This monster is a large icthyosaur (q.v.). <revise link icthyosaur.htm>
Although it is not a dinosaur, it thrives in the same marine habitats as do mosasaurs, for example. Its
speed and ferocity allow it to compete for prey with any creature. When
in a feeding frenzy, a tennodontosaur will strike with its powerful tail,
inflicting damage on any creature behind it which is struck by this
lashing. It will attack fearlessly or fight other predatorsfor choice food.
