Raptors are large, fast combat animals. They act as both enemies and companions under different circumstances.
Enemy[]
Enemy Raptors are commonly found in all prehistoric worlds, but can also appear in desert, jungle and drylands environments at expedition 5 and 6. They appear alone or in groups of 2-3, have a high aggro chance and are as fast as any explorer. In packs of 3, Raptors represent a great threat to any experienced explorer, matching the damage of the Giant Crab at its most fearsome and boasting a total of 36 toughness, which is 11 greater than the crab.
Combat[]
Each raptor in the pack adds three attack dice in combat, which makes it capable of delivering a lot of damage very rapidly.

Companion[]
Raptor companions can be hatched from mysterious eggs found in raptor nests. A few secret explorers have them as starting companions.
They are mediocre pack animals, but truly shine when mounted, which gives them the fast mount perk and a powerful combat die. If promoted by Alexandra David-Neel, they can become extremely powerful combat animals, potentially dealing up to 12 damage per turn.

Notes[]
- Animal: Can only be promoted through Alexandra David-Neel's Animal Whisperer perk.
- Fast Combat Mount: Can be ridden to reduce the base sanity cost of travel. When mounted, gains an additional combat die and the Fast Mount perk at the cost of -1 total Cargo Capacity.
- Combat dice given when mounting cannot be used while over-encumbered.
- Warning: If you choose to remove the Raptor from your trek, it will be placed on the map as a hostile animal and may get aggroed if you remain near it.
