Velociraptor[edit]
You are a velociraptor who, for some reason, is not hostile. Perhaps you were trained by another member of the party, or maybe you had some extra DNA spliced in. Whatever the reason is, you have joined the party. it's recommended that there is only one of these in the party.
Physical Description[edit]
You are, of course, a velociraptor. A six foot tall, scaly, beast. Reptilian in appearance, and sometimes described as a "six foot turkey". If you have seen any movies in the Jurassic series, you've seen one of these before.
History[edit]
Velociraptors and every other dinosaur are created by Dr. Henry Wu and his team of Ingengineers, to be theme park attractions.
Personality[edit]
Velociraptors are indeed animals. Thereby, a velociraptor might act like a poorly trained dog, or a cat who's only hanging around because it gets fed.
Velociraptor Names[edit]
Velociraptors have no set naming conventions, they are usually named by either their trainers, or the ranger who patrols the area. So here are a couple examples from the movies.
Male: There are no named male velociraptors in canon.
Female: Big One, Blue, Charlie, Echo, Delta
