Blue and the Indoraptor prototype


"It was just a few fanarts, how did it end up like this?"
—a cosmonaut shark-shaped fool

Blue and the Indoraptor prototype are terrible dinosaurs that I love from some terrible movies that I (mostly) love.

Story

Fight averted, friendship gained.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the sake of clarity I'll just continue to call them by the canon monikers 'Blue' and 'the Indoraptor' or 'the Indoraptor prototype' (or 'Indo' for short), despite their having other names among the raptors in this AU. And you can of course call them whatever you want, they're not my characters.

In comics their speech bubbles have been colour-coded as various shades of blue with a darker outline for Blue, and yellow with black or almost black for the Indoraptor prototype.

Skye


"She got so excited about killing things she tired herself out."
—Blue about sleeping baby Skye

Skye is a Velociraptor who appears in The Jurassic World Raptor AU. She is Blue and the Indoraptor prototype's first chick.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mischievous, optimistic, responsible when necessary.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skye has the build of a Jurassic Park/World Velociraptor, with pronated wrists, and bulkier head and more prehensile tail than dromaeosaurids are currently considered to have had. She has slit pupils in her yellow eyes.

Skye's plumage has a greenish grey base colour with a lighter underbelly, similar to her mother's colouring but slightly darker. She has darker grey spots on her body and stripes on her limbs, with the spots having a U or V shape as they are the tips of feathers. Her flight feathers are the same colour as the spots and stripes, on both her wings and her tail fan. Her wings have black dorsal coverts. The ventral coverts are the same green-grey as her base colour in both her juvenile and adult plumages, but in her adult plumage they also have blue specks on them. The feathers at the back of her head and neck are long, and raised into a crest. The top of her head and her brows are black. She has a little tassel-like beard of soft feathers under her chin.

Though her wings aren't exactly like the wings on Mesozoic dromaeosaurids due to her pronated wrists and some missing soft tissue at the joints, her primary flight feathers are attached to her second finger, making her wings mostly functional. The different wrist articulation does, however, contribute to the flight feathers of her wings wearing more quickly, as the wing doesn't fold closed as smoothly.

As a hatchling and for a while afterwards, Skye had only bare skin on most of her body, while her hands, feet, and most of her face is scaly. The fluffy down feathers she grew first were the same colour as she is now, without the darker markings of her wings, tail fan, and head crest.

Skye has blue stripe markings on her skin that are identical to her mother's. When she begun growing feathers, the markings were at first covered and not replicated in her down or her juvenile plumage of pennaceous feathers. Moulting into her adult plumage has made her blue markings visible again, now in feather form, though some of the markings on her skin are visible around her eyes.

She has blue, slightly iridescent feathers sparcely placed among the raised feathers at the back of her head and neck, though not among the black feathers, other than three blue feathers on each brow. Along each flank from the corners of her eyes to the tip of her tail is a stripe of blue feathers. On her flanks the blue stripe has a thin, white outline, and the stripe loops around her tail as blue tips on the body feathers bordering the tail fan, with a white outline only on the dorsal side there.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skye hatched approximately a year after the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. She is a product of parthenogenesis, and as such has no biological father. Her parents were packmates and friends at the time, and would not become a couple until a year later, but they raised her together and are both considered parents by her. Her lack of protective scales or insulating feathers slowed her gaining independence in her early months, but she quickly caught up in any life lessons requiring the ability to thermoregulate, as soon as she started growing her plumage.

When she was about a year old, she became a big sister - mom and dad were nice enough to make her four little siblings to dazzle with all the skills she'd had a year's headstart in gaining! Sometimes the little chicks could be a nuisance, and when they were hatchlings they were more babysitting charges than playmates, but as they grew, hanging out with them started to be more fun.

Being the only chick in her clutch in a small pack, with her only siblings a whole year younger, Skye spent a lot of her childhood without company of her own age.

Hatchling



Downy plumage



Juvenile plumage
 

When her pack crossed paths with Survivor's pack on the mainland, Skye was very happy to meet Tumult. The two girls quickly became good friends, and soon their bond developed into a courtship. After spending their subadult year making the most of not having all the responsibilities of an adult yet, getting to know each other well, and practicing their courtship dances for eventually confirming their bond, they are now happily a pair and parents of two little raptorlets, Tempest and Cloudburst.

Skye is fairly confident in her ability to handle danger, and in that at most situations she is the danger others should watch out for. She can pick up on her parents reacting to the presence of humans differently from how they would to any other non-raptor creature, however. While as individuals humans are not usually dangerous to raptors and can seem easy prey, Skye's parents have learned before she even hatched that due to humans being intelligent, social hunters like the raptors themselves and far more widespread, killing one is rarely without consequences from the rest. Though offspring of an animal imprinted on humans, Skye has been raised to avoid humans instead, like her parents now do as well to their best ability.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beta doesn't exist in this AU, and Skye is a separate character, though coincidentally they have some similarities. She was originally based on a mini toy figure of Blue, that I decided was the regular-sized Blue figure's daughter instead of there being two Blues on my shelf.

In comics her speech bubbles have been colour-coded as very light blue in her earlier appearances, and most recently as dark blue speech bubbles with a lighter blue outline, and white text.

 

Sunny


"Can I fight them?"
—Sunny, probably more than once in her life

"Who put Sunny in charge anyway?"
"She did."

Starlight and Dawn

Sunny is a young Indoraptor who doesn't look much like an Indoraptor.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Energetic, playful, fierce.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunny is a mostly scientifically accurate-looking dromaeosaurid despite her parentage. Her three-digit hands have supinated wrists with fully functional wings, she is fully feathered, and she is the only one in her family so far to have round pupils. She is fully bipedal. The first digit of her hands is partially opposable.

Her head is yellow, with a dark crest of longer feathers at the back of her head, and a dark stripe over each eye and down her neck. Her body is mostly dark brown, with a white underbelly, and circular yellow patches on her back and near the tip of her tail. The stripe starting at her eyes contines as yellow along her flanks. She has yellow flight feathers, and her wings have black dorsal and yellow ventral coverts. Her skin is grey, with blue markings having developed around her red eyes as she's grown.

She hatched with soft, light yellow down that had faint, brown stripes along the flanks. Over the next months as her natal down was replaced with a coat of thicker thermal down, she gained more pronounced markings in dark brown along her back and sides, and down the tops of her limbs.

With her juvenile plumage of pennaceous feathers her colours darkened a little and her markings became more defined.

As of her latest appearance she has been moulting into her adult plumage, but its finished look hasn't showed up in a picture yet.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunny is part of Blue and the Indoraptor prototype's second clutch, which are their first chicks that are both parents' biological offspring. She was the first in her clutch to hatch.

She and her sister Starlight have a similar, rowdy temperament and as a result have clashed a lot, but Starlight is probably also the sibling Sunny is closest with. For their early months they were pretty evenly matched in strength, but as Starlight quickly grew bigger than her, their confrontations became less physical and intense, seeing as they don't actually want to hurt each other. Her clutchmates all growing bigger than her for a while was also a good catalyst for rethinking her approach of considering herself to be at the top of a pecking order in her clutch by virtue of being the oldest. Sunny likes to take the lead at things she is involved in, but she has learned more diplomatic and considerate ways of doing so as she's grown, and isn't quite as much of a terror anymore in adulthood.

She is good friends with the Nublar pack's young raptors who were juveniles at the same time as her. Perhaps growing close with Soft steps in particular has played a part in softening her a little.

In comics her speech bubbles have been colour-coded as yellow with a brown outline, matching her plumage.

Starlight


"What? What are we doing? I wanna do that, too!"
—Starlight as soon as she heard there's something Sunny would like to do

Starlight is a young Indoraptor, and one of the first to hatch outside captivity.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Curious, adventurous, competitive.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starlight is black with a grey underbelly that doesn't reach her face, and a bright, blue-green stripe along each flank from the corners of her eyes to near the tip of her tail. She has four-digit hands with opposable thumbs and long, dark brown claws. She has osteoderms along her spine from the back of her head to the base of her tail, but doesn't have the additional spikes on them that her father has. She holds her sickle claws off the ground more often than not, and can walk both bipedally and quadrupedally. Her teeth are big and crooked, and mostly don't fit in her mouth, but she also has no lips to cover them. The shape of her head is deeper and wider than that of Jurassic Park/World Velociraptors and more like her father's. Her eyes are golden yellow.

