…divergences from the norm that have to do with the brain/behaviour. They do, however, still need to commit those movements to their muscle memory in order to react that violently that quickly. And that requires a lot of training. Like seriously long high intensity training in this special field of combat. And at that point it’s easier to just have them flail and accidentally do some serious damage.

Especially in those with a clear social structure. Male individuals like that often also have zero mating chances (in species with female choice i.e. most species) and because they cannot reproduce and have no group protection, evolution will come for them in the long run. But from time to time there are indeed individuals who don’t have to ‘work their way up’ to that level of escalation, often in combination with mental illnesses, personality disorders or other…

From a biological point of view, that level of instantaneous brutality would most likely lead to the exclusion of an animal from its social group. As this level of escalation, to stick to the term, is not just efficient agains enemies but also extremely dangerous for conspecifics. One wrongly percieved situation and their lifes could be at stake so the ‘dangerous’ individual gets excluded. This can be seen in almost all social species
