/en/Biology/Animalia/Chordata/Mammalia/Deinotherium.html)
Weaknesses: None notable
