## Characteristics

The Raptor Rider is a tribal warrior riding on a larger, tamed variant of the Raptor. They steer the Raptor to attack their enemies, taking their advantage of their steed's speed to conduct hit-and-run tactics. Armed like the Cavalry Knight but in a primitive form, they mainly use a simple spear to attack and a crude wooden shield to stop incoming projectiles.

Compared to their wild breathens, the tamed Raptor is much tougher but also slower. They can still trample units, but has lost their wild instincts in biting. If they were to be put down first whilst in combat, the Raptor Rider will dismount and fight on foot. Conversely, if the Raptor Rider was killed first, the Raptor will expire as well.

Like many cavalry units, they have an ability that creates explosions wherever they move, effectively trampling those who are unfortunate enough to get under them. However, the Raptor's trampling radius is very small and rarely plays into effect. It also requires the Raptor to be speeding for it to inflict damage.

## Appearance

The rider of the Raptor Rider uses the Wobbler unit base, has short hair, a fur loincloth, and tribal trinkets. They ride a larger than a normal Raptor.

## Strategies

### Usage

The Raptor Rider's fighting style is very similar to the Cavalry unit: it rides quickly around the battlefield, with its raptor "biting" enemy units while it tries to stab them with its spear. When its raptor dies, the rider dismounts and fights on foot. When fighting on foot, the rider fights with its spear and shield, and is effectively a weaker Hoplite. The Raptor Rider is good for distracting and disrupting enemy formations due to its raptor friend and its spear, both of which do decent damage. However, its health is not the greatest, and it isn't great with large groups of enemies. In a nutshell, it's a cheaper, weaker Cavalry unit.
