Ladies and Gentlemen, we're very proud to announce the arrival of our latest attraction: Velociraptor. Don't let their size fool you, these raptors are destined to be one of our most entertaining exhibits. Please enjoy these dinosaurs, safe in the knowledge that visitor safety is our top priority.

- Jane Powers

The Velociraptor is one of the smallest animals in the game. It is a small carnivore, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in ferocity and pack-hunting. Its skin is based on the female Velociraptors in Jurassic Park ///.

Favorite prey[]

A Velociraptor's favorite prey is known to be small mammals, but they can hunt most of the herbivores, except for Brachiosaurus and Ankylosaurus. It's very often killed when hunting Stegosaurus and Kentrosaurus alone, by the herbivores' swinging tails. It is also at risk of being attacked when around Pachycephalosaurus and Styracosaurus, and especially Torosaurus and Triceratops, both of which can kill a raptor in one hit.

Behavior[]

Velociraptors are pack hunters, so it is recommended to place more than one of its kind in an attraction to keep them happy. It is better for them to hunt goats, due the fact that they might get hurt while hunting cows.

They can jump onto its prey if it is a large herbivore - attacking it from the sides and eventually killing it.

Velociraptors are very social and are quite hard to maintain in their enclosures when they are on a rampage, since they can climb and jump over fences. Velociraptors can also be considered prey items for larger predators, although they make a dangerous force for any herbivore (except Brachiosaurus and Ankylosaurus) when they are in large numbers.

Velociraptors can also attack Tyrannosaurus, but only if the Velociraptors are rampaging and Tyrannosaurus is sleeping or is sedated. In most cases, Velociraptors mainly are too scared of Tyrannosaurs and dare not attack them, but at rare times, a Velociraptor will successfully kill off a Tyrannosaurus.

Velociraptor can coexist peacefully with Dilophosaurus as long as there are plenty of goats.

Trivia[]

  • Velociraptor fearing Tyrannosaurus is actually accurate, as Velociraptor might have lived alongside different tyrannosauroids (material possibly belonging to Alectrosaurus, Tarbosaurus, and Zhuchengtyrannus), which is indeterminate (and Tyrannosaurus did have contemporaneous dromaeosaurids of its own, like Acheroraptor and Dakotaraptor).
  • The beginning cutscene of the game shows 2 Velociraptors with different colors than the in-game coloring that resembled the male Velociraptors from Jurassic Park 3 instead of the females
  • Velociraptor takes recoil damage when falling off after latching on prey.
  • A maximum of four Velociraptor individuals can be latched onto a target at the same time.
  • They are able to latch onto all medium and large herbivores as well as Kentrosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus and Styracosaurus, but are unable to attack Brachiosaurus and Ankylosaurus unless the game is modded.
  • They are also able to latch onto medium carnivores as well as Tyrannosaurus if they are sleeping or sedated.
  • They are the only small carnivore capable of rampaging unless the game is modded.
  • They are the only small carnivore with a 5 star rating.
