Predator Omnibus

Predator Omnibus (as it is colloquially known, as the exact taxonomy is up to debate) is a taxon of peioraid plesiosauroid that lived in Rathnir's waters during the Dracian period. It is considered to be one of the largest animals to ever live in the sea, let alone of the largest animals to ever live. With a length of 25 meters and a weight of 3.5 tonnes, it is one of the largest predators known to science. 
The exact taxonomy of Predator Omnibus is controversial; a number of Rathnir's paleontologists argue that it is the adult form of, and a junior synonym of, the earlier-described peioraid Aequor infectorem. Others argue that the creature is indeed a separate genus, citing a different temporal distribution. As such, this taxonomic debate has prevented Predator Omnibus from actually receiving a binomial name of its own so far. 
No complete specimen has been yet found; however the known remains are roughly half a spinal column from southern Bardonia, a second spine with associated ribs and gastralia from Huitca, and a single tooth also from the same Huitca locality. This has provided vital evidence into what Predator Omnibus actually is, due to it having a different tooth structure to the one found in the skull of Aequor.
