Category:Raptors



The raptor is a sharp-set and full thirsty serpent, and naught but the lifeblood of man or beast may slake his bitter thirst, as it is said coldness of the raptor's blood driveth him to murther.

Hunt or be Hunted
In holts and copses, raptors scheme and forge a plot atween them; one acteth the baith, and lureth their quarry on a chase over root and knot, and when their quarry waxeth weary, the second leapeth forth from hidden boughs and by great subtletyt of guile, slayeth the prey and drinketh his blood anon for to warm himself. Yet in spite of divers perils, he is oft for his silken skin of scales hunted and flayed, and his venomous claws be accounted good and profitable in the working of alchemie. Raptors are cold-blooded, serpent-like beasts that inhabit dense forest regions. They often hunt their prey in pairs, with one acting as a decoy and the other lying in wait until the prey has tired, then taking it unawares. Even though hunting the raptor can prove a lethal endeavor, the risk is often undertaken due to the combined value of the raptor's skin and venomous fangs, which fetch handsome prices from practitioners of alchemy.
