The Jungle Raptor (also referred to as the Speckled Moss Raptor) is one of the few species of dromaeosaurids that inhabit the continent of Arcadia. Due to high competition from spitter drakes, the Arcadian dromeosaurs were forced into occupying the niche of small, forest-dwelling predators and scavengers. Their habitat is located on the densely forested eastern side of the continent.
The Jungle Raptor is by far the most common member of its genus. Rarely exceeding 100 centimeters in length, these crafty little critters skitter through the underbrush in search of small insects and rodents, occasionally partaking in carrion left by larger predators.
They usually lead either a solitary lifestyle or as mated pairs. No clear sexual dimorphism has been noted between males and females, which isn't much of a surprise considering that once two individuals mate, they become life-long companions to one another. Only when one of the pair dies does the other attempt to look for another mate.
Adult humanoids have nothing to fear when encountering a pair of Jungle Raptors; these creatures are far too small and skittish to attack anything larger than them. The only exception occurs when the pair are protecting their nest. Aside from that, they are about as dangerous as a healthy fox or raccoon.
