Name (of creature): Sharguana

Av. Height: 1.6 metres at the spine

Av. Length: 9 metres

Av. Weight: 5.2 tonnes

Base DNA: Marine Iguana, Hammerhead Shark, Great White Shark, Bull Shark, Sandtiger Shark, Viperfish, Mimic Octopus, Stonefish, Nile Crocodile, Komodo Dragon

Abilities: Can breathe underwater through gills, lungs can hold four hours worth of air, powerful bite, strong tail is both a defensive measure and an exceptional propeller, can charge quickly over small distances, powerful senses of smell, sight, pressure and electricity.

Weaknesses: Poor long-distance runners, rely heavily on ambush techniques in water

Defenses: Can change epidermis texture and colour and can form it into a thick armour. Fast swimmers.

Special Attributes: Cartilaginous skeleton allows for extreme flexibility, teeth can easily fall out and be replaced, poisonous spines along back and sides. mild intelligence, weak venom that discourages clotting. Can function in both fresh and saltwater environments. Jaws are hinged and can open very wide, regenerative healing.

Description: Similar to a marine iguana, but with a flatter, more angular head and teeth more commonly associated with a sandtiger shark. At rest, their skin normally resembles that of a marine iguana as well. The tail is longer, broader and more muscular and the long fingers are webbed.

LOGI Info: Sharguana live in large colonies of around 100 individuals known as 'squabbles', preferring rocky beaches or low cliffs overlooking water. These colonies tend to be raucous, noisy and the site of constant disputes over almost any matter - as such, scars and half-healed wounds are common sights.
Sharguana are obligate carnivores, and are not in the slightest bit fussy about what they eat, being capable of tearing flesh and crushing shell with ease. They normally vary between two hunting behaviours - on more open seabeds they will swim along the bottom, searching for animals hidden in the substrate, which they unearth by raking through the sand with their claws, or by fanning the sand away with their tail. In reefs, rocky outcrops and similar terrain, they will alter their epidermis to blend in with the surrounding area. When suitable prey passes nearby, they will launch themselves towards it with frightening speed and kill it in one bite. It is not uncommon for groups of Sharguana to attack prey larger than themselves - although this is not true pack behaviour as, once their target has been killed, the group will quickly devolve back into squabbling. Prey that escapes the initial attack will be tracked by the Sharguana as it follows the blood trail left due to the anticoagulant venom.
When threatened, sharguana normally try and escape predation by swimming quickly along the seabed, relying on their powerful tail to act both as a deterrent and a method to stir up huge clouds of sand to mask it. They try to proceed towards the shore, or towards a suitable hiding location; either somewhere they can blend in and arch the spines along their back in defence, or a hole in an outcrop or reef they can squeeze into. On land, the whole squabble comes together into a hissing, gnashing mat of teeth and poisonous spines when threatened by a predator. If this doesn't work, every single individual will immediately charged towards the water.
Sharguana normally have clutches of around sixteen in size, relying more on numbers of young than on quality of care.

Other: I couldn't think of a way to make this properly competitive in the current genetic climate, so nyaaah

I based it off of comparative weights for basking sharks. A Great White Shark reaching 6.4 metres will still reach 3.3 tonnes.

Yeah, but its a lizard, not a shark. A Great White/Basking Shark of similar lengths as a lizard will have a much shorter tail and a bulkier body.

Both the body and the tail are a lot bulkier and more muscular than your average lizard, including the marine iguana. Considering the majority of its physiology is based off of the shark, not the lizard, I'm going to go with the shark weight.

The description didn't say it had a shark body, though. Also, still, the tail of an average lizard is proportionally far longer then that of a shark. This has an even longer tail relative to the rest of its body. Scaling based of total length is going to give very bad weight estimates. I'll need to know the body length, as well as what kind of shark its body is like, in order to give a proper weight estimate.

It's genetically engineered to be that heavy so that it can put extra weight behind its attacks. It has the same impossible cartilage and muscles that allow Titans to not collapse into a puddle of blood and organs because blah blah blah complete misunderstanding of how genetics works that the site is built upon. Better?

Yeah, not gonna work. As someone who occasionally dives, just a bit of extra weight can weigh you down a lot. If it swallowed enough rocks to increase its weight by over a ton, it would sink like, well, a rock. The only way to counteract that would be with a gas to make it more buoyant, effectively making it lighter. But that would beat the entire point of it swallowing rocks, now wouldn't it.

Not really. Even with the added bulk and stuff, I can't see it being heavier then 3.5 tons.

Following the square-cube law and using the upper limits of a komodo dragon as a baseline , a weight of 4.5 tonnes would be normal. Add in 700kg to compensate for the extra muscle, the height and the fact that it is a primarily aquatic animal and as such is less limited by the weight it needs to lug about, and there.

Add in 700kg to compensate for the extra muscle, the height and the fact that it is a primarily aquatic animal and as such is less limited by the weight it needs to lug about, and there.

The upper limits of a Komodo Dragon is 3 meters and around 70 kg. This gives a weight of 1.327 tons. I have no idea how you got 4.5 tons. If you want to be generous with the Dragon's weight, you could get 2 tons, but only if you're being generous. Add 700 KG to that and you only have 2.7 tons.

@DG:
Dashing through the snow~
On a broken ski~
Over the hills I go~
Smashing into trees!
Now the snow is red~
And I'm almost dead~
Now I'm in the hospital~
With stitches in my head! :rolleyes:  :P
