The largest part of their diet is composed of smaller prey (mostly rodents), as well as the eggs and juveniles of other raptors, and when hunting alone, they rarely attack humans. In groups, however, they are known to be bold enough to attack even armored vehicles. They are mostly nocturnal, though also show crepuscular tendencies. Due to their size and high reproductive rate, they are often prey themselves to larger raptors. Excellent at jumping (a healthy adult can leap between 3 and 5 times their length without a running start), though their true strength lies in their ability to climb.[/hider] [hider=Brute Raptor][center][img]https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/025/696/500/large/george-bennett-dino-in-the-mist.jpg?1586642119[/img][/center] [u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Brute Raptor ([i]Neoraptor vigiles[/i]) [u][b]Height:[/b][/u] 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 meters) at the hip [u][b]Length:[/b][/u] 14-16 feet (4.27-4.88 meters) [u][b]Other Information:[/b][/u] The first breed of raptor created for use by military and police forces, the Brute Raptor is, as its name implies, larger and stronger than the Common Raptor. Though slower than their smaller counterparts, Brutes make up for it with endurance and resilience. While all raptors show great intelligence, Brute Raptors are exceptional at following complex commands and figuring out situations they haven't faced before. They are often found in small groups between two and five individuals, though groups of eight or more aren't unheard of when there is enough food around. While physically smaller than females, males tend to be more heavily built, and have brighter plumage on their heads, arms, and tail. Unlike other breeds created for use in combat, their hides are unarmored, making them vulnerable to gunfire. A healthy adult can jump between two and three times their body length, with males being able to jump slightly farther than females due to being lighter. Juveniles are adept climbers, and will often climb trees or other structures to avoid predators.[/hider] [hider=Lyre Raptor][center][img]https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/006/996/125/large/raph-lomotan-wyvern.jpg?1502885195[/img][/center] [u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Lyre Raptor ([i]Neoraptor mimos[/i]); colloquially called "Mimics", "Piranhas", or "Flyers" [u][b]Wingspan:[/b][/u] Around 70 inches (177.8 centimeters) [u][b]Length:[/b][/u] Around 30 inches (76.2 centimeters) [u][b]Other Information:[/b][/u] Named for their uncanny ability to mimic sounds, the Lyre Raptor usually avoids humans unless provoked, living in flocks and eating prey like insects, small birds, and rodents (though, like other raptors, are certainly not above scavenging a free meal). There are only two exceptions to this: the first is being near a nest with eggs or chicks; the second is during times of extreme scarcity. At this time, flocks of hundreds of Lyre Raptors will take to the air and attack any animal unfortunate enough to be spotted. Once potential prey is spotted, the flock swarms around the victim in a feeding frenzy, ripping chunks of flesh with their teeth and talons before quickly retreating so as not to be attacked by other members of the flock.[/hider] [hider=Shogal][center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e9/29/90/e92990b0a51c35215e00ae882691f2c7.jpg[/img][/center] [u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Shogal ([i]Neoraptor chacal[/i]); colloquially known as "Jackals", "Skulkers", and "Creepers" [u][b]Height:[/b][/u] 2 feet (0.61 meters) at the shoulders [u][b]Length:[/b][/u] 12 feet (3.66 meters) [u][b]Other Information:[/b][/u] Despite originally being bred as a cheaper alternative to the Jaeger ([i]Neoraptor venator[/i]), the Shogal has established itself in the new world as a prolific scavenger. Often living alone or in pairs, they often follow other raptors and take parts of their kills. The only reason this seems to be tolerated is because Shogals will occasionally lead packs to potential prey. While they normally don't attack humans, if they're desperate enough for food, they will attempt to hunt humans that are alone or in a small group. While they're individually very weak, they possess certain compounds in their saliva with narcotic effects, making bitten prey feel drowsy and less likely to fight back. Shogals are poor climbers, but excellent sprinters. Other than leaping at prey (a healthy adult can usually jump twice their body length), they rarely do any kind of jumping.