Raptors are large, aggressive [[wikipedia:theropods|theropods]] (this means, they stand upright on two large hind legs in a bird-like fashion). [[Troll]]s use a variety of raptors as a mount. Raptors are found in [[Durotar]], the [[Barrens]], [[Wailing Caverns]], [[Wetlands]], [[Arathi Highlands]], [[Un'Goro Crater]], [[Stranglethorn Vale]], and [[Dustwallow Marsh]]. Raptors seem to be very intelligent for beasts. They wear feathers and beads, and in the Barrens (where the smartest raptors are said to dwell) they have a [[settlement]] of mud huts decorated with bone ornaments called [[Raptor Grounds]].

Raptors come in many colors, from green-striped red to yellow-striped turquoise. A raptor’s tail extends straight out, held aloft by an intricate structure of bony supports, thus allowing its weight to be carried entirely by the back legs. Raptors weigh about 600 pounds and use a combination of speed, grasping forearms, large teeth, and hind legs with ripping talons. They hunt by running at prey, leaping, and ripping with their rear talons as they claw and bite. A raptor has a relatively large brain for a [[dinosaur]], and its pack hunts with cunning tactics.<ref>{{ref book |author= Bennie, Scott |coauthors= Richard Farrese, Bob Fitch |title= [[Horde Player's Guide]] |isbn= 9781588467720 |pages=217}}</ref>

The savage ferocity of [[Kalimdor]]'s raptors has enthralled the [[Darkspear trolls]] since their arrival. They consider a raptor to be the truest form of a hunter, and as such, the tamed [[Darkspear Raptor]] is their mount of choice. A tamed raptor is truly a fearsome beast, as a skilled [[troll]] is able to channel the reptilian steed's savagery to suit the rider's will. A tamed raptor is also one of the most auspicious signs of status amongst the trolls; many have died trying to tame these swift and deadly hunter beasts, and to possess one indicates great station.[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/mounts/raptors.html]

Some [[lizard]]s remarkable akin to the common raptor also have the ability to fly. The most common example of these are the flying mounts used by the [[blood elves]] and [[high elves]] known as [[dragonhawk]]s. The physiology of the current dragonhawks known to exist make them seem to be more akin to a [[snake]] or [[dragon]] instead of a raptor.

Raptor mounts at Sen'jin Village.

There are several types of creatures called raptors in the Warcraft universe.

Azeroth raptors

Raptors are large, aggressive theropods (this means, they stand upright on two large hind legs in a bird-like fashion). Trolls use a variety of raptors as a mount. Raptors are found in Durotar, the Barrens, Wailing Caverns, Wetlands, Arathi Highlands, Un'Goro Crater, Stranglethorn Vale, and Dustwallow Marsh. Raptors seem to be very intelligent for beasts. They wear feathers and beads, and in the Barrens (where the smartest raptors are said to dwell) they have a settlement of mud huts decorated with bone ornaments called Raptor Grounds.

Raptors come in many colors, from green-striped red to yellow-striped turquoise. A raptor’s tail extends straight out, held aloft by an intricate structure of bony supports, thus allowing its weight to be carried entirely by the back legs. Raptors weigh about 600 pounds and use a combination of speed, grasping forearms, large teeth, and hind legs with ripping talons. They hunt by running at prey, leaping, and ripping with their rear talons as they claw and bite. A raptor has a relatively large brain for a dinosaur, and its pack hunts with cunning tactics.[1]

The savage ferocity of Kalimdor's raptors has enthralled the Darkspear trolls since their arrival. They consider a raptor to be the truest form of a hunter, and as such, the tamed Ability mount raptor [Darkspear Raptor] is their mount of choice. A tamed raptor is truly a fearsome beast, as a skilled troll is able to channel the reptilian steed's savagery to suit the rider's will. A tamed raptor is also one of the most auspicious signs of status amongst the trolls; many have died trying to tame these swift and deadly hunter beasts, and to possess one indicates great station.[1]

The raptors of Raptor Ridge once joined forces with Rhonin in the struggle against Sintharia at Grim Batol.

Outland raptors

In World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, Outland is inhabited by another type of raptor found in the Netherstorm and Blade's Edge Mountains. Their coloration and body shape is quite different from the raptors of Azeroth, as they feature very bright coloration, glowing eyes, and sharp spikes ridging their spine and tail.

Avian raptors

The physiology of the current dragonhawks known to exist make them seem to be more akin to a snake or dragon instead of a raptor.
