Raptors are the best beginner's carnivore. They are fast, agile, and can do moderate amounts of damage very quickly, especially in a pack. They can also punce on smaller prey, pinning them down while you finish them off. Similar to the Direwolf, the alpha of a pack will sound a call to the others, causing a buff to all the packmates. Unlike the Direwolf, however, the buff increases attack speed instead of power. This increased attack speed can actually allow you to deal more damage than the Direwolf. Although the name of this creature is just "raptor," it is clearly a Utahraptor, the largest raptor to ever live, growing to the size of an ice cream truck and weighing 1,000 pounds. This was a beast in real life, but not quite in ARK, as they get killed by seemingly everything. Overall, a worthy starter tame, but useless late game. Unless you want to breed them and give them pretty colors.