She hatched without any feathers, and has scales on her skin, but has since grown a coat of single-filament protofeathers, like those found on some tyrannosauroids. Her feathers are black, with some grey on her chest. They grow between the scales she already has, currently partially covering her green stripe. As her plumage is not as thick as if she only had feathers, her shiny scales peek out from under them, reflecting light in small, twinkling spots. The feathers grow on most of her body, but her hands, lower legs, belly, and under the base of her tail remain featherless, and the osteoderms on her back poke out from under the fluff. Her face has sparse wisps of feathers, but is mostly scaly, except for some rather bushy sideburns along her jawline. The feathers at the back of her head are particularly long, forming a slightly raised crest.

She is currently an adult, but hasn't shown up in a picture at that age yet.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starlight is part of Blue and the Indoraptor prototype's second clutch, which are their first chicks that are both parents' biological offspring. She and her brother Dawn started and finished hatching at practically the same time, so it's hard to say which one of them is older. (Starlight says it's definitely her, though.)

She was the first in her clutch to catch prey (a fish).

She spent her early months feeling somewhat overshadowed by her older sister Sunny, who despite their only 2-hour age difference seemed to do everything better, or at least be very confident about that being the case. Though their quarrels were mostly play, a tinge of jealousy, perhaps on both sides, can't be denied.

Growing out of their baby days hasn't calmed them down much, but perhaps they have begun to see their competition as more of a chance to challenge themselves to do better, than as a need to do better than each other in particular.

Starlight likes investigating the world around her, both by exploring and by wondering about things that may not usually occur to a raptor to question.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In comics her speech bubbles have been colour-coded as turquoise matching her stripe with a black outline in her earlier appearances, and most lately as the colours reversed and her dialogue text in white.

Scaly baby



Fluffy juvenile
 

 

Dawn


"I'd be completely nice!"
—Dawn, probably truthfully

Dawn is a young Indoraptor, and one of the first to hatch outside captivity.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Calm, friendly, introvert.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dawn looks mostly like a Jurassic Park/World Velociraptor, but he has bigger arms and four-digit hands with opposable thumbs. He is bipedal, but can move quadrupedally if necessary.

Like his mother, Dawn is green-grey with a lighter, more cream-coloured underbelly, and has a blue stripe along each flank starting at the corners of his eyes. His blue stripes don't have a white outline. The top of his head and snout, and along his spine between the blue stripes is a darker green-grey than his base colour. He has sparse horizontal stripes on his body in dark green-grey. The insides of his palms are the same lighter colour as his underbelly. He also has black markings: a row of vertical stripes along his spine; black tip of the tail; and a "mask" over his eyes that connects at and covers the tip of his snout, and tapers towards the back of his head. His markings have darkened and grown since his hatching.

His eyes are orange-red with a yellow rim around the pupil.

He has grown the same kind of bumps Blue has on her head at the back of his head, on his lower back, and along the ulna of each arm. As he's gotten older those bumps have started developing into quills. The quills are so far a solid black colour.

He is currently an adult, but hasn't shown up in a picture at that age yet.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dawn is part of Blue and the Indoraptor prototype's second clutch, which are their first chicks that are both parents' biological offspring. He and his sister Starlight started and finished hatching at practically the same time, so it's hard to say which one of them is older (Starlight says it's her. Dawn doesn't really care all that much).

Dawn gets along well with all of his siblings - with his sisters sometimes by staying out of their way, which he does for more reasons than just to avoid trouble. He makes friends easily and likes company, but is also happy to spend time just by himself. He is likely to be found a little outside the group, either observing or occupied with something completely unrelated to what the others are doing, and welcoming any siblings and friends who are done playing and want a cuddle and a nap instead.

In comics his speech bubbles have been colour-coded as very light yellow with a cyan outline.

Juvenile
 

 

Dusk


"The monster isn't going to eat me?"
"No, it's dead."
"Then... can I eat the monster?"

—Dusk being comforted by his father after an encounter with
a scary beast

Dusk is Blue and the Indoraptor prototype's youngest chick.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A little shy, but tenacious.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dusk mostly has the body structure of a Jurassic Park/World Velociraptor, and is fully bipedal. His forelimbs have supinated wrists and three digits, the first of which is partially opposable. The shape of his head is a little deeper and wider than that of JP/WVelociraptors. His teeth are slightly crooked, but not very big, though a few poke out from between his lips. His eyes are yellow.

Dusk is grey with black markings on the tips of his limbs and tail, along his back and at the back of his head, and as large spots on his sides. When he hatched, these colours and markings could be seen on his skin, which only had a few patches of dark down feathers covering it. The down remained sparse for several months, growing mostly along his back, at the back of his head, around the tip of his tail, and on his thighs and upper arms, before finally becoming more even and spreading to cover most of his body.

More recently he has grown his juvenile plumage of pennaceous feathers, including fully functional wings. The dark markings on his feathers now roughly match those on his skin. He has dark grey flight feathers, and his wings have black coverts on both sides. The dorsal coverts have lighter grey specks on them.  He has a slight crest of raised feathers at the back of his head, and a little tassel-like beard of soft feathers under his chin.

On his skin he has a bright stripe along each side that starts out golden yellow near his eyes, changes to light orange on his neck, to pink on his flanks, purple at the base of his tail, and blue just before ending halfway down his tail. This marking has not transferred to his juvenile plumage, and is currently covered under the feathers, perhaps to make a reappearance when he's older.

He has inherited the Indominus rex's camoflaging ability from his father. He can only use it on the very tip of his muzzle, though.

He is currently an adult, but hasn't shown up in a picture at that age yet.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dusk is part of Blue and the Indoraptor prototype's second clutch, which are their first chicks that are both parents' biological offspring. He hatched last and a little smaller than his siblings, and it took him over a year to catch up to them in size.

He also took longer than his siblings to start communicating with vocalizations, and still isn't very talkative, but those who know him and pay attention understand him just fine. He appreciates when they remember as they talk to him that he is sensitive to and sometimes stressed out by loud sounds.

He considers it a wise approach to be wary of most things bigger than him, and of anything unexpected, but the full coat of feathers seems to have helped give him a bit more confidence, making him less dependent on his parents for protection from the elements. No longer being the smallest one in the pack and having smaller friends and family members to protect might also play a part.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In comics his speech bubbles have been colour-coded as pink with a dark purple outline. He speaks quietly, so his dialogue is usually in lowercase.

Survivor


"A parent isn't here to feed them, but that the other infant is fed feels like the correct outcome, and since she can without having to go hungry herself, she makes it happen."
Last Queens of Thieves, chapter 4

Survivor is a Velociraptor who grew up on Isla Nublar in the aftermath of the fall of Jurassic Park. She is seen hatching in the first Jurassic Park movie.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Determined and caring, a mother hen ever since she was a baby herself.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Survivor has colouring and patterns typical of the first variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptors; shades of brown with darker stripes and a lighter underbelly. The top of her head is dark, with the colour reaching over her snout and around her eyes. Many of her stripes have a slight crescent moon shape. Her brown colouring has a very faint purple tint. Her eyes are yellow.

At an older age she gains several scars: two short, vertical scars over her mouth on the left side of her head; a small scar under her right eye; slash scars across the front of both of her legs; and scars from some kind of injury to her tail.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Survivor is one of the last Velociraptors to have hatched at the laboratory in the Jurassic Park Visitor Center, and the last Velociraptor to have hatched there with humans present.

While as a lab-made dinosaur she was born without biological parents, she and the three other hatchlings in the incubator with her were briefly adopted and cared for by The Big One and one of her packmates, but the hatchlings soon had to start fending for themselves anyway after the death of their adoptive parents. Though a newborn herself, Survivor did her best to look after her small, young pack, and managed to keep them alive for three months by themselves, until they ran into Leader and were adopted into her pack.

Survivor grew up to be respected and looked up to among the young raptors she spent her childhood with, even when she was no longer forced by circumstances to take responsibillity for their safety, and she embraced this role she found herself suited for. As an adult she became the head of the southern pack formed by these young raptors, and remained so for many years, with her childhood friend Squeak becoming her mate. They made their nest in the park's original Velociraptor paddock.

