Overview

The Velociraptor is a playable carnivore in Beasts of Bermuda. It is one of the smallest playable creatures in the game, rivaled only by the currently unreleased Oryctodromeus

The small stature of the Velociraptor gives it a plethora of advantages, such as squeezing through rocks, surviving immensely high falls, climbing trees, and most importantly, staying hidden. It can also jump at incredibly heights: the highest of all creatures, and is able even to control the direction of its jump while in mid-air, allowing it to almost glide in the direction it chooses. Its high stamina pool (a full grown possessing 150) most definitely compliments its jumping.

Oftentimes, it is interpreted as a weak and skittish carnivore, but it is deceptively one of the strongest. Such small size allows the Velociraptor to dodge attacks and bite its targets with incredible agility. With enough careful practice, a single Velociraptor can kill creatures as large as a Tyrannosaurus rex!

Abilities

Unique Signature Attribute: The Velociraptor can climb up trees and rock walls by pressing E when jumping near a climbable surface. Pressing E will detach the Velociraptor, while pressing Spacebar will cause it to leap off the object.

• Primary Attack: An ordinary bite. It deals low damage but has very fast attack speed.

• Secondary Attack: A very lengthy pounce. Holding Mouse 2 will charge the pounce for maximum distance.

Unique Attribute: The Utahraptor possesses a significantly enlarged amount of ability power, having been granted 150 rather than the typical 100, and a moderately enlarged amount of stamina; 120 instead of the standard 100.

• Special Ability - Baby Snatcher: The Velociraptor must unlock this talent in order to utilize it. Once unlocked, it will be able to grab smaller creatures by holding the ability key next to them. As the victim is held, Ability power will slowly deplete (meaning you cannot hold them forever), and you are not able to attack the grabbed victim.

Weakness

The biggest weakness of the Velociraptor is its frail health. Oftentimes, only one or two hit is needed to kill a Velociraptor.

The Velociraptor will often attempt to attack its target's blind spots, such as the back of the feet and the tail. Creatures that have attacks that reach near or beyond their feet such as the Ichthyovenator, Apatosaurus and Saichania can effectively brush off any Velociraptor that dares do so.

Lastly, the Velociraptor has very low weather resistance, and must seek shelter in even mild rain.

Additional Notes

• When the Oryctodromeus becomes a playable creature, its burrows will be able to be trespassed by the Velociraptor.
