Pterygotus (SciiFii)

The giant sea scorpion (Pterygotus locusta) is a species of giant predatory eurypterid, a group of aquatic arthropods, that originally lived in the Paleozoic era ranging in age from Late Silurian to Early Devonian, as several different extinct species, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the world's oceans to help boost biodiversity. The giant sea scorpion is among the largest eurypterids, usually having the body length of around 5.7 feet (1.75 metres) long on average. Like its close relative Jaekelopterus, the giant sea scorpion is a large and active predator noted for its robust and enlarged cheliceral claws that allows it to puncture and grasp prey and a visual acuity (clarity of vision) comparable to that of most predatory arthropods. The main prey items of the giant sea scorpion includes fish, crustaceans, Brontoscorpios, sea scorpions, and squid. The giant sea scorpion is a solitary animal that lives in most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the giant sea scorpion is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the giant sea scorpion's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities. Humans tolerate the giant sea scorpion's presence due to the giant sea scorpion being docile, nonaggressive, and completely tame towards fully-terrestrial animals such as humans, dogs, and among others.