June 11, 1993

After humans returned to the island to start building Jurassic World, and Leader was killed in a confrontation with them, the remaining raptors merged their two packs into one, with Survivor becoming the new head of the whole raptor family. They carefully hid from the humans, and did their best to persevere in secret through the new park's building and ten-year run. Though many pack members were lost due to being discovered by humans, hunting injuries, and even starvation in their new way of life as practically ghosts, under her care some lived to escape as stowaways to the mainland, when Mount Sibo's eruption made the island uninhabitable.

Aboard the boat they hid on to hitch a ride to the mainland, Survivor and the others found out there had been a raptor on the island they hadn't known about, and spent the journey wondering what had happened to Blue to cause her to sound hurt and whether they would be able to help her. The pack had to make their escape without this new raptor, but hoping Blue would heal from her injuries and find her way out of captivity as well, Survivor never gave up hope they would be able to meet her one day. Two and a half years later, this wish finally came true. Delighted to find her alive and well, Survivor welcomed Blue and her pack to share their territory, effectively merging the two packs.

After a brief dominance display between the two pack matriarchs to get to know each other and test each other's competence, both were impressed with each other's neither backing down from nor escalating the confrontation and the good judgement on handling conflicts it represents. Now mutually convinced of both packs having been in capable hands, Survivor and Blue each remain the heads of their respective families, similarly to Survivor's relationship with Leader when they each had their own pack but lived as one community.

In comics her speech bubbles have been colour-coded as light yellow with a brown outline.

 

Squeak


"She gives Squeak a firm snap for wandering off without telling anyone. Immediately, she receives a snap in return, which she's pretty sure is not supposed to happen."
Survivor's first one-on-one interaction with her, Last Queens of Thieves, chapter 4

Squeak is a Velociraptor who grew up on Isla Nublar in the aftermath of the fall of Jurassic Park, and one of the raptors who eventually migrated to the mainland.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assertive, direct.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squeak has colouring and patterns typical of the first variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptors; shades of brown with darker stripes and a lighter underbelly. The top of her head is dark, with the colour reaching over her snout and around her eyes, but the edges of her brows are light. Her brown colouring has a very faint yellow tint. Her eyes are green.

She has three prominent scars that she gained as a hatchling. There are two scratchmarks on her left flank, mostly vertical but tilted a little towards the front of her body. She has a long and a bit jagged scar down her face - near the middle but left of her nostrils - which splits a gap in her upper lip but doesn't reach her lower lip.
Later injuries on her right shoulder and leg, and on her tail have also left scars.

Her left leg is functional but permanently weakened, from having broken when she was a hatchling and healed without a splint. It looks a little bent at mid-shin, and has less developed musculature. At an older age she often avoids putting weight on it while standing, some times more subtly than others.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squeak is the last Velociraptor to have hatched at the laboratory in the Jurassic Park Visitor Center.

She had a rough start on life, becoming orphaned and injured on her first day out of the egg, with only other hatchlings to help her along. She made it through the worst anyway and healed, protected and fed by her three young packmates whose lives she had bled to save, and was adopted by Leader into her pack when she and the chicks she had hatched with where three months old.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protective, prudent.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leader is brown with darker brown stripes and a lighter brown underbelly. Her face has only a few markings. Her eyes are green.

She has a long, relatively neat-edged scar diagonally across the left side of her face, going over her eye and reaching down to the bottom of her jaw. Her left eye is cloudier and has limited vision.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leader hatched at the Jurassic Park laboratory on Isla Sorna. She spent her growing years in an enclosure with several other raptors her age, two of them being Swiftdive and Treeclimber. Though the young raptors formed genuine bonds with each other, they grew up to be a pack most of all defined by their desire to escape and their cooperated efforts to do so. Leader's original name reflects her place in that pack, as the one to come up with escape plans.

In June 1993, Leader and four other young adult raptors - Swiftdive, Treeclimber, Striker, and Watchful - were moved to Isla Nublar with the intention of introducing them to the park's unexpectedly depleted Velociraptor pack. Until that could be safely arranged, they were kept in Quarantine Pens. With the head of their old pack not being with them, Leader took charge of the group, first with the intention of it being temporary, but accepting the position as permanent when it became clear they were not going to be able to reunite with the rest of the pack. During the incident, the raptors managed to escape from their pens out into the park. After exploring for a while they attacked a Parasaurolophus herd, killing one of its members, before going after the humans they also found at the Parasaurolophus enclosure.

One of the humans managed to kill one of the raptors and injure Leader, giving her the distinct scar over her eye. Though Leader killed him soon after, the damage was done, and after leaving the power plant the humans had retreated to, the raptors found they had lost both Watchful and Striker - one to the humans, the other to the Tyrannosaurus. Despite this, the refuge and new home that the remaining raptors found ended up being the Tyrannosaurus paddock, when it became clear the larger carnivore did not want to return to her old enclosure now that she had a choice. There, Leader, Swiftdive, and Treeclimber built their nest, and raised many little raptors together as a "pair" bond of three. Soon before their first offspring hatched, Leader ran into four orphaned raptor chicks - Survivor, Dare, Dash, and Squeak - and took them in as children of her pack.

Sadly, three of the chicks from her first clutch did not live to adulthood. Mourning their recent loss made it difficult for her to focus on dealing with humans suddenly returning to the island, but she kept the rest of her family safe, patiently waiting and having them all hide in their nest until the humans had left.

After the establishing of the southern pack headed by Survivor, she remained in contact and cooperation with the younger adults, and they would often hunt together and visit each other. During the years that followed, she enjoyed a relatively peaceful period in her life, caring for her pack, raising more chicks, helping look after her grandchildren, and doing her best to carve out a niche for her species in the island's ecosystem.

When humans returned to the island a second time, in greater numbers and apparently to stay, Leader still tried to avoid going near them, but couldn't stave off the confrontation forever. She was killed defending a group of her grown-up chicks. Though she could not save them all, it's due to her holding off the humans that Whirlwind survived the incident.

 

Swiftdive


Swiftdive is a Velociraptor, who lived on Isla Nublar after the fall of Jurassic Park. She and her packmates appear in Jurassic Park: The Game.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhat high-strung, which serves her well as a hunter with quick reflexes. Prone to bouts of nervous and restless behavior when left without a constructive outlet for her energy. Dislikes conflict but has a knack for causing it.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swiftdive has colouring and patterns typical of the first variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptors; shades of brown with darker stripes and a lighter underbelly. Her brown colouring has a very faint yellow tint. Her eyes are green.

She has a dark patch over each eye. On the right side, the patch continues as a vertical stripe from under her eye to almost touching her mouth.

During the incident, the raptors managed to escape from their pens out into the park. After exploring for a while they attacked a Parasaurolophus herd, killing one of its members, before going after the humans they also found at the Parasaurolophus enclosure. After failing to catch most of the humans and suffering the loss of two packmates and vision in one of Leader's eyes, the raptors sought out a refuge and new home in the park's Tyrannosaurus paddock, finding its former resident uninterested in returning to it.

Over the next months the three raptors got used to life outside captivity, and grew closer to each other, eventually having two clutches of eggs. When those eggs were close to hatching, they also adopted four three-month-old raptor chicks Leader found orphaned in the woods.

After many years of relatively peaceful life, Swiftdive was killed in a confrontation with humans, who had come to the island to begin building Jurassic World.

 

Treeclimber


Treeclimber is a Velociraptor, who lived on Isla Nublar after the fall of Jurassic Park. He and his packmates appear in Jurassic Park: The Game.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diplomatic, loyal.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Treeclimber is striped with a lighter underbelly, typical of the first variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptors. He grew up with a colouration of shades of brown, but soon after reaching adulthood his scales changed to a different colour palette, while keeping the same patterns. His base colour is orange, with dark stripes, and a white underbelly. His eyes are green like they have been since he hatched.

His most distinguishing feature is three large, orange spots on his otherwise white lower lip, near each corner of the mouth.

