Raptor

Raptors are one of the creatures found in Erania. Unlike their real-world counterparts, raptors have feathers, beaks, and wings.

Appearance
Raptors resemble velociraptors with featers, beaks, and wings. The wing feathers end in a claw, and the beaks have teeth.

Behavior
Raptors hunt in packs of up to ten birds. They naturally hunt jackalopes, bats, turtles, and saber-tooth lions (leading to the belief that they are unlucky) but are very terretorial during spring (when they are protecting their eggs or young) and winter (mating season).

Raptors can be tamed by hatching them in captivity, as they will believe the first thing they see to be their mother. They can be bred with other birds (Including dragons, griffons and harpies) as well as large reptiles (such as saber-tooth turtles and Komodo dragons) and mostly cross-breeds are shipped out of Erania,

Life Cycle
Raptors' life cycles start when they are laid as eggs in a nest in the spring. They hatch two months after they are laid when they are born, they are the size of a hummingbird and are covered in soft, white down. They stay with the pack for the summer, but when they are mature (four months old) they leave and start their own packs. In the winter they mate and the life cycle begins anew.
