Description
Pteroraptors evolved as a result of the unusual terrain of Roxborough. Vaguely reptilian, this predator earns its name by sharing characteristics of the ancient flying Pterodactyl and the pack-hunting Velociraptor dinosaurs. In the close quarters of Roxborough's dense forests, the pteroraptor presses its winged forearms to its sides and operates as a fast-running biped. In open fields it spreads its wings and hunts from the air. Not a true flyer, it can glide for long distances on the howling winds and abundant thermal updrafts that rise from the planet's plains. In any terrain, it hunts in groups and has a tendency to strike from ambush. An omnivore, it will eat almost anything to survive but prefers fresh meat from the many small mammals that inhabit its hunting grounds.[1]