Sometime between 2002 and 2018

Over the next months the three raptors got used to life outside captivity, and grew closer to each other, beginning to show interest in nesting. This prompted a change in Treeclimber's biology made possible by the frog DNA used in his creation, and the trio became able to produce chicks. After short-lived confusion about how to pair up in a group of an odd number, the three of them became a "pair" bond of three. With two clutches they incubated, and four chicks Leader found orphaned in the woods and adopted into the pack, the three young adults' first nesting season was challenging. While three chicks sadly did not make it to adulthood, most of their children got to grow up and thrive despite the difficulties.

After many years of relatively peaceful life, the humans' return to the island to begin building Jurassic World led to confrontation between them and the raptors, and both Leader and Swiftdive were killed, along with several of their children. Under the guidance of Survivor, the pack hid and clung to life in the remote, unbuilt parts of the island, and some of them did eventually get to escape the island to the mainland during the eruption of Mount Sibo. Treeclimber did not live to see that, but he can be assumed to have on his part helped ensure that his remaining packmates could.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His death is not explicitly mentioned in Last Queens of Thieves, but Survivor is said to be the oldest Velociraptor alive at the time, and Treeclimber would be about three years older than her.

 

Dare


Dare is a Velociraptor who grew up on Isla Nublar in the aftermath of the fall of Jurassic Park.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inquisitive, brave.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dare is striped with a lighter underbelly, typical of the first variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptors. He grew up with a colouration of shades of brown, but a few years into adulthood his scales changed to a different colour palette, while keeping the same patterns. His base colour is orange, with dark stripes, and a white underbelly. His eyes are yellow like they have been since he hatched.

Distinguishing features about his patterns include a dark tip of the snout including the chin, and the top of his head being dark but his brows being orange instead. The tip of his tail is also orange.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dare is one of the last Velociraptors to have hatched at the laboratory in the Jurassic Park Visitor Center. Though born without biological parents, he and the three other hatchlings in the incubator with him were briefly adopted and cared for by The Big One and one of her packmates, but they soon had to start fending for themselves anyway after the death of their adoptive parents. After three months on their own, they were adopted into Leader's pack after running into her on a hunt.

Dare grew up with the other chicks in the pack. He remained especially close to his fellow lab hatchling Dash, and the two of them became a couple a few years after reaching adulthood. This development also prompted a change in his biology made possible by the frog DNA used in his creation, enabling the pair to produce chicks.

Along with Finder, Dare is his pack's primary scout.

Dash-and-slash


Dash-and-slash is a Velociraptor who grew up on Isla Nublar in the aftermath of the fall of Jurassic Park. She is often called "Dash" for short.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Impulsive, cheeky.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dash has colouring and patterns typical of the first variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptors; shades of brown with darker stripes and a lighter underbelly. Her brown colouring has a faint red tint. Her eyes are green.

The most distinctive feature of her patterns is her underbelly colour covering her whole snout, a little past the nostrils. Her eyes are surrounded by her base colour, but have a dark line under them, connected to the dark at the top of her head at the inner corner.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dash is one of the last Velociraptors to have hatched at the laboratory in the Jurassic Park Visitor Center. Though born without biological parents, she and the three other hatchlings in the incubator with her were briefly adopted and cared for by The Big One and one of her packmates, but they soon had to start fending for themselves anyway after the death of their adoptive parents. After three months on their own, they were adopted into Leader's pack after running into her on a hunt.

Dash is fun to be around even if she doesn't always think things through very far. Whirlwind and Triptail are some of her favorite friends to make questionable decisions with.

In addition, she has remained especially close to her fellow lab hatchling Dare, and the two of them became a couple a few years after reaching adulthood.

Shredder


Shredder is a Velociraptor who grew up on Isla Nublar after the fall of Jurassic Park. She is a descendant of the raptors who appear in Jurassic Park: The Game.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Confident, easy-going, cheerful. Her name refers to her high level of skill at the most violent part of hunting, but towards her packmates she is anything but aggressive.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shredder is brown with darker, reddish brown stripes and a lighter brown underbelly. Most of her face is without markings; she just has dark blotches around her eyes and a few stripes at the back of her head. She has some of her underbelly colour on her jaw, but none on her chin or above her mouth. Her eyes are red.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shredder is the oldest in Leader's first clutch.

She hatched in a nest with three loving parents; Leader and Treeclimber are her biological parents, but their mate Swiftdive is just as much parent to her. She grew up with eight siblings and four friends who were part of the pack despite not being siblings, and has never had to be alone and uncared for, though losing three of her clutchmate siblings at a year old took away a lot of the illusion of perpetual safety.

Grappleclaws


Grappleclaws is a Velociraptor who grew up on Isla Nublar after the fall of Jurassic Park. He is a descendant of the raptors who appear in Jurassic Park: The Game.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kind, easy-going, fearless. His name refers to his high level of skill at the most violent part of hunting, but towards his packmates he is anything but aggressive.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grappleclaws is mostly yellow, with a broad stripe of orange along each flank from his snout to the base of his tail and down each thigh. His forelimbs are mostly orange. He has a white underbelly and dark stripes that are similar to other individuals of the first variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptors. His tail has a pattern of bands around the tail with a large spot between each band on both sides, and the tip of his tail is dark.

He has dark splotch patterns around his eyes. His eyes are a pinkish red with a thin yellow rim around the pupil.

He acquires several scars over the course of his adult life, probably the most distinct of them being a long slash wound diagonally across the middle of his back, with a few smaller parallel scars around it.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grappleclaws hatched in a nest with three loving parents; Leader and Treeclimber are his biological parents, but their mate Swiftdive is just as much parent to him. He grew up with eight siblings and four friends who were part of the pack despite not being siblings, and has never had to be alone and uncared for, though losing three of his clutchmate siblings at a year old took away a lot of the illusion of perpetual safety.

He is the biological father of Survivor's chicks, but the two of them are not a pair and see each other as packmates and friends. He, Survivor, her mate Squeak, and Finder, who is the biological father of Squeak's chicks, all raised their young together, with the help of the rest of their packmates, and are all happy with the arrangement.

He is one of the Velociraptors who lived to migrate to the mainland during Mount Sibo's eruption, and is spending his old age still hunting for the pack and making friends, and looking after all the little raptorlets in the family.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His colouring and patterns are based on the Tribe C Velociraptors from Jurassic Park: Trespasser, with fewer markings on his face as a resemblance to his mother. I consider this a colour morph rather than a subspecies.

 

Whirlwind


Whirlwind is a Velociraptor who grew up on Isla Nublar after the fall of Jurassic Park. She is a descendant of the raptors who appear in Jurassic Park: The Game.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stubborn, likes attention.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whirlwind has patterns in shades of brown, with a lighter brown underbelly. Her eyes are a bluish green with a lighter green rim around the pupil. Her claws are a very light brown.

Unlike her siblings, she does not have stripes. Her face and body have large splotches of darker brown, most of them outlined with a brown still slightly darker than that.

At some point in her adulthood she gains three horizontal scars on her snout near her mouth, two on the left side and one on the right (perhaps a result of sticking her face somewhere hazardous in search for food), and some scarring near her left shoulder.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whirlwind was the first of Leader, Swiftdive, and Treeclimber's offspring to hatch, in the nest they established in Jurassic Park's old Tyrannosaurus paddock, months after humans had abandoned the island. Her biological parents are Swiftdive and Treeclimber, but their mate Leader is just as much parent to her.

Along with her sister Triptail, Whirlwind is one of her pack's fastest runners. In her own opinion at least, she is the fastest one.

Having made it through the pack's long period of hiding from humans while both inhabited Isla Nublar again, Whirlwind is one of the Velociraptors who migrated to the mainland to escape Mount Sibo's eruption. If age has slowed her down at all, she's unlikely to admit it.

While she has never settled down with a nesting mate (a choice probably influenced by most of her generation consisting of her siblings, but she doesn't seem too dissatisfied about it), rumor (which all involved will be happy to confirm if asked) has it that she has at some point courted in a more casual manner each of the four raptors in her generation who had hatched outside the pack.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her patterns are based on the Tribe B Velociraptors from Jurassic Park: Trespasser. The less flashy colours are due to her being female, while the raptors in the game are presumably all male. I consider this a colour morph rather than a subspecies.

