COMBAT
The velociraptor is an aggressive predator that often hunts in packs. It uses its speed and cunning to ambush and surround its prey. It has advantage on attack rolls against a creature if at least one of its allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally is not incapacitated. It can make two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws. Its bite can pierce through flesh and bone, while its claws can slash and rend. If the target is a medium or smaller creature, the velociraptor can try to grapple it with its bite and drag it away.
HABITAT / SOCIETY
The velociraptor lives in warm, tropical regions, such as jungles, savannas, and grasslands. It prefers areas with dense vegetation that provide cover and concealment. It is a social animal that forms bonds with its pack members. It communicates with chirps, hisses, and clicks. It is territorial and will defend its hunting grounds from intruders. It is also curious and intelligent, capable of learning from experience and adapting to new situations.
ECOLOGY
The velociraptor is a carnivore that feeds on small to medium-sized animals, such as rodents, birds, lizards, and other dinosaurs. It can also scavenge carrion or steal kills from other predators. It needs to eat frequently to sustain its high metabolism. It reproduces by laying eggs in nests that are guarded by the pack. The hatchlings are born with feathers and can run shortly after hatching. They mature quickly and reach adulthood in about a year.
