Allosaurus

==Summary==
Allosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Kimmeridgian to early Tithonian stage of the late Jurassic period, from 155 to 150 million years ago, in North America (Morrison Formation), Portugal (Lourinhã Formation), and possibly Tanzania (Tendaguru Formation). 
Allosaurus is the most well-known of the medium to large theropods of the Jurassic period, often represented as the Jurassic equivalent of Tyrannosaurus. It is also one of the most iconic dinosaurs of the period, alongside Stegosaurus and sauropods of the diplodocidae and brachiosauridae families. 
The genus Allosaurus has a complicated taxonomy, and includes an uncertain number of valid species, the best known of which is A. fragilis. A. fragilis had an average length of 8 m, with the largest definitive specimen estimated at 9.7 m long, while estimates from bone sizes were calculated to be 12 to 13 m long. Weight estimates range from approximately 1000 kg to approximately 4000 kg. Certain specimens have been attributed to Allosaurus, with lengths from 10.9 to 12.1 m, although they may in fact belong to the closely-related allosaurids Saurophaganax maximus and Epanterias amplexus. 
Unlike Tyrannosaurus, which is famous for its immensely powerful jaws, wide skull, and deeply rooted teeth designed for taking down preys of comparable sizes in contests of strength, Allosaurus had a weak bite force, but compensates with serrated teeth, the ability to open its jaws extremely wide, and a skull capable of withstanding nearly 55500 N of vertical force against the tooth row. These led scientists to believe Allosaurus hunted its preys by tearing their skin and flesh, killing them through blood loss. 
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , higher via piercing damage
Name: Allosaurus (genus). Type species A. fragilis, with an unknown number of other valid species
Origin: The Real World
Gender: Varies
Age: Varies
Classification: Dinosaur, Saurischian, Theropod, Carnosaurian, Allosauroid, Allosaurid, Allosaurine
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Large Size (Type 0; Different estimates range from 8.5 to 13 m in length), Enhanced Senses
Attack Potency: Wall level (Can generate 34 445 J of kinetic energy even from using its lowest weight and speed values. Larger specimens may indicate sizes and thus strength comparable to Tyrannosaurus or carcharodontosaurs, although they may belong to other genera. Fossil evidence suggests Allosaurus hunted Stegosaurus and juvenile to adult sauropods, as well as fight their own kind), higher via piercing damage (Despite having a relatively weak bite force, this is compensated by their serrated teeth, and scientists believe they hunted by tearing their skin and flesh)
Speed: Athletic Human, possibly Superhuman (The top speed of Allosaurus has been estimated at 30 to 55 km/h, or 8.3 to 15.3 m/s)
Lifting Strength: Class 1, possibly Class 5 
Striking Strength: Wall level
Durability: Wall level (A tail vertebra with evidence of a thagomizer attack from Stegosaurus shows signs of healing, indicating an Allosaurus survived the attack. Another specimen shows signs of surviving and healing from another dinosaur [likely a diplodocid]'s tail whip attack)
Stamina: Unknown
Range: Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Animalistic (Suggested by studies to be similar to that of crocodiles')
Weaknesses: None notable