 

Triptail


Triptail is a Velociraptor who grew up on Isla Nublar after the fall of Jurassic Park. She is a descendant of the raptors who appear in Jurassic Park: The Game.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Very social even by Jurassic Park Velociraptor standards, and likes to be included, even when she doesn't always know what's going on and is easily distracted from it.

When it's time to be serious she is among the first to comfort a sad packmate or to understand to give them space until they're ready to seek comforting.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triptail has colouring and patterns typical of the first variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptors; shades of brown with darker stripes and a lighter underbelly. Her eyes are green.

Her most distinctive feature is a stripe of her underbelly colour going over the top of her snout, and a "mustache" of her stripe colour. The tip of her tail is dark.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triptail hatched in the raptor nest established in Jurassic Park's old Tyrannosaurus paddock, months after humans had abandoned the island. Her biological parents are Swiftdive and Treeclimber, but their mate Leader is just as much parent to her.

Along with her sister Whirlwind, Triptail is one of her pack's fastest runners. She makes for an especially unpredictable prey chaser, as she doesn't always know exactly which way she is going to turn next, herself, making her moves impossible to anticipate. Though there are risks to this, her packmates know to take it into consideration, and she is an asset to any hunting team she is part of. One of her memorable feats is turning a misstep into a twirl that tripped up the prey with her tail.

She and Shredder are responsible for the discovery of swimming as a fun pastime among the raptors she grew up with. Being good at this skill has proven to be a life-saving ability on several occasions as well, including when the remaining pack had to make a quick getaway from the boat they hitched a ride on to the mainland.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her occasional trouble with coordination and focus is likely a neurological condition.

 

Finder


Finder is a Velociraptor who grew up on Isla Nublar after the fall of Jurassic Park. He is a descendant of the raptors who appear in Jurassic Park: The Game.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Considerate, observant.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finder has colouring and patterns typical of the first variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptors; orange base colour, dark stripes, and a white underbelly. His eyes are yellow.

As his most distinctive feature, both of his eyes have dark circles around them, open in the middle so directly around his eye is his base colour. On both sides the circles connect to a vertical stripe that continues from under the ring to the bottom of his jaw.

While having dark along the back in a lengthwise stripe that the vertical stripes connect to is common for raptors of this version, Finder's patterns don't include that, and the vertical stripes just cross over his back to the other side of the body. The backs of his hands are dark entirely rather than striped. The tip of his tail is orange.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finder hatched the day after his clutchmate sisters Whirlwind and Triptail did, in the raptor nest established in Jurassic Park's old Tyrannosaurus paddock, months after humans had abandoned the island. His biological parents are Swiftdive and Treeclimber, but their mate Leader is just as much parent to him.

He is the biological father of Squeak's chicks, but the two of them are not a pair and see each other as packmates and friends. He, Squeak, her mate Survivor, and Grappleclaws, who is the biological father of Survivor's chicks, all raised their young together, with the help of the rest of their packmates, and are all happy with the arrangement.

Elusive has colouring and patterns typical of the first variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptors; orange base colour, dark stripes, and a white underbelly. His eyes are green.

He looks the most like his father out of his siblings, but lacks the distinctive lower lip markings.

He has several large spots of the white underbelly colour on his limbs, especially on the left thigh, and also low on his right flank. The top of his head and his brows are dark.

Tree-stain paws


Tree-stain paws is one of Survivor's grown-up chicks, and mother of Tumult, Daydreamer, and Soft steps. She is one of the raptors who migrated to the mainland, and among the first in her pack to have met their new neighbors.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creative, with a generous helping of wanderlust.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tree-stain paws is otherwise a typical female Jurassic Park raptor with stripes in shades of brown, but she has inherited the noticeably yellow tint of her base colour from her biological father and his unusual colour morph. In terms of markings, her most distinguishing feature is that her head is almost fully dark, with just the lower jaw being in her base colour. Her light underbelly colour doesn't extend to her neck or face. Her eyes are yellow.

She has a patch of slash wound scars on her right side, one reaching up to her neck. While living on Isla Nublar, she often has on her, especially on her limbs, yellow-orange tree resin stains, from which she gets her name. After leaving the island and those particular trees, the stains become a less frequent accessory.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tree-stain paws is one of the chicks Survivor had with Grappleclaws, after founding the southern pack with her mate Squeak and some other raptors from their generation. She grew up doted on by her two mothers, her biological father, the biological father of her other mother's chicks, and every adult in both her pack and in her grandparents' pack.

She spent her early adult years, too, in a relatively peaceful environment. The former Jurassic Park T. rex paddock, and by then also the original Velociraptor paddock, were her species' domain, and with a sizeable raptor population around her, there was not much she needed to fear as long as she didn't stray too far from home.
Which isn't to say she didn't often do exactly that.

One of her favorite look-out spots when hunting, and sometimes when just wanting to look around and wonder about the vast water that surrounded their island and what might be on the other side of it, was a group of tall trees at the coast. Climbing up there would often leave her stained with tree resin and smelling of it. She soon learned this side-effect could be made into a useful hunting tool, with the unthreatening tree resin smell covering her own scent from prey.

Her safe surroundings and her adventurous nature eventually led to carelessness, and an accident she still bears scars from. In the care and protection of her pack, however, she was able to recover from her wounds.

She was six years old when the humans returned to the island for the building of Jurassic World. She had never seen humans before, and though initially curious about them, she soon found them to be creatures of nightmare when several members of her family went missing and were eventually found to have been killed by them. After a long and stressful period in her life, hiding on an island with an active theme-park teeming with humans, never knowing when her next meal would be since it had to be caught without humans noticing, finally the humans left and the pack came out of hiding. Not long after, the volcano on the island became active, and the island unhabitable. The pack managed to escape to the mainland by hiding on a boat.

A year into her new life on the mainland, at twenty-three years old, she had her first chick, whom she named Tumult as a wish for this new member of the pack to be a sign of changing times and strong enough to withstand the disturbance of established order that their presence in their new environment would bring. A year later, she and her mate Serene had another clutch, hatching Tumult two little siblings, Daydreamer and Soft steps.

While out on a hunt one day, teaching her by then eighteen-month-old firstborn the many techniques of coordinated trapping of large prey, Tree-stain paws became one of the first raptors in her pack to encounter their new neighbors when the group suddenly ran into the Indoraptor prototype, who was scouting out a new home for the pack he and Blue had established. Recognizing Blue's scent as that of the raptor they had sensed while smuggling themselves off Isla Nublar, her pack was happy to find out that the raptor they wished they could have helped back then was alive and well. The two packs agreed to share the territory, and it didn't take long for them to merge into one community. Tree-stain paws' children have found friends in the new chicks added to the pack, as she has in their parents, and Tumult's friendship with their oldest chick, Skye, soon even developed into a courtship.

Occasionally Tree-stain paws' and her mate's friendship with their new packmates has developed in that direction, too, and the four of them have grown very close.

With Tumult and Skye's first clutch having hatched, Tree-stain paws is happy to have become a grandmother.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Meripihka", the name I like to call her out-of-universe, is the word for amber in my first language, Finnish, and its literal translation is "sea resin". The raptors in-universe just call her "Tree-stain paws", though, because they have no idea what amber is or why it has an important enough role in the Jurassic Park franchise for someone to make references to it in naming a kind of amber-coloured dinosaur.

Her appearance is based on the yellow and brown JW Battle Damage raptor figure.

In comics her speech bubbles have been colour-coded as light yellow with a dark blue outline.

 

Tumult


"Ooh, I always tear the head off, too! We have so much in common!"
—Tumult making friends with Skye

"Didn't you tell any adults?"
"We can handle this."

Daydreamer and Tumult as juveniles, stalking a potential threat

Tumult is the first member of the Jurassic Park Velociraptor pack to have hatched on the mainland.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brash, but not unkind. Likes investigating and trying new things, prefers to find out for herself whether she should have.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like many other female Velociraptors of the same version as her, Tumult has a colour palette of shades of brown, stripe patterns, and a lighter underbelly. Her markings have a reddish tint to them, which appears more purple in some lightings. She has dark around her eyes and on the top of her head, and other than that the only markings on her face are a few scattered spots. The tip of her tail is dark. Her eyes are orange.

