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.

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

Bolas don't stop alphas up this so you know

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 bolas.

Haven't seen anyone Writing it so here I go..

You actually can roll out of his jumpy attack by pressing space in the right time.

RAPTORS DONT MESS AROUND SO… RUN

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).

Vote up if you think dododex should add the alpha versions of all the creatures that have alpha variants

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

They need to add the Tek raptor information

Why not add a chart for creatures that can be pounced by raptors? It would be helpful to know, i hope dododex applies this idea.

If you find a pack, just run. ‘But I’m high leve-‘ no, run. ‘I have a tame’ run, it will eat you, you again when you come to collect your stuff and your tame in-between spawns. DO NOT MESS.

Whenever u stumble accross one of these just run and try to run it any other creature like a trike diplo a parasaur it will be distracted, use that opputunity to run.do not engage head on unless u have a good armor and weapon

Survival tip: When you are approached by a raptor, find the nearest source of water that is a deep enough for you to be able to swim in. Make sure to swim far out enough just so that the raptor doesn't kill you and mega piranhas do not attack you. It is also safe to go on top of a rock when approached by a raptor and there is no water source nearby.

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

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.

Do not try to bola an alpha raptor!
