Hybodus

==Summary==
Hybodus is a genus of hybodont, a group of cartilaginous fish that emerged in the Middle Triassic and lasted until the Late CretaceousDica, E. P., & Codrea, V. (2006). On the Hybodus (Euselachii) from the Early Jurassic of Anina (Caraş Severin District, Romania). https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1247&context=geologia. Hybodus as a genus was prevalent throughout the early Jurassic. It is known for its distinctive fin spines, which likely served as protection from larger predators. They also displayed sexual dimorphism with the presence of clasper fins on the males, a trait maintained in modern sharks.Palmer, D., ed. (1999).

"A Pennsylvanian 'supershark' from Texas". Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. 37 (3): e1325369. Bibcode:2017JVPal..37E5369M. doi:10.1080/02724634.2017.1325369. ISSN 0272-4634. S2CID 134127771.), Bodily Weaponry (Teeth, spines), Non-Standard Breathing (Type 1), Enhanced Senses (Sharks can sense blood from a quarter of a mile away), limited Extrasensory Perception (Can sense bioelectrical fields generated by other aquatic organisms and vibrations within the water using its ampullae of Lorenzeni. This has a range of 25 meters.), Berserk Mode (Can be provoked into a "feeding frenzy" state)
Attack Potency: At least Street level, possibly higher (With the smallest species reaching 2 meters long, it should be superior to the modern Blacktip Reef Shark. Was something of a generalist feeder, hunting a variety of creatures,Klug, Christian; Schweigert, Günter; Hoffmann, René; Weis, Robert; De Baets, Kenneth (December 2021).

Speed: At least Athletic Human (Was adapted to hunting fast marine organismsMaisey, J. G. (April 2012). "What is an 'elasmobranch'? The impact of palaeontology in understanding elasmobranch phylogeny and evolution". Journal of Fish Biology. 80 (5): 918–951. Bibcode:2012JFBio..80..918M. doi:10.1111/j.1095-8649.2012.03245.x. ISSN 0022-1112. PMID 22497368. "...including forms considered to be active predators of fast-moving prey (e.g. Hybodus)...")
Lifting Strength: At least Below Average Human to Above Average Human, likely higher (The smaller species could be around 100-200 lbs, or about 45-91 kg. The larger species would have had greater mass. Had more developed skeletons than many other sharks, to the point of near-ossification)
Striking Strength: At least Street level
Durability: At least Street level (Likely would have been prey for large marine reptiles)
Stamina: Peak Human (Constantly swims without tiring)
Range: Below Standard Melee Range physically, Tens of Meters with ampullae of Lorenzini
Intelligence: Animalistic
Weaknesses: Cannot breathe outside of water. Must keep swimming in order to breathe. Like other sharks, attacks to the ampullae of Lorenzini will stun it.