In her earlier appearances her scales' colours were lighter and more muted, as she gradually changed from a unisex baby colouring to her adult one, but the shape of her markings has remained the same.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After remaining hidden during the building of Jurassic World and the years the park was operational, what was left of Survivor's pack traveled to the mainland as stowaways, when the island they had only just begun to refamiliarize themselves with became uninhabitable due to the eruption of Mt. Sibo. They reached their new homeland miraculously undetected.

It took some time for the pack to get used to life with more space and freedom of movement again, a luxury some of the younger generation had barely gotten to experience before they had had to go into hiding. Slowly, health of the stressed and starving pack members began to improve.

Eventually they were ready to nest again, for the first time in over a decade. A year after their arrival on the mainland, Survivor's daughter Tree-stain paws and Dash and Dare's son Serene had a clutch of eggs. Though the clutch may have had more eggs in it than one, Tumult is the only one who hatched.

She spent her first year as the pack's doted-on only child, with attention and care of all the adults, but no playmates her own age.

Juvenile colouring
 

The next nesting season her parents had a new clutch incubating, but sadly it was lost when it was almost ready to hatch. Her uncles Singer and Beetlebiter had better luck, though, and welcomed into the world Tumult's cousin, Ruckus, who like Tumult was the only hatchling in her clutch. Despite their age difference, the two chicks got along well, and Tumult was happy to be a big sister of a kind. Tumult's parents even had a new clutch later in the season, hatching Daydreamer and Soft steps, so Tumult now had three new family members to play with.

Tumult sometimes found babysitting her younger siblings and cousin a little overwhelming, and had to keep reminding herself that they're babies and not always suited for the kind of play and long expeditions she liked. Since her pack had several adults in addition to her parents, she didn't need to take on as much responsibility for the younger chicks as she might in a smaller pack, but as much as she loves them, she still wished for a friend of her own age.

She considers one of the best days of her life so far the one on which her parents and grandmothers found the lone raptor from the island they grew up on, whom they had been looking for since before Tumult hatched, and invited that raptor and her pack to live with them. More importantly, it was the day she met Skye.

The two young raptors quickly became close friends, and from there it didn't take long for their relationship to deepen into a courtship. Both still being subadults, they took their time practicing their courting rituals and not feeling inclined to participate in the following nesting season. They knew all along that it's each other they'd choose, but the dances and gift exchanges of mate selection felt like an important step, and were a good way of getting to know each other even better and building a strong and harmonious bond.

She and Skye are now happily a pair and parents of two little raptorlets, Tempest and Cloudburst.

Ruckus


"We can kill it forever!"
—Ruckus describing the benefits of a practice prey toy

Ruckus is a descendant of Velociraptors born around the time of the original Jurassic Park.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Playful and likes to take risks, but is conscious about not making others take any on her behalf. She is often protective of the younger chicks in her pack, and has sometimes done foolish things trying to measure up to the older ones.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruckus has stripe patterns and a lighter underbelly in shades of brown. In her latest appearance in a picture her colours are still duller and lighter than an adult female Velociraptor of her version would have.

She has a large, dark patch on her chin. On the left side of her face she has a dark spot around the eye, with a vertical stripe under it that continues past the mouth.

Her eyes are green.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruckus hatched as the only one in her clutch, on the North American mainland two years after her pack smuggled themselves there from Isla Nublar.

At the time of her hatching, the only other chick in the pack was her cousin Tumult, who is a year older than her. A few months later Tumult's parents' second clutch hatched Daydreamer, and Soft steps, giving Ruckus playmates a little closer to her own age. The four of them have been getting along well ever since, even if they haven't always had the exact same idea of what's a fun way of playing.

When she was about half a year old, Blue and the Indoraptor prototype joined the pack with their children. Sunny, Starlight, Dawn, and Dusk actually are pretty much the same age as Ruckus, and with them she has an easier time both keeping up with them and not being too rough for playing with a tinier chick, like has sometimes been an issue with her cousins as her only playmates. As they have gotten older, the age difference with Daydreamer and Soft steps has started feeling less significant, too, with no one in the group being a literal hatchling anymore.

Ruckus likes looking after the younger members of her pack, though, and was delighted to become an older sister with the hatching of Whistler and Whisper, and more recently an aunt, as Tumult and her mate Skye had their first clutch of their very own.

Daydreamer


"You're making that up."
"Yeah. But what if???"

Starlight and Daydreamer

Daydreamer is a descendant of Velociraptors born around the time of the original Jurassic Park.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lively with an even livelier imagination.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daydreamer's scales have a light yellow base colour, with patches of yellow-orange, lighter underbelly, and a broad streak of darker brown along the back and around the eyes that fringes into small stripes along the edges of the colour. Ey have sparsely placed black stripes across eir back, snout, tail, and limbs. There is a spot of the underbelly colour on eir left brow, and it also covers much of eir limbs.

Eir eyes are yellow.

At Daydreamer's first appearance as a hatchling eir patterns hadn't yet developed into more than dappled spots. Later ey spent eir juvenile years with mostly the same patterns ey have as an adult, though the darker streak along the back was a little simpler without the fringed edge, and ey had the typical juvenile colouring of light and dull shades of brown, which gradually brightened into adult colours.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After remaining hidden during the building of Jurassic World and the years the park was operational, what was left of Survivor's pack traveled to the mainland as stowaways, when the island they had only just begun to refamiliarize themselves with became uninhabitable due to the eruption of Mt. Sibo. They reached their new homeland miraculously undetected.

It took some time for the pack to get used to life with more space and freedom of movement again, a luxury some of the younger generation had barely gotten to experience before they had had to go into hiding, but slowly, health of the stressed and starving pack members began to improve.

Eventually they were ready to nest again, for the first time in over a decade. Two years after the pack's arrival on the mainland and a year after the hatching of their first chick, Daydreamer's older sister Tumult, their parents had another clutch, which hatched Daydreamer and eir sister Soft steps.

While tiny, Daydreamer spent eir days with eir equally tiny clutchmate and trying to keep up with their older sister and cousin. Eventually they also got more playmates, with Blue and the Indoraptor prototype and their children coming to live with them. Though their younger chicks were still a bit older, Daydreamer was used to being one of the tiniest ones around, and fit well into the group of friends they formed. Eventually ey even had to get used to being one of the bigger chicks of the pack!

Having grown up, Daydreamer's scales have grown brighter and gained their adult colours. Eir variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptor generally has sexually dimorphic colouring, but Daydreamer's appearance doesn't make very clear whether ey're male or female. Whether Daydreamer is male or female or something else entirely doesn't particularly matter to em or the rest of the pack, though, so ambiguity on the matter is not an issue. They love em as whatever ey are.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I used ey/em/eir pronouns for Daydreamer in this profile due to this set of pronouns being gender-neutral, and not as easy to confuse with plural "they" as the also gender-neutral singular "they" would have been, considering the profile also refers to groups of raptors several times. Comics and image captions written while ey were a juvenile use he/him/his pronouns. Any pronouns are fine to use for Daydreamer, though.

Daydreamer's baby toy figure has different colouring from how I've drawn em as a baby, because it's a minifigure intended to be depicting an adult raptor, but I wanted em to have baby colours. I didn't repaint the figure, since it's one of the original JP ones from the 90's and I prefer to leave it as it is. Eir markings are based on that minifigure, as are eir recent adult colours.

In comics eir speech bubbles have been colour-coded as light yellow with a light brown outline in eir first comic appearance, and more recently as the colours reversed.

 

Victoria


"[Blue] remembers there was another sister in place of Charlie in the very beginning, but then she went away, and a while later Charlie was brought into the pack."
Last Queens of Thieves, chapter 7

Victoria was a raptor Blue, Delta, and Echo knew as hatchlings, and may or may not have been the same raptor as Subject V-2.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Considered aggressive and unpredictable as a chick?

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victoria is a warm shade of grey with purple markings along her back and around her eyes. She has two small, vertical scars on her snout. Her claws are light brown, and her eyes are orange.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victoria hatched a little after Blue and a little before Delta and Echo. She was originally intended to be part of the I.B.R.I.S. project, but was deemed unsuitable while still very young, possibly due to health or behavior complications, and was subsequently euthanized. Charlie was incubated as a replacement for her.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her appearance is based on one of the raptor figures from the JW Legacy Collection, and her backstory on the possible explanation for why Charlie's place in the pack's alphabet theme naming doesn't match her place in the raptors' order by age.

