Archeraptor

Archeraptors are an original species of dinosaur that first appeared in the book The Autistic Hero. It is an evolution of the Velociraptor which have become adapted to having the ability of remembering faces as well as locking eyes as they are no longer just rushing animals they are now pro-archers. Their name literally means Archer Thief and they are evolved to have 5 fingers which the fifth is an opposable thumb. The Archeraptor are first encountered after Xenith Stephenson and the rest of the students in Cooking class had their eggs that they were using to make omelets were stolen by Oviraptors that broke in through the vent and they were about to run into their habitat but were assaulted by only 3 Archeraptors despite there being 20 of them. They ended up single-handedly killing them all with arrows to the sternums. The raptors posed no other hostility towards the main characters.

## Biology

The Archeraptor is a very unique adaptation of the Velociraptor which has grown not only manipulative feathers that change like that of a Chameleon but also have the unique characteristic of being more intelligent than the Troodon and even are known to domesticate them like cavemen do dogs. This behavior is very much the most human a dinosaur has become aside from being mutated. The creature's eyes are much more complex and its able to also use echolocation much better than their counterparts. Their most fascinating features are their feathers which despite being textured and move like leaves are actually as sharp and deep cutting as paper which if it hits its foe it will cause instant bleeding. The Archeraptor use these via the feathers on its arms which can open slits like a quill of thorns and a small string is seen between them. generally they pull the feather from their left arm and fire with the right arm but it really depends on the raptor's handedness. They also come in an array of different colors and also can use those resonating chambers to locate each other's whereabouts and then to suddenly strike! They stand about the height of a Utahraptor.

## Abilities

Lock On Eyes: The eyes of the Archeraptor are much more forward facing which allows them to aim their feathers easier.

Feather Leaf Camoflauge: The feathers of this dinosaur are so similar to leaves that they blend in almost completely and can even move them to match the wind current and look invisible, these also trap heat.

Echolocation: Much like other raptors, these ones use it via their toe claws which they tap in certain motions.

Resonation Communication: With their resonating chambers, the Archeraptors can easily talk to each other and figure out positioning in order to strike.

Razor Blade Teeth: Archeraptors have adapted more Razor Blade-like teeth which are shaped like leaves and they are used for a swift kill by biting at the neck of the victim and quickly tearing outwards, Its been shown they also use these teeth to make sparks with rocks to start a fire.

Arrow Feather: With their special razor feathers, Archeraptors can fire them at an alarming speed of up to 500 miles per hour and they are also unable to be felt until after the impact where they leave a thin gash to begin draining blood. These are as dangerous as swiss blades and can regenerate.

Intelligence: The Archeraptors are so smart that they tamed Troodons similar to how humans have tamed wolves. This allows them for essentially a dinosaur familiar.
