Balcel-dracaroc "Brutish ocean walker who eats dragons"
Name: Contritasaurus Maris (Crushing Lizard of the Sea)
Family: Dryptosaur Tyrannosaurid
Length: Average size for an adult is 85 feet long and 30 feet high at the hips. Females growth slows once they reach 120 feet so they can still be able to move around on land to lay eggs, staying smaller than the males. The males continue to grow all their lives since they have no need to return to the land, with elder bull specimens reaching sizes of 180 feet long and 57 feet high at the hips.
Weight: Females stay at a weight of 35-45 tons while males reaching a size of 60-75 tons.
Speed: Females are not fast on land, only able to move of speeds up to 10 mph. But when it "runs" on the floor of water bodies, it can reach a speed of up to 25 mph in a endurance chase, while can sprint up to 30-35 mph. Young animals, being more adapted on land, can run up to 30 mph.
Lifespan: If not killed outright somehow, it can live for 160-200+ years before passing.
Diet/Hunting/fighting: Generally a carnivore, it focuses on animals from 2 times smaller to hunting the aquatic dinosaurs it shares its habitat with, like the aquatic hadrosaurs, ankylosaurs, and most famously: the diplodocids. The young, however, will hunt on land from hatching all the way to 15 years of age since they have the build of a speedy predator until they begin morphologically changing into a different body plan that'll take another 5 years to complete and begin hunting in the water. While it uses its strength, bone crushing bite and speed to get the upper hand on prey, it does have a secret weapon. Like its close relative, the Dzoavits, it has an extremely adapted voice box that allows it to use its roar as a weapon for last second hunt efforts or as a means of defense. This ability is further amplified by the water itself, so being near or in water when it roars can be lethal.
Social/Parenting: 99% of the time, the animals live alone, only coming together to mate. The females will lay and care for eggs that number from 3-6, which take 3 months to develop and another 2 months of rearing them young until the mother abandons them. The young will hunt together on land and water before departing on their own after 15 years together.
Conflicts: Usually the top predator in its watery environment, there is not much competition to be had. The only few other predators that would threaten its dominion would be either the Monstrom or the Flumendraco, which both the Dryptosaur and the Spinosaur actively avoid each other. Only the Monstromosaurus would actively hunt this beast.
Distribution and Habitat: It prefers warm, shallow seagrass habitats, only rarely exploring up to see if it would have better luck. Its range goes from the Med. Sea into the Sea of the Horn (Horn of Africa split from Africa, creating a sea). The range goes East along the Asian Coast and stops around North Australia.