Whether she is supposed to be Subject V-2 in particular or if that was a different rejected raptor that lived and died before Blue and her sisters even hatched, I'm not entirely sure, but either way she is dead, so I guess I don't have to decide if I don't want to. I painted those scars V-2 has in her concept art on the toy figure in any case. I think of the figure as being what she would have looked like if she got to grow up.

In comics her speech bubbles have been colour-coded as orange with a purple outline.

 

Serene


Serene is one of Dash and Dare's chicks. He is Tree-stain paws' mate, and father of Tumult, Daydreamer, and Soft steps. He is one of the Velociraptors who migrated to the mainland, and also one of the first in his pack to meet their new neighbors.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As his name implies, Serene is good at staying calm in a scary situation, and can be a soothing presence for his packmates, too. He has a mischievous side that hasn't gotten to show as much, though playing with his unruly children helps with that.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serene has colouring typical of the males of the first variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptors. His base colour is orange, with dark stripes, and a white underbelly.
His eyes are yellow.

The top of his head is mostly solid dark, but his brows are orange, like on his father. He has a small, dark spot near the tip of his otherwise white chin. The back of his neck is dark with orange spots along the spine. The tip of his tail is dark.

He has three thin, vertical scars on his right leg.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serene is one of the last of his pack to have hatched on Isla Nublar.

He spent his juvenile years in a relatively safe environment, with a big family to protect and guide him, and many other young raptors to play with. In addition to his siblings, Leader's second clutch and Survivor and Squeak's offspring were still chicks when he hatched, though they are a bit older, and he and his siblings weren't as close with them until they were all adults.

Not long after, the safety of his childhood home was shattered by the return of the humans, and the pack had to find a different way of life. Serene had grown up with his species being well-off and formidable among the island's residents, but in his adulthood they had to learn to be sneaking shadows, getting by on whatever scraps they could find in terms of both food and shelter. Serene and his siblings adapted fairly well, however, having only barely had the chance to know any better. For some of them this sadly led to overestimating their skills in avoiding detection by humans, and not all of them lived to escape the island.

By the time the pack was able to live more freely again, Serene was twenty years old. Tree-stain paws had become a dear friend to him, but their living conditions being so dangerous and stressful had put a halt on nesting cycles that could have prompted the relationship to turn into a pair bond. A year after migrating to the mainland their life and health had stabilized enough to nest again, and the two of them finally became mates and parents.

The chicks have been a handful, and neither Serene or Tree-stain paws are very young anymore despite parenthood being a relatively new experience for them, but he loves his little troublemakers. His oldest child now has little troublemakers of her own, and Serene is happy to help look after his grandchildren.

Singer


Singer is one of Dash and Dare's chicks. He is Beetlebiter's mate, and father of Ruckus, Whistler, and Whisper. He is one of the Velociraptors who migrated to the mainland.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Confident, affectionate.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Singer has colouring and patterns typical of the first variation of Jurassic Park Velociraptors; orange base colour, dark stripes, and a white underbelly. His eyes are green.

He has a dark patch on his chin, and two smaller, white spots on the tip of his snout just above the nostrils.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Singer is one of the last of his pack to have hatched on Isla Nublar.

He spent his growing years in a relatively safe environment, enjoying the care and protection of a sizeable raptor population, playing with his siblings, and learning skills needed as an adult member of the pack. Singer especially showed great aptitude for stealth and observation, and would often tag along with his father for the less dangerous scouting errands.

The need for long-distance communication on such outings led to discovering another skill he could excel at, and for which he is named - Singer is particularly good at calls that are high-pitched enough that some of their prey don't hear them at all and remain unaware of the raptors' presence. He can also imitate the sounds other creatures make fairly well.

As an adult he became close friends with Beetlebiter, who, like Singer, had started joining his father, Finder, on patrols around the raptors' territory.

Beetlebiter proved less suited for the role of a scout, but what he lacked in patience, he made up for in enthusiasm for discovering new things and sharing anything interesting and amusing he came across. The two friends became a balancing influence on each other, with Singer grounding Beetlebiter at his more whimsical, and Beetlebiter encouraging Singer to look at things from new and unexpected angles. In addition to the scout training, which his siblings would also sometimes join in on, Singer started going on journeys around the island with his friend, more for entertainment than for work. Sometimes other raptors would join in, especially Beetlebiter's sister Tree-stain paws, who shared his curiosity for new places, but often it was just the two of them, and along with the traveling they found they enjoyed each other's company very much.

Eventually the friendship became a pair bond, and even produced a clutch of eggs, but unfortunately before the eggs were due to hatch, the pack had to relocate to somewhere safer from humans, who suddenly returned to the island to begin building Jurassic World. They did their best to transport the eggs safely and not let them get cold, but whether it was due to the disturbance to their incubation or some other reason, none of them hatched. While still mourning the loss of their clutch and too stressed to have another, the young couple along with the rest of the pack had to move on and adapt to their new circumstances for survival.

In their long years of hiding, being able to make sounds humans couldn't hear was certainly a valuable skill, and if it occasionally attracted a runaway pet they could get away with not letting be found, all the better.

Though nesting was too dangerous to consider, the pair bond between Singer and Beetlebiter persevered. After the pack left the island and healed, they finally got their second chance at parenthood, and this time one egg was indeed viable, hatching little Ruckus. A year later their third clutch hatched Ruckus two little siblings, Whistler and Whisper.

Beetlebiter


Beetlebiter is one of Squeak's chicks. He is Singer's mate, and father of Ruckus, Whistler, and Whisper. He is one of the Velociraptors who migrated to the mainland.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excitable, clever, good at finding little things to be happy about.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beetlebiter's patterns are large, red splotches with dark outlines, on a light brown background with a white underbelly. He has dark around his eyes, with two stripes reaching down to his mouth on both sides of his face. He grew up with his colouring resembling more his aunt Whirlwind's shades of brown, but over the first two years after reaching adulthood his patterns continued to grow brighter and darker. His eyes are yellow-green.

He has four roughly parallel scars on his left thigh. His tail has broken at some point, and though it's already healed it gets a sharp kink to it in some positions at about two thirds towards the tip.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beetlebiter hatched at the nest his mother Squeak and her mate Survivor made in Jurassic Park's original raptor paddock (distinct from the holding pen the park's adult raptors were kept in during the incident that led to humans fleeing the island), after Survivor had established a new pack there with some other raptors from their generation. He and his siblings, as which he counts both his clutchmates and the chicks hatched from Survivor's clutch, were raised by their four biological parents with the help of the rest of the pack, as well as his grandparents' pack.

Though his appearance is a little unusual in more than just the shape of his patterns, it has not caused much confusion. The colouring he had when reaching adulthood would have indicated him as a female, but when his markings gained a palette more indicative of a male, this was just accepted by the pack as how things are now. Male or female, he is a beloved packmate and family member. As his current colouring is that of a male of his colour morph, he and the other raptors consider him to be male.

Beetlebiter has always been interested in finding new things about the world around him, and the things about it he finds interesting can be sometimes surprising. At about five years old he started wanting to learn to be a scout for the pack like his biological father, but staying still and quiet wasn't one of his strengths, and his attention could get directed at all kinds of things outside the task at hand. He did, however, find he liked the attention of his fellow scout trainee, Singer, and the two young adults became good friends.

Eventually the friendship became a pair bond, and even produced a clutch of eggs. That the two of them would be able to have offspring together wasn't really questioned, and the new eggs were welcomed and celebrated.

Their timing ended up not being ideal, as before the eggs were due to hatch, the pack had to relocate to somewhere safer from humans, who suddenly returned to the island to begin building Jurassic World. They did their best to transport the eggs safely and not let them get cold, but whether it was due to the disturbance to their incubation or some other reason, none of them hatched. While still mourning the loss of their clutch and too stressed to have another, the young couple along with the rest of the pack had to move on and adapt to their new circumstances for survival.

