I was so happy when I tamed my first raptor named Blue. Me and him did everything together until the day I took him on a boating trip. At that time, I was a noob and didn’t know other creatures could attack my tamed on a boat. Long story short, a sarco and baronynx came up and killed him. To any other noobs in the game, I strongly urge you not to bring your tamed on a boat.
Raptors on their on can take down some medium sized dinos, but in packs you can take down dinos like trikes and stegos, and if you have enough high level raptors, a therizino or a rex! Use the raptor for general defense before you get better tames like the baryonx and the carnotaurus!
This is the reason why you need to upgrade to a wooden shelter as soon as possible. I have a love hate relationship with raptors because they are incredibly useful and equally infuriating. Unlike the dilos that you will eventually be able to punch to death in less than a minute, For some reason raptors find a way to be irritating and dangerous in literally every game stage, and although you may get stronger, they will still be strong and fast enough to kill you if you let your guard down for a second. Raptors are a surprisingly versatile mount that can serve as both a scout and calvary unit. Their weight isn't great, but they are fast and they can definitely do some damage. If you focus on stamina, damage, and health you will get a great mount that can help you explore while being able to take down smaller threats, and allow you to escape large ones.
