The Velociraptor is a playable [[Carnivorous_Creatures|carnivore]] in Beasts of Bermuda. It's one of the smallest playable creatures in the game, rivaled only by the [[Oryctodromeus]].

 +
The [[Size|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 incredible heights: the highest of all creatures, and is even able to control the direction of its jump while in mid-air, allowing it to almost glide in the direction it chooses. Its high [[Stamina|stamina]] pool most definitely compliments this feature. Such survivability allows it to explore a flexible range of different playstyles, be it a skittish scavenger, an egg thief, or a hunter of larger creatures.

** Default: LMB (Left Mouse Button)

** A high DPS bite that deals a small amount of damage.
  
The Velociraptor is the smallest creature that can be selected for play in Beasts of Bermuda. It is a [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivore]] and must eat [[Carcass|meat]] in order to survive.  Though it does not have the [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivorous]] trait, some players have been able to sustain themselves eating [[Fish|fish]] as the Velociraptor due to its relatively high [[Swimming|swimming]] speed.

** Default: RMB (Right Mouse Button)
 +
** A chargeable jump that will send the Velociraptor leaping forward at great speeds, largely ignoring any carried weight. This ability is very stamina-expensive.
  
It has a very low [[Size|weight]], and grants very little food to large predators. It also, however, consumes very little of a carcass when eating, and works very well as a scavenger. It has a high metabolism and must eat regularly in order to survive.
+
* '''Climb'''
 +
** Default: E (Interact Button)
 +
** By double-tapping E on a surface, the Velociraptor will attach to it and be given the option to [[Climbing|climb]] upwards (W), slide downwards (S), move from side-to-side (A and D), and detach by pressing E again. This ability does not cost Ability Power or Stamina. Climbing surfaces while carrying food or objects is permitted.
 +
** If the Velociraptor does not have at least 1 limb on the surface of which it's [[climbing]], it will detach automatically and fall to the ground.
 +
** There is currently a bug where sliding all the way to the bottom of a climbable surface might mesh the Velociraptor through the map. Exit [[climbing]] before touching the bottom to avoid this.
  
The Velociraptor has the highest [[Stamina|stamina]] pool of any creature, possessing 150.  This allows it to run and jump a significant amount before tiring. It is also highly adept at [[Jumping|jumping]], allowing it to climb and reach high ledges and rocks.
+

* Velociraptor possesses a fairly weak bite at base, however, investing in the [[Talents|talent]] "Sharp Teeth" allows a great boost in damage toward larger creatures (everything, except [[Oryctodromeus]]).

** Against Velociraptors, consider investing in the [[Talents|talent]] "Thick Hide" to ''reduce'' the amount of damage you take from smaller creatures.
  
The Velociraptor's [[Primary Attack|primary attack]] is an ordinary [[Bite|bite]]. It deals light damage and must bite larger foes a significant amount of times in order to land a kill.
+
* Velociraptor excels at invading and raiding [[Oryctodromeus]] [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrows]]. It can further bolster its burrow-raiding capabilities with the "Vigilance" [[Talents|talent]], reducing the damage and comfort debuffs received when underground, as well as extending the vision range beyond the underground fog.
  
The Velociraptor's [[Secondary Attack|secondary attack]] is a [[Pouncing|pounce]], which is capable of latching onto large prey. A [[Packing System|pack]] of Velociraptor can down large opponents such as the [[Acrocanthosaurus]] quite efficiently.
+
* Velociraptor has a wide range of playstyle options, including but not limited to:
 +
** '''Nest Raider -''' Utilizing the "Nest Raider" [[talents]], the Velociraptor can easily prey upon other creatures' [[Nesting|offspring]].
 +
** '''Scavenger -''' By solely eating carcasses, the Velociraptor rarely needs to hunt. It may even thieve off kills made by other [[Carnivorous_Creatures|carnivores]].
 +
** '''Bird Killer -''' Utilizing the "Wing Tear" and "Acrobat" [[talents]], the Velociraptor can jump into the sky and bring down Fliers with ease.
 +
** '''Apex Hunter -''' With the talent "Sharp Teeth", some friends, and a lot of patience, the Velociraptor can whittle down large apexes.
  
Unique Abilities: The Velociraptor has several unique abilities. It is able to pounce nearly all of the creatures in the game. The Velociraptor is also the only creature in Beasts of Bermuda capable of [[climbing]] onto ledges, cliffs, walls, and some trees.  In order to successfully grab a ledge, a player must be holding down the use [[Keybinding|keybind]] while approaching a grabbable surface and while in the air. A Velociraptor can jump from surface to surface. Once on a surface, a Velociraptor can jump off and safely glide to the ground. The Velociraptor may even be able to [[Nesting system|nest]] in trees in the future. Finally, it is able to enter Oryctodromeus [[Digging Mechanic and Burrows|burrows]], even as an adult.
+
* Thanks to Velociraptor's small size, it can find [[shelter]] from [[Weather|storms]] almost anywhere.
  
Other Facts: The Velociraptor was the first dinosaur to be added to Beasts of Bermuda. It is the main predator of [[Oryctodromeus]]. Being able to enter its burrows, there is almost no escape for these little herbivores. A pack of Velociraptors is a deadly force of nature, and even a skilled, lone velociraptor can take out large quarry.
+
* Although it has a fairly fast metabolism, it can fill up on even the smallest [[Carcass|carcasses]].
  
The Velociraptor has no [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]] and must take shelter from [[Weather|storms]] in order to survive.

* There are plans to update the feathering on the Velociraptor's current model. This is not a top-priority change, though.
 +
* The Velociraptor once had the ability to latch onto other creatures, but this was quickly removed due to bugs.

Overview

The Velociraptor is a playable carnivore in Beasts of Bermuda. It's one of the smallest playable creatures in the game, rivaled only by the 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 incredible heights: the highest of all creatures, and is even able 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 most definitely compliments this feature. Such survivability allows it to explore a flexible range of different playstyles, be it a skittish scavenger, an egg thief, or a hunter of larger creatures.

    • If the Velociraptor does not have at least 1 limb on the surface of which it's climbing, it will detach automatically and fall to the ground.
    • There is currently a bug where sliding all the way to the bottom of a climbable surface might mesh the Velociraptor through the map. Exit climbing before touching the bottom to avoid this.

Survival Tips

  • Velociraptor possesses a fairly weak bite at base, however, investing in the talent "Sharp Teeth" allows a great boost in damage toward larger creatures (everything, except Oryctodromeus).
    • Against Velociraptors, consider investing in the talent "Thick Hide" to reduce the amount of damage you take from smaller creatures.
  • Velociraptor excels at invading and raiding Oryctodromeus burrows. It can further bolster its burrow-raiding capabilities with the "Vigilance" talent, reducing the damage and comfort debuffs received when underground, as well as extending the vision range beyond the underground fog.

    • Nest Raider - Utilizing the "Nest Raider" talents, the Velociraptor can easily prey upon other creatures' offspring.
    • Scavenger - By solely eating carcasses, the Velociraptor rarely needs to hunt. It may even thieve off kills made by other carnivores.
    • Bird Killer - Utilizing the "Wing Tear" and "Acrobat" talents, the Velociraptor can jump into the sky and bring down Fliers with ease.
    • Apex Hunter - With the talent "Sharp Teeth", some friends, and a lot of patience, the Velociraptor can whittle down large apexes.
