Velociraptors, also known simply as raptors, were a genus of small dinosaur, smaller than a human. They lived in Mongolia on Earth during the Cretaceous period.
Biology[[edit] | [edit source]]
Better known in the popular imagination as raptors, Velociraptors were fast-moving predators. Their name, which meant "terrible claw", referred to the sickle-shaped claw on each foot. While these claws could be used to stab prey, they were more often used for climbing and for clinging onto larger creatures. Velociraptors preyed on larger herbivores like Tenontosaurus; the raptors leapt onto their prey and held on with their claws, while biting and tearing with their incredibly powerful jaws.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Fountain of Youth revived a Velociraptor, which the Tremas Master shrank and killed with the Tissue Compression Eliminator. However, the velociraptor then landed back in the Fountain and was revived again, albeit miniscule in size due to the Compression Eliminator's use on it.

When Solomon came aboard the Ark, he was cornered and attacked by three raptors, which badly mutilated his legs before he was saved by two robots. In the 24th century, when the Eleventh Doctor and his companions came aboard the Silurian Ark, John Riddell and Amy Pond kept several attacking raptors out of the Ark's control room, using electric tranquillisers to knock them out. One was on Brian's postcard's picture of Siluria. (TV: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship [+]Loading...["Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (TV story)"])
On the alternate Earth ruled by the Silurians, the Velociraptor was one of the creatures that the Silurians bought back from extinction. They were allowed to roam freely and were presumably used for hunting by the Silurians. (PROSE: Blood Heat [+]Loading...["Blood Heat (novel)"])
The Velociraptor was worth 250 points in the I-Spyder Book of Earth Creatures if it was spotted. The last one was held in the Museum of the Last Ones. (PROSE: The Last Dodo [+]Loading...["The Last Dodo (novel)"])
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Velociraptors from Dinosaurs on a Spaceship appear as enemies in the video game Doctor Who: Legacy.
