<p>132.147.27.40: Added Jurassic Park reference.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Quality|Tattered}}<br /> {{Creaturelookup/0<br /> |image=velociraptor_sprites.png<br /> |portrait=velociraptor_portrait_anim.gif}}<br /> {{av}}<br /> {{creaturedesc}}<br /> <br /> The [[Velociraptor]] is a small, extinct carnivorous dinosaur from the [[wikipedia:Cretaceous|Cretaceous]] period. It is found in savage tropical shrublands, badlands and rocky wastelands.<br /> As with all real-world extinct creatures, they must be endabled during world creation to spawn. Velociraptors, unlike what some humans might try to convince you, have feathers. Baby Velociraptors are known as ''hatchlings''.<br /> <br /> Velociraptors can do serious damage to dwarves, but are far from [[Giant kea|a fort-ending threat]]. Some might concider them as an alternative to chickens and turkeys due to their large clutch size, though they must beware of the [[catsplosion|dinosplosion]] that might ensue.<br /> <br /> Some [[Dwarf|dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] velociraptors for their ''scything claws'', their ''speed'' and their ''feathers''.<br /> <br /> {{D for Dwarf}}<br /> [[Cat]]s of royal lineage have been known to adopt these creatures as pets.<br /> <br /> [[Human]] legends mention them possessing the ability to open doors to catch hiding prey. However, this has never been observed by [[Dwarf|dwarven]] scholars, and remains nothing more than a [[rumor]]. Many believe they encountered a [[velociraptor man]], instead.<br /> <br /> {{gamedata}}<br /> {{Creatures}}</div>
