Brontoscorpio

Brontoscorpio (meaning "Thunder Scorpion") is a prehistoric sea scorpion from the late Silurian period. It was a large animal that fed on fish.

Description
Brontoscorpio was a giant sea scorpion. At 3 feet long, it was one of the top predators in the Silurian seas.

Weapons
It had a large stinger about the size of a lightbulb and the stinger itself can deliver a powerful venom that paralyzed prey. Brontoscorpio also had 2 pairs of pincers with the larger pincers used for grasping prey and the smaller pincers used for tearing apart prey. Brontoscorpio hunted small marine animals like Cephalaspis and trilobites. Brontoscorpio adapted strong jaws for crushing and tearing apart the tough armored body of its prey.

Adaptability
Brontoscorpio was the ultimate scorpion and one of the apex predators of the Silurian Period: its name meant 'Thunder Scorpion'. Not only it could breath underwater it could come on land and absorb air it with its primitive lungs. They came on land to escape predators and molt its shell. At 3 feet long, it would take hours for a Brontoscorpio to molt its shell.

Threats
Brontoscorpio, despite its lethality, had predators like Pterygotus; an ambush predator as in Walking with Monsters where it had hunted smaller sea animals like Cephalaspis and Brontoscorpio itself.

Water Dwellers
A Brontoscorpio was seen chasing several Cephalaspis before striking the camera with its stinger. Another was later seen chasing a Cephalaspis before being killed itself by a mother Pterygotus which fed it to her young. A group of Brontoscorpio followed a shoal of Cephalaspis to their spawning grounds. There they had a feeding frenzy. One however wasn't able to feed as it needed to shed its skin. Next morning, the Brontoscorpio crawled away.
