Hyneria

==Summary==
Hyneria is a genus of lobe finned fish, named after the village of Hyner in Pennsylvania where it was first discovered.Thomson, K. S. (1968). "A new Devonian fish (Crossopterygii: Rhipidistia) considered in relation to the origin of the Amphibia". Postilla. 124. It lived in the Famennian part of the Devonion period, which was around 371.1 to 359.3 million years ago, and was an apex predator in freshwater environments it inhabited.

S2CID 211122587. and H. lindae having a possible max length of 3.5 meters, it would be comparable to a lot of modern large fish, or a similar length to a California Sea Lion), higher via piercing damage (Had fangs that could reach 5 cm (2 in) long)
Speed: At least Average Human (Was not a very fast swimmer, and was more of a "lie in wait" predator, but should have sufficient speed to ambush prey)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Athlete level to Street level (Likely hunted other fish and tetrapods in its environment)
Durability: Athlete level to Street level
Stamina: Unknown
Range: Standard Melee Range 
Standard Equipment: Teeth
Intelligence: Animalistic
Weaknesses: Being adapted to waters with low visibility, it had rather small eyes, meaning it had poor vision
