==Summary==
Arapaimas are freshwater fish residing in the Amazon River and one of the largest species of freshwater fish. Arapaima normally reach lengths of up to 2 meters, although in rare cases they can exceed 2.5 meters and over 100 kg.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: normally, for the largest arapaima, higher via piercing damage
Name: Arapaima
Origin: The Real World
Gender: Varies; can be male or female
Age: Varies; arapaima can live up to 20 years
Classification: Freshwater fish
Powers and Abilities: Peak Human Physical Characteristics (for the largest arapaima), Sharp Teeth, Large Size (Type 0; The largest arapaima can be 3-4.5 m long) & Limited Underwater Breathing (Type 2; arapaima have adapted to breathing air as a way to deal with low oxygen levels in the waters of the Amazon River)
Attack Potency: Athlete level normally (An 70-80 lb one was able to harm River Monsters host Jeremy Wade with a headbutt to the chest.Jeremy Wade Reveals He Was Once Headbutted by a Fish | Good Morning Britain - YouTube (Ar) Frequently rams predators & prey, including caimans.Dinosaur Fish Of The Amazon: The Arapaima - Rainforest Cruises (Ar), They're normally 90.7 kg.Arapaima | Smithsonian's National Zoo (Ar) This gives them more strength than an 84 kg/183 lb man in normal conditions under it's speed. Can eat monkeys & birds), Street level for the largest arapaima (The largest arapaima can weigh 200-220 kg & be 3-4.5 m in lengthArapaima Fish Facts - AZ Animals (Ar)), higher via piercing damage
Speed: Likely Average Human in short bursts (Could grab & suck up insects of it's habitat before they could react, including dragonflies. Dragonflies can travel 100 times their body length of 1.3-6.8 cm

*Odonata: Dragonflies and Damselflies (Ar))
Lifting Strength: Above Average Human to Athletic Human (Can jump half the height of a man out of water as a defense mechanism when cornered.Best Of Arapaima! | COMPILATION | River Monsters - YouTube (Ar) Can grab prey like small birds & mammals with it's mouth from the surface of the water. A single arapaima can struggle out the grip against two people)
Striking Strength: Athlete level to Street level
Durability: At most Athlete level normally, at most Street level for the largest arapaima (Is implied to withstand their rammings. This implies that their muscles withstand the newtons & likely head-to-head collisions against other arapaima of similar magnitude.Due to animals like bighorn sheep getting concussions from their charge, the durability of animals that regularly collide with each other should be lower than their attack potencyMuscle is an effective shock absorber by contracting upon impact against certain newtons in pairs, allowing them to protect the soft organs & bones. The stronger & more adapted muscle is to impacts, the more newtons & in turn, joules it can withstand. This applies to internal & external forces of an animal by the rules of evolution. This is shown in the neck muscles of bighorn sheep, muscles of a boxer & muscles of a gorilla. Their scales can withstand 1.7 million psi & bites of several piranhas, which impressed the US air force into trying to replicate it.What the U.S. Air Force Can Learn From This Piranha-Proof Fish (Ar) Has more surface area than a regular human)
Stamina: Athletic, has been shown to be a strong, swift, & muscular fish that regularly survives their rammings, eats birds & consumes monkeys
Range: Standard Melee Range 
Standard Equipment: None besides it's teeth
Intelligence: Animalistic
Weaknesses: Its capability of air-breathing is limited to 24 hours due to it being a fish. Vulnerable to superior predators like caimans & humans. Is only adapted to it's habitat. Requires close contact to attack others.