Beetlebiter proved to have a knack for finding unusual food sources and ways of getting to them, as well as for discerning from the risky but rewarding those that were more danger than they were worth. He would hunt insects, now more out of necessity than curiosity; as well as frogs, wisely leaving alone the too brightly coloured ones. He also came up with the idea of benefiting from scraps of humans' food without going right where humans had placed them when it was too out in the open - instead of digging through garbage cans, the raptors would wait nearby, letting them act as bait, and catch rats, birds, and the occasional Compsognathus, that did the digging.

After the pack left the island and healed, Beetlebiter and Singer finally got their second chance at parenthood, and this time one egg was indeed viable, hatching little Ruckus. A year later their third clutch hatched Ruckus two little siblings, Whistler and Whisper.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His design is based on the Tribe B Velociraptors from Jurassic Park: Trespasser. I consider this a colour morph rather than a subspecies.

The change of his colouring might be a result of the frog DNA, or it might just be an individual pigmentation quirk. In the case of the former, exactly what changes, if any, may accompany the colouring is unknown, other than that he obviously retains a functioning ovary. The rest is probably none of anyone else's business.

In comics his speech bubbles have been colour-coded as red with a purple outline.

 

Soft steps


"You come out when you're ready, babies. It's not really scary here."
Soft steps to her still unhatched cousins

Soft steps is a descendant of Velociraptors born around the time of the original Jurassic Park.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quiet, cautious but curious.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soft steps has stripe patterns in shades of brown, as is typical for her version of Jurassic Park Velociraptor.

The top of her head is dark, and the colour reaches around her eyes, and snout on the right side, but not quite to her mouth. She has dark along her back, and somewhat broad stripes running down from that, and the tip of her tail is dark. A few of the bigger patterns on her legs are shaped more like spots than stripes.

In her adult colouring, her scales are quite dark. Her base colour and patterns both have a strong reddish-purple tint to them, and her underbelly is a sandy yellow-brown. Her eyes are a very pale yellow-green, appearing almost white.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soft steps hatched two years after her pack migrated from Isla Nublar to the mainland. She is the youngest among her siblings at the moment, having hatched a little over a day after her only clutchmate Daydreamer (she likes to give new things a careful consideration before engaging, which, it seems, includes entering the world).

While she didn't always take part in some of the other chicks' more daring adventures, she was eager to hear about them. When she did tag along, she was often the one in the group most observant to when it's time to hide or flee back to the safety of their nest, and despite having at first mistaken her wariness for cowardice, the others soon learned to pay attention to her astute warnings.

After the pack met Blue and the Indoraptor prototype's pack and welcomed them to share their territory, the chicks also gained more playmates - Soft steps and Daydreamer, their big sister Tumult, and their cousin Ruckus now had five more young raptors as their friends. Soft steps took introductions at her own pace, and at first mostly watched the older chicks play while studying how to participate safely - some of the Indoraptor chicks were, after all, quite a bit bigger than her. Eventually Soft steps warmed up to interacting with them more directly.

Dusk is one of her favorites to spend time with, and though both of them are a bit shy, they get along well, perhaps because and not despite of this shared trait. She also really likes to hang out with Sunny, as a bit of a voice of reason on her friend's adventures, which are all the same more reckless than she might have thought to embark on of her own initiative (but once safely home again, Soft steps always finds herself glad she went with her).

Her interest in exploring and her patience to thoroughly check for potential dangers has made her a competent addition to the pack's scouts in adulthood.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In comics her speech bubbles have been colour-coded as white with a very light brown outline. She often speaks quietly, so her dialogue is usually in lowercase.

Whistler


Whistler is a subadult Velociraptor; one of Beetlebiter and Singer's two youngest chicks, and little brother of Ruckus.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expressive,
likes to be helpful.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whistler's patterns are large splotches with darker outlines, similar to his father Beetlebiter's. A large portion of his lower jaw and the tip of his tail are dark, and his underbelly colour covers the tip of his snout completely. His eyes are green.

His colours are still changing from his baby palette, but his markings have gotten brighter, and the splotches appear to be mostly orange.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whistler is one of the two chicks who hatched from Beetlebiter and Singer's third clutch (or second clutch that hatched).

Behind the scenes

Like Beetlebiter's, his patterns are based on the Tribe B Velociraptors from Jurassic Park: Trespasser, which I consider a colour morph rather than a subspecies.

Whisper


Whisper is a subadult Velociraptor; one of Beetlebiter and Singer's two youngest chicks, and little brother of Ruckus.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perceptive, eager to learn new things.

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whisper has dark stripe patterns on a reddish-orange base colour. His colouring is still changing from the dull and light shades of brown of the unisex baby colouring of this version of Jurassic Park Velociraptor, and will get brighter as he grows.

The top of his head is dark, but he has a small, light dot on his snout just above the nostrils. He has a dark splotch under his lower jaw near the tip of the chin, and a vertical stripe under each eye that reaches to his mouth but not to the bottom lip or jaw. His eyes are yellow-green.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whisper is one of the two chicks who hatched from Beetlebiter and Singer's third clutch (or second clutch that hatched).

Tempest


Tempest is one of Skye and Tumult's two daughters.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rambunctious

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tempest is a scaly Jurassic Park Velociraptor chick, with stripe patterns in shades of brown that are duller and lighter than the palette of an adult female Velociraptor of this version. She looks a lot like Tumult did at the same age, but their markings have a few small differences, mainly that Tempest doesn't have a dark tail tip, or gaps in the underbelly colour on her upper lip.
Her eyes are yellow-orange.

She has been smaller than her clutchmate sibling since hatching.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tempest and her sister are the first chicks to have been born of a union between the two raptor packs that encountered each other somewhere in North America about two and a half years after the eruption of Mount Sibo.

One pack consists of descendants of the Velociraptors created for Jurassic Park, who had managed to remain alive and hidden on Isla Nublar until the island became uninhabitable, and successfully smuggled themselves to the mainland aboard a boat, led by Survivor and her mate Squeak, two of the last Velociraptors to have still hatched at the laboratory in the Jurassic Park Visitor Center. The other pack was established on the mainland by two escaped test subjects of the I.B.R.I.S. / Indoraptor project, and consists of them and their children.

After meeting and agreeing to share their territory, the packs merged into one. Particularly happy about this were Survivor and Squeak's granddaughter Tumult, and Blue and the Indoraptor prototype's daughter Skye, who were both subadults at the time. The two girls quickly became inseparable friends, and soon their relationship developed into a courtship. Having grown up now, the two of them are a pair with two babies of their own.

Tempest hatched from the egg laid by Tumult, and is a few hours older than her sister Cloudburst, who hatched from the egg laid by Skye.

Behind the scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tempest is Tumult's biological daughter through parthenogenesis, but as far as the raptors are concerned, both Tumult and Skye are biological parents of both of their chicks.


Cloudburst


Cloudburst is one of Skye and Tumult's two daughters.

Personality
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cuddly

Physical appearance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloudburst is a feathered Jurassic Park/World Velociraptor chick.

She has the same blue markings as Blue and Skye do, visible around the eyes and covered under feathers elsewhere. Unlike Skye, Cloudburst hatched already feathered, and had a few black tufts on the top of her head already in her down plumage. Another difference is that she has her underbelly colouring on the insides of her palms, like Blue does but Skye does not. Her eyes are yellow.

Her plumage, which is currently a juvenile plumage of pennaceous feathers, is dark, speckled grey with a light, cream-coloured underbelly. She has a black crest at the back of her head similar to Skye's, but the black also extends down the back of her neck to her upper back. Under her chin she has a little beard of soft feathers, which are black at the tips. Her flight feathers are a purplish grey darker than her base colour. The dorsal greater coverts on her wings are black, and the arm feathers (or marginal coverts) bordering them have white tips. Her limbs have bands of the dark, purplish grey, and on her legs also of her underbelly colour.

Her wings are mostly functional, but she has pronated wrists like her mother, and can't fold them quite as much as a Mesozoic dromaeosaurid could.

She has been a little bigger than her clutchmate sibling since hatching.

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloudburst and her sister are the first chicks to have been born of a union between the two raptor packs that encountered each other somewhere in North America about two and a half years after the eruption of Mount Sibo.