[/hider] [/hider] [hider=Uncommon Breeds] [hider=Jaeger Raptor][center][img]https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/003/413/458/large/william-gozak-fao-animal-concept.jpg?1473419832[/img][/center] [u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Jaeger Raptor ([i]Neoraptor venator[/i]); colloquially called "Hunters" [u][b]Height:[/b][/u] 2.5-4 feet (0.76-1.22 meters) at the shoulder [u][b]Length:[/b][/u] 12-16 feet (3.66-4.88 meters) [u][b]Other Information:[/b][/u] Originally bred for the purposes of sporting, Jaeger Raptors quickly became the go-to choice for wealthy hunters who wanted a better status symbol than a rare hunting dog. Known for their sharper than average senses (even by raptor standards) and seemingly endless endurance, the breed was one of the first spotted in the wild, where it was able to outcompete many apex predators. Packs tend to be small and closely knit, with the young's care coming first and foremost. If one ever finds a Jaeger Raptor nest, egg, or hatchling, it's best to move out of the territory as quickly as possible, since they are known to kill anything that intrudes on their nest, even if it means tracking down the culprit to the edges of their territory. Females are smaller and more gracile than males, as well as faster. In addition to being incredible jumpers (in terms of vertical and horizontal leaping), Jaegers are adept climbers, with wrists and ankle joints not unlike squirrels or snow leopards; in fact, juveniles can hang on to trees in a very squirrel-like fashion.[/hider] [hider=Wu Long][center][img]https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/013/576/597/4k/emelie-johansson-raptor-concepts-smaller.jpg?1540238704[/img][/center] [u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Wu Long ([i]Neoraptor draco[/i]); usually called "Longs", "Ryus", or "Dragons" [u][b]Height:[/b][/u] 5-7 feet (1.52-2.13 meters) at the hip [u][b]Length:[/b][/u] 17-20 feet (5.18-6.1 meters) [u][b]Other information:[/b][/u] Originally a one-off creation for an eccentric billionaire, the Wu Long entered mass production when it was shown to be highly effective as a sort of bodyguard. Intelligent, undyingly loyal to its alpha, thick, heavy skeleton, skin with enough natural armor to stop a small-caliber round, and the ability to spit a sort of natural pepper spray (as well as its fierce, draconic appearance) made the breed a popular choice for those like celebrities and politicians. Now, they're most commonly seen in major cities, and are known to be considerably aggressive due to competition for food. Unlike most raptors, they are poor jumpers, thanks in part to their bulk, and instead rely on ambush tactics and their caustic saliva.[/hider] [hider=Wu Lieren][center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/675514883214934021/712591426265022584/Concept_Raptor.jpg[/img][/center] [u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Wu Lieren ([i]Neoraptor nublarensis[/i]) [u][b]Height:[/b][/u] 5.5-6 feet (1.68-1.83 meters) [u][b]Length:[/b][/u] 16-20 feet (4.88-6.1 meters) [u][b]Other Information:[/b][/u] The second breed commissioned by the eccentric billionaire John Wu, the Wu Lieren was conceived purely for the purpose of catering to nostalgia. Its physical abilities and senses are similar to the Brute raptor ([i]Neoraptor vigiles[/i]), though they are better at running long distances. Uniquely among raptors, their hands are incredibly dexterous (though incapable of grasping in a manner like a human), allowing them to manipulate items better than other breeds. In another quirk discovered after breeding in the wild, Wu Lieren's skin pattern and color (and, to a lesser extent, skin texture) can vary greatly between individuals, and even between parent and offspring. Aggressive and territorial, the breed seems to enjoy stalking prey. Females are usually larger and stockier than males, while males are usually brighter in color, and possess small crests above and just in front of their eyes. Unlike many raptors of their size, they are astonishing jumpers, able to jump vertically almost twenty feet, and pounce from one spot roughly three or four times their body length.