![Click to change the View [Ref] Claw the Velociraptor](http://d.furaffinity.net/art/raethalis/1450935564/1423693796.raethalis_claw-the-velociraptor-ref___fa.jpg)
*Edit* Should point out I love the 'Tail Fan' that Clojo drew in on her submission. This is optional, but it's a lovely addition to any feathery raptor :>
*Edit 12/23* Added a panel to portray a mostly-accurate size comparison between Claw and the original velociraptors, as well as between Dilo and a human. Also updated Claw and Dilo's background info.
Originally they had little backstory or personality but then I began growing fond of them, and expanded and fleshed out their characters. Today they’re a part of my own unique story world, where in the past it roughly takes after the general setting that DDD has (Dinosaurs in WW2) but branches off in its own direction beyond that.
Their birthdates were supposed to be the date I purchased the game, however I was unable to find this information so I picked one at random - Claw being older than Dilo as she was the first dinosaur class I played, with the Dilophosaurus being the second.
Claw’s favorite foods include rabbit meat (Reference to the ‘decoy/lure’ in-game), sushi (especially tuna and salmon), and spicy foods. Also people who make her very mad.
Unlike the in-game Dilophosaurus, which appear to be very fond of (or at least fed mostly) goat meat, Dilo hates the taste of it. His favorite foods include fish of all kinds, turkey and chicken, and pumpkin pie. He’s also fond of chocolate.
Claw and Dilo are the result of an experiment intended to accelerate the intellectual growth and capacity of the dinosaur ‘soldiers’, to make them more efficient on the battlefield as well as to reduce the number of friendly casualties from the frequently unruly animals. Claw and Dilo were the only two known successes at the time, and to preserve this rare case of success they were not permitted to ever set foot on the battlefield to prevent them from getting killed - much to Claw’s frustration, and a frustration she often took out on those around her.
Claw herself is a hybrid - blending velociraptor and deinonychus together to get the best traits from both species: the speed and dexterity of the velociraptor and the greater size and endurance of the deinonychus. Claw’s the only time such a blending has ever occurred, as it was deemed too expensive and time consuming to perform reliably at the time, and the secrets of this process were lost in the final days of the war.
In these final days Claw and Dilo managed to sneak into one of the Axis labs, Claw desiring to vent her frustration by “breaking something important looking”, and in the process somehow found themselves cryogenically frozen where they remained until the present day (210 years)
In the present time that Claw and Dilo’s story takes place, dinosaurs are much more widespread, and raptors serve as a sentient secondary race - much like Elves do with Humans in many fantasy settings. Various national borders have changed during this time, between several conflicts (Including a WW3), and many feral dinosaurs roam in the wilderness.

When Claw gets all polite and affectionate, you have to get suspicious :P
Though she does honestly have a friendship with Dilo. If ye can get past her rotten attitude, and look deep inside.... Deep, deep, deeeep inside... She can actually be kinda nice. Doesn't have many friends, but that's kinda her fault ya'know? XP

Oh yes yes, foodtrap. And there's a whole faction of stupid jerks that could use quelling. Rescue the deinos from them. Also their stash of sushi.
(OT, but funny how in Red Alert, the Soviet Union is still a thing despite it being like, many years after they historically disbanded. They could use some dinosaurs though. Laser Cyborg Bears are fun and all, but they're not dinosaurs.)

Red alert is based in that general time area or was started being programmed when that was around. And everyone could use dinosaurs now. Tho we gotta get rid of the people who really really should not have kids. Or the people who have one every year. Kinda creepy.
Think we need dinosaurs with a bunch of roman candles. Just launch little flaming balls at people. Then have those mortors on us as well by our arms. That ways we have anti vehicle capability. Since I doubt anyone can drive when a massive bright and super loud bang happens in front of them. And nobody knows how to defend agaisnt roman candles and bottle rockets.
