Red bellied piranhas
Biterrender


Battle of the small predatory fish. I would say in-character and no prior knowledge or prep but thats not really needed.

Who wins?

Red-Bellied Piranha - 0

Biter - 2 (Nemo212, Flashlight237)

Inconclusive - 0
 
He piranhas are able to move at a comparable speed in bursts so it's not like they're getting blitzed here
 
Yeah? Key words: in bursts.

Sooner or later the piranha's going to get tired, and the Biter will chomp it.
 
Assuming biters are comparable in size to a red-bellied piranha, which have a maximum weight of 3.9 kg, a swarm of ten biters would deal with creatures comparable in weight to exceptionally large tigers. The best red-bellied piranhas handled in groups were capybaras, which go for 35 to 66 lbs. Unless there's a better way to determine the size of a biter, I'm pretty sure that would make an individual Biter physically stronger than an individual red-bellied piranha.
 
Okay, from what I'm getting, the headless human model is about 714 pixels tall from the top of the collar (the neck stump would not really be visible on a person with a head) to the heel of the left foot while the biter is 129 px tall at its head. Anatomically speaking, we're talking 7/8 of a human, at least artisitcally speaking. Judging by that, and going off 5'9" for the average human, we got this.:

129/714*(69*7/8*2.54)=27.7065 cm

After that, I compared the biter's head height to its body length and the body was 1636/590 times as long as the head. Going off that, I got a body length of 77.2966 cm.

If we wanna round things up like biologists tend to, we're talking an 80-cm fish. Piranhas can go up to 50 cm and don't typically grow much larger than 35 cm.
