Dunkleosteus

Description

Dunkleosteus is a large, armored placoderm fish from the Late Devonian period about 380-360 million years ago. A voracious eater, it will attack anything, including others of its kind. While it's teeth (actually, bony plates) are its primary weapon, the dunkleosteus is not above using its armored head as a battering ram (treat as a vehicle collision for damage purposes).
