These are Arks thugs .. they don't care what you are doing whether it be minding your business or if your just looking to pet a dodo. They will come and they will kill you and your dodo.. Run as far as possible swim as far .carry a bola on you so you trap your friend and escape . @chief3alpha xbox

Roses are red, the earth has gravity, and if you are a new player, the raptor is a pain in the anal cavity

In a recent PC (and very soon to console) update these little jerks can now pounce on you...and they WILL. Every. Damn. Time. They knock you off mounts and on you to the ground while they gnaw on your bones...mocking you. They’ve knocked me off an argy and therozinos several times. They’re much more deadly now. Upvote so everyone knows about this new ability. PS...alpha raptors ALSO do this.

Always carry bolas.

I think the Dododex should add it so there is info about the alpha carnivores and the bosses and what tekgrams they drop

I was hunting one down in the forest. Lost sight of her. Suddenly she appeared behind me, I barely had time to say “clever girl” before she ripped me to shreds

Always carry around at least 1 bola. They can be death sentence for raptors. If you see a pack of them, stay away until you are confident you can take them on (have a decent pack of dinosaurs).

If you are new, start learning how to make bolas NOW!!! You are more likely to survive if you have some.

Bolas don't stop alphas up this so you know

These guys, for some reason, can't beat turtles. Several times I have seen a 1v1 between a level 30 raptor and level 10 turtle, turtle is barely standing but the raptor goes down regardless. So if you see ONE fighting a turtle, it's a lost cause.

A bola can end a regular raptor, but alphas are a different story.

Early levels things things can make your life miserable. Try to get it to agro a trike or lure it away from your base, even if it kills you.

If you are trying to get away have bolas if not you can lose it it water it swims slower than you

Can now dismount you from your tame and pin you down to make them more annoying, thanks for the new update ark devs :)))

Whenever u are anywhere carry bolas... U find a player bola... Raptor, bola...

Do not try to bola an alpha raptor!

Was trying to tame a 135 turtle, left to get food, and when I came back a raptor was killing it. After it killed my turtle, I was it's next victim. Only then I realized it was a level 150. I tried to knock it out, but it ran in the water and got killed?.

They might come out of absolutely nowhere but as long you have narco arrows you should be just fine and also have a bolas

Bolas don't work on alphas. Bear traps do though.

Easily killable wih a sword so keep that in mind :)
