Powers and Stats
Tier: 10-B to 10-A, 9-C kinetic energy, higher with piercing damage
Name: Aardvark, Orycteropus afer, African ant bear, Cape anteater
Origin: The Real World
Gender: Varies (Can be either maIe or female)
Age: Varies (Can live up to almost 30 years in captivity)
Classification: Animal, vertebrate, mammal, aardvark
Powers and Abilities: Enhanced Senses (Smell and hearing), Natural Weaponry (Aardvarks use their long, powerful claws to tear open termite mounds, as well as dig underground), Peak Human Speed
Attack Potency: Human level to Athlete level (Aardvarks can weigh between 60 and 80 kilograms,[1] which makes them much larger than giant anteaters. Females are much weaker with a weight of only 50 kg[2]), Street level kinetic energy, higher with piercing damage (Claws are capable of causing significant damage to predators such as African wild dogs, pythons, and hyenas)
Speed: Peak Human (Up to 25 mph)
Lifting Strength: Average Human (Can support its own body weight)
Striking Strength: Human level to Athlete level
Durability: Human level to Athlete level (Aardvarks regularly fight with each other to secure a mate during mating season. The Panniculus Carnosus muscle allows many mammals (with the exception of primates) to have lessened severity of cuts, the ability to heal better from them, & have looser skin. This allows them to withstand bites/clawings from each other[3])
Stamina: Athletic (Travels up to 16 kilometers every night in search of food)
Range: Standard Melee Range
Intelligence: Animalistic
Standard Tactics: An aardvark would typically try to run away before resorting to attacking, usually by running away in a zig-zag pattern or quickly digging a hole. If that doesn't work, then they'll attack with their claws, tail, and shoulders. Occasionally, it may flip over onto its back to attack with all four feet.
Weaknesses: None notable
