Fierce

These feathered, two-legged dinosaurs are smaller than you'd think — only slightly taller than a human's knee, but still frighteningly huge to a kitty. They're incredibly clever, can race along the ground at high speed, and have a large, sickle-shaped talon on the second toe of each foot.

Reactions

•Talons: Causes 2 Owies.
•Screech: Warns enemies.
•Clever Girl: The dino unexpectedly demonstrates understanding of technology or magic in the scene, letting it surprise, disrupt, or reach the kitties when that would otherwise be impossible.

Adventure ingredients

Pack Hunters: Velociraptors hunt in packs, using clever tactics to lure and surround prey — one raptor often plays bait, pretending to be alone or hurt, to draw a target into position for the rest to swarm. More-powerful Foes can use such packs as hunters or guards.
Asteroid Escape Route: These very clever dinos escaped the asteroid that wiped out all the others by opening magical portals to their own far-flung future — appearing right in the middle of the kitties' hometown!
