<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>The dreadnought raptor is a large, distinctly marked bird, with a wingspan twice the height of a giantman. Glossy black feathers and white markings on its broad wings and rounded tail give the raptor an ominous appearance, and feathers cover its legs to its feet. A dark ruff borders the dreadnought raptor's bald red head and neck. Its hooked bill and powerful talons are well suited for hunting.</pre><br />
<br />
==Hunting strategies==<br />
A melee fighter won't be able to hit them until after they swoop to attack. However, once they have attacked, they're within range of a melee weapon. Try to stun them or to sever a limb; either will make them tumble to the ground.<br />
<br />
==Other information==<br />
The dreadnought raptor spear attack messaging uses the [[impale]] natural weapon table while the impale attack messaging uses the [[bite]] natural weapon table.<br />
<br />

Wing buffet messaging.<br />

<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>A dreadnought raptor swoops down over you, buffeting you with its wings!<br />
[SMR result: -179 (Open d100: -5)]<br />
You duck to the side and the raptor barely misses with a powerful swat!</pre><br />
<br />
Fletchings made with the feathers will impart air flares, regardless of if a magical fletching razor is used.<br />
