Cymbospondylus

==Summary==
Cymbospondylus is a genus of large, even gigantic ichthyosaurs, and was a more primitive representative of that group of marine reptiles, with a slenderer build than the dolphin-like ichthyosaurs that would emerge later. It lived around 251–242 million years ago, during the early to middle Triassic in oceans around present-day North America and Europe. The largest of this genus were not only one of the largest ichthyosaurs, but also among the largest animals of its time.

Attack Potency: Wall Level (Even the smaller species would rival modern large marine animals in size; the largest species was 17.65 meters long and 44.7 metric tons, and was comparable to other giant marine animals. Their size meant they were likely apex predators during their time), higher via piercing damage
Speed: Athletic Human to Peak Human (Its body structure had a lot in common with mosasaurs and archaeocete whales)
Lifting Strength: Varies from Peak Human to Class 50 (C. duelferi could reach a mass of around 520 kg, while C. youngorum could reach a mass of 44.7 metric tons)
Striking Strength: Wall level (Many likely fed on fish and cephalopods, and larger ones fed on marine vertebrates, likely including smaller Cymbospondylus)
Durability: Wall level
Stamina: Unknown 
Range: Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: Teeth 
Intelligence: Animalistic
Weaknesses: Needs to surface for air. If beached, it would die.
