Well supposedly, if we multiply the pressure by the area of their teeth then the displacement of the bite we can get energy? Idk how accurate is that though.

What energy output though?
Also this is an issue for like prehistoric animals, since we don't have much information on what damage they tend to do.

Giant Squids are threatening to 9-B Animals via its venom, not energy output or anything like that. That would just be durability negation if it's via venom.
And yeah, prehistoric Animals are really hard to judge given no one has recorded feats. Stuff like T-Rex, and Triceratops are clearly 9-B.

Dinosaurs are obviously 9-B via size alone, and so are most large land mammals (Elephants being a dead giveaway) with most being large enough to easily yield destructive energy results faaaaaaaar higher than their tackles, though some large ones like whales could be suitable candidates for baseline 9-B or being close to it.

Wasnt a médium sized Octopus able to overpower a human?

I wasn't referring to the squid, but rather animals with claws, teeth, and the like, somewhat similar to how we handle Wolverine (Marvel Comics).

So are you suggesting "X via KE, higher with claws/teeth"?
- 34,668

Another thing is that teeth and claws kind of suffer the same problems as most swords and knives profiles do. It's damaging due to sharpness rather than energy yield. Although, melee weapons also have problems in which they cannot properly be tiered without a wielder.
Adamantium is kind of a different story as that's a supermetal that kind of ignores physics.

In our simplified system, for most characters, we just list a sharp weapon's tier as "higher" or the consistent amount of damage they do to a character.

So like "'''higher''' via piercing damage for animals with specifically notable sharp teeth or claws that they commonly use to attack?

I like Spino's suggestion too.
- 11,099
- 4,326
So can I apply that to animals such as sharks or dinosaurs?
- 11,099
- 4,326
I'll do so when I can.

Should ancient hominins have the "higher" stat, or is it unnecessary?
- 11,099
- 4,326
That doesn't matter, I'm asking whether their teeth or other sharp body parts are notable enough to list.
- 11,099

I don't think the OP has been dealt with yet actually.

Underwater stuff is pretty hard to tier properly. It takes more energy to push a body underwater, but at the same time the near lack of gravity and the higher drag force both make what should be 9-B or even higher something a human could survive relatively easily.

I think DontTalkDT and Ugarik already rejected using pressure by environment for LS

True, but kinetic energy by swimming is still used sometimes, no? That still comes with the same problems, since under water the same energy is quickly wasted to moving the water away, and not every character can do it above ground.
- 11,099

I think so.

What about monkeys and gorillas? Some of them have pretty exceptional bites.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:

I feel that animals that specifically use their bite as a weapon (and are stronger with it than normally) should have it.
- 11,099
- 4,326
Ok I'll add them for monkeys then.

Bulls and oxen would have piercing strength from their horns I assume?
- 26,178
- 3,656
Yes, they should have it.

Deer horns don't seem to be so sharp though?
