Proterosuchus

==Summary==
Proterosuchus is a genus of proterosuchid Archosauriform, a group distantly related to true archosaurs such as dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and crocodilians. This moderately sized reptile lived 252-250 million years ago amid the hostile conditions of the early Triassic,Botha-Brink, Jennifer; Smith, Roger M. H. (2011).

S2CID 130744235. following the Permian-Triassic Extinction, in the semi-arid environment that is present day South Africa.Smith, Roger; Rubidge, Bruce; van der Walt, Merrill (2012).

It is known that it was a carnivore, but it is debated as to what lifestyle it led; it may have been either fully terrestrial or semi-aquatic, ambushing prey similar to modern crocodiles.

Attack Potency: Street level (At lengths of 3.5-4 meters, it was similar in size to modern crocodiles. Likely hunted Lystrosaurus, as it was the most prevalent herbivore at the time), higher via piercing damage
Speed: Unknown, at least Below Average Human on land (Had a sprawling posture similar to modern lizards. It is unknown as to whether or not it was semi-aquatic)
Lifting Strength: At least Above Average Human, likely higher (Could bring down Lystrosaurus, which reached a mass of around 100 kg)
Striking Strength: Street level
Durability: Street level
Stamina: Unknown
Range: Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: Teeth, claws
Intelligence: Animalistic (Had a brain morphology similar to crocodiles or other semi-aquatic predators)
Weaknesses: None notable
