River Raptors Moderate
River Raptors hunt the edges — the slow squadmate, the lone traveller, the one who fell behind.
Fast reptilian predators of wetlands and coasts — quick, persistent, and dangerous to stragglers.
Danger Level
River Raptors are a moderate threat — manageable for a formed squad but genuinely dangerous to isolated or slow characters.
Behaviour & Speed
They are fast and persistent predators of wet and coastal terrain, picking off stragglers and pursuing fleeing prey.
Loot
River Raptors yield meat and skins, providing food and modest trade income.
Weaknesses & Counters
Keep the squad together — Raptors prey on stragglers. A formed group with even modest combat skill handles them without much trouble.
