Rotonoraptor

A hunter of many lands, commonly the swamps, forests, rainforests and even the grassy plains.  Being renowned pack hunters for their attack style. Many don't even realize their being hunted  by these creatures until it’s too late. Attacking in groups of 4-5 (+1) (Just as note packs can of course get bigger but the maximum is 6 for fairness in game) with a pack leader. The assault begins with the chirping of these creatures communicating and shrieking. Alarming their victim before pouncing upon them, shredding them to pieces.

Though fret not, these pack hunters are quite small and in their early stages of life are quite easy to dispatch. These ambushes as described above are not usually that successful. For they frequently lose their own kind in an attack such as this, or even the entire pack. Leaving the leader with no followers. For the pack leader of these little groups is a  Rotonoraptor in its adult stage. Fully grown and fully capable unlike its other, much smaller feathery kin.

## **Anatomy**

Standing on digitigrade legs with sharp little claws complimenting them, these bright feathery little creatures are dangerous. For now only are there claws on their feet, they have little feathery arms that adorn talons as well. Along with teeth sharper than any razor. Being seen to easily rip through gambeson with their fangs, but unable to slash through it with their claws. A long tail to keep balance as well. Their adult counterparts on the other end, are much more capable and deadly. A feathered reptilian with weapons to back it up. Adorning quite angular snouts and have glowing yellow eyes, able to be seen in the darkness.

Generally the Rotonoraptors are quite fragile, but make up for it with Agility and brutality in their attacks. Along with the tactic of overwhelming numbers to quickly subdue prey. Though their basic limitations in tactics alongside fragile state makes them easy pickings for any battle hardened hunter.

(Fledglings can only run at 15Mph

Fully fledged raptors can only run at 25 Mph)

### Fledglings

Standing around 1-2 feet tall and only 2 to 3 feet in length. These small hunters rely upon each other for taking down prey. But are extremely fragile and quite easily get injured.  A simple punch could easily knock one unconscious if  struck directly upon the skull, and a  strike of a sword could not only maul flesh, but easily destroy its bones as if cutting through butter. Luckily not being defenseless, they have razor sharp teeth and claws to compliment it.

(As another note only their fangs can pierce through gambeson in one move. They’d have to rake their way through gambeson)

### Fully Fledged Raptor: (EARNED VIA APPLICATION!)

They stand at 6-7 feet tall and  are 7-8 feet in length. Being stronger, faster and more agile compared to their younger state. Along with a leader amongst them. For it is very rare for a  Rotonoraptor to, of course, reach this stage in life. Still retaining fragile traits though from its younger state, but not as severe. Punches can no longer knock them out unfortunately, so they must be careful when dealing with this feathered predator.  Their fangs are able to pierce through chainmail and claws are able to rake through any gambeson in a single blow. They are no joke and must be treated as if they are a legitimate threat.

(After a  week of Development as   Fledgling, one may apply for a fully fledged Rotonoraptor.  There is no feat requirement, its simple development. Such as being a part of a pack, hunting someone, etc. It doesn't need to be all combat, but combat should be a part of its development. They’re very aggressive)