[/hider] [hider=Jungle Warfare Raptor][center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/00/1e/50/001e50224ae0f70df9a30a026b1c264d.jpg[/img][/center] [u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Jungle Warfare Raptor ([i]Neoraptor vigiles saltus[/i]); also known as "Jungle Brutes" [u][b]Height:[/b][/u] 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 meters) at the hip [u][b]Length:[/b][/u] 14-16 feet (4.27-4.88 meters) [u][b]Other Information:[/b][/u] A subspecies of the Brute raptor ([i]Neoraptor vigiles[/i]), Jungle Warfare raptors were bred specifically for military and police operations in environments with dense vegetation. They are faster and tougher than normal Brute raptors, but also much rarer. Among the different subspecies, they are only slightly above the nominate Brutes in terms of jumping ability. Despite mostly being found in tropical locations, they can occasionally be found with groups of Brute raptors in other environments.[/hider] [hider=Desert Warfare Raptor][center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/11/7c/b2/117cb276fa772187f1f74bc0f7cac86c.jpg[/img][/center] [u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Desert Warfare Raptor ([i]Neoraptor vigiles eremus[/i]); also known as "Desert Brutes" [u][b]Height:[/b][/u] 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 meters) at the hip [u][b]Length:[/b][/u] 14-16 feet (4.27-4.88 meters) [u][b]Other Information:[/b][/u] A subspecies of the Brute raptor ([i]Neoraptor vigiles[/i]), Desert Warfare Raptors were created for use in arid combat theaters. Though more lightly built than their kin, they possess an armored hide that makes them incredibly difficult to kill, as well as help them to blend into rocky environments. Despite this, their jumping ability is below the nominate Brute subspecies; rather, they usually hunt by utilizing agile maneuvers and ambush tacics. Like Jungle Brutes, they're uncommon outside of desert and mountainous regions, but can still be found with other Brute raptors[/hider] [/hider] [hider=Rare Breeds] [hider=Special Operations Raptor][center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a5/c5/ae/a5c5aee0e8714763af60e4d723325e55.jpg[/img][/center] [u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Special Operations Raptor ([i]Neoraptor vigiles hashashin[/i]); also known as "SpecOps Raptors" [u][b]Height:[/b][/u] 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 meters) at the hip [u][b]Length:[/b][/u] 14-16 feet (4.27-4.88 meters) [u][b]Other Information:[/b][/u] The rarest variation of the Brute raptor, SpecOps raptors were created for use by special operations teams. Thanks to their modifications, they are powerful swimmers, and are able to withstand extreme changes in pressure, as well as hold their breath for up to twenty minutes. Out of the Brute subspecies, they are the strongest jumpers, only surpassed by the Wu Lieren ([i]Neoraptor nublarensis[/i]) They seem to have an almost preternatural ability to stay quiet while moving; indeed, they rarely vocalize outside of their nest, and communicate by a combination of eye and fin movement, as well as tapping their toe claw. Though able to adapt to nearly any environment, they tend to live near sources of water, be it fresh or salt water.[/hider] [hider=Stalker Raptor][center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/200519/db37df73b3f2fbedebb7d6b51863f091.png[/img][/center][/hider] [hider=Praetorian Raptor][center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/200519/db37df73b3f2fbedebb7d6b51863f091.png[/img][/center][/hider] [hider=Tyrant Raptor][center][img]https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/010/772/744/large/george-bennett-tissoplastic-allosaurus-prog-6.jpg?1526145698[/img][/center] [u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Tyrant Raptor ([i]Neoraptor rigas[/i]) [u][b]Height:[/b][/u] 12-14 feet (3.66-4.27 meters) at the hip [u][b]Length:[/b][/u] 30-35 feet (9.14-10.67 meters) [u][b]Other Information:[/b][/u] The largest of the raptors produced by the Udenberg Corporation, Tyrants usually live solitary lives, and are the apex predator of their territory. Incredibly territorial and aggressive, they do not tolerate the presence of humans in their territory. When a Tyrant moves into a new area, the raptors nearby behave in odd ways, including different breeds that would normally attack each other working together to hunt. Many theories have been posited, but unless information about the Tyrant Project can be found, all anyone can do is speculate. Poor jumpers, but what they can't reach they can usually dislodge with brute strength.[/hider] [/hider]
