Creature: Maxijaw
The Maxijaw is a powerful, suprisingly manuverable predator of predator. With a jaw at a length of 7.3 meters, and a strength of 9.4 tons per square inch, the beast easily beats Tyrannosaurus's strength, having about 9 times the power.

Brief Description
The Maxijaw's three jaws are designed to smash, tear, and cut through flesh, bone, and even rock with relative ease. With it's thickly muscled neck, they use these weapons to send chunks of their prey flying. The predator's only real weak spot is the single, intimidating eye, and even that is covered with a tough membrane. The long, powerful legs provide an excellent running ability, striding over 34 mph to chase down their meals. The wide feet are also a plus, as they keep the Maxijaw from sinking into the boggy swamp where it thrives, and even allow a form of swimming, presenting an new food source for these dangerous killers. They have a height of 53.9 ft.

Evolution
The Maxijaw started out a timid, quick little cells, quickly turning into confident hunters, where they use their omnivorus diet to their advantage, eating anything that comes into it's limited sight. Then, these little guys discovered land, and developed four legs for means of walking on the new land presented to them. They met new creatures, old rivals, and even an epic (which didn't turn out so well). However, around 253 million years ago, a meteorite smashed into the planet Gagi, and rapidly turned the rocky, freezing climate into a boggy, humid jungle, providing the herbivores with an evo-feast, and the carnivores with even more herbivores. The Maxijaw quickly (and went unnoticed) evolved into a four legged, two headed amphibian, with huge claws, tiny heads, and a stumpy body. While this was an exellent species that had evoloved, they soon had many predators, and numbers started to dwindle. Happily, the gases poured out by volcanoes turned the swamp into a desert, and much of life went extinct. Even more happily, the Maxijaw took this apocalypse to their advantage. Their stance turned from a fat, short body to a two-legged heavily-muscled body, while the other two legs merged into the two other heads and formed a neck for an extra head in the center. Instead of eyes on the head, the preadators evolved their eye in their chest, giving them exellent vision. Their size turned from 13 ft to a staggering 53.9 ft. Even though the swampy terrain returned, the Maxijaw stayed as they were, being at the top of the food chain.

Diet, Lifespan, and Hunting Habits
The Maxijaw have an amazing lifespan of over 19340 years (that's 19845 earth years). This may be due to both the massive size and diet of the carnivore. Their favorite types of meat are either rotten, burnt, or both! However, they will eat rocks if nessisary (which is stunningly rare). But they do enjoy the chase when hunting prey. When out hunting, they will actually mask their scent by rolling in the "waste" of their prey, which will provide exellent cover. When at around 83 ft from their inital target, they crouch low, keeping hidden in the undergrowth (or water!), until one comes closer. Then, just when the prey feel a disturbence, the Maxijaw bursts out of it's hiding spot, and attepts to grab at least two victims. When they have caught what they were targeting, they push and pull their prey's neck rabidly, snapping it with horrific force. When dead, the predator tears of the head, throws it in a bush, and begin to savagly consume the entire prey. They bring the head back later for their young.

Tribe
It has been rumored that the Maxijaw has formed a tribe, while not as advance as most of the others. So, they destroyed these other tribes, and were the "first" tribe on the Gagi planet.
