Description

Fast, cunning, and deadly. Raptors are a family of lightly built dinosaurs that are closely related to birds, only with sharp teeth and claws. Real world raptors were feathered just like their modern day counterparts, though they are portrayed in No Budget Films with their outdated, scaly look. Our raptors utilize the Jurassic World puppet to achieve the special effect, so they're mostly modeled after the species known as Deinonychus. All evidence points to pack hunting behavior, which would've made Deinonychus a truly terrifying predator to encounter.

A group of these raptors has somehow made it into the modern age, hiding out in Scandinavian forests and gnawing on whatever prey they can find. Unfortunately for Lucas and his companions, that includes humans too.

One of the raptor's screeches in Dino Woods is just an unedited recording of my friend's friend doing a raptor impression.
