Faction: Mutant Menagerie

Fatally crippled by another monster, the Raptros couple collapsed into the sea, sinking beneath the waves. It was a joyous moment for all concerned — both dragons had fallen, and being swallowed up by the waves they had no chance of return. Unbeknownst to everyone, however, the couple had left behind a legacy: a single egg, buried within the Earth's crust. Soon, a newer, deadlier Raptros, incubated by geothermal heat, hatched and grew to a greater size and ferocity than his parents ever could. Not long after the second alien invasion touched down, the hatchling, now fully grown, spread his wings and took to the sky for the first time…

Raptros both inflicts and resists Fire damage, taking reduced damage from being burned and gaining energy from it. He is weak to Ice, taking increased damage from being frozen, and slightly slowed by cold attacks.

Raptros will ignite the ground beneath him for his short-range special as before, but the blast will also set the ground under him on fire and wreathe him in flames. He deals additional Fire damage on top of his melee damage and burns enemies that touch him, but gradually loses health over time until the effect wears off. He will also leave a trail of flames behind him while he runs or flies, burning monsters that come into contact with them. Note that this effect does not increase his melee damage power, unlike his taunt, and does not grant him energy - he must be set on fire by enemies or hazards to benefit from it.

In a similar vein, his ranged attack and long-range special will also set anything they touch on fire, including objects, terrain, and other monsters and minions. The long-range special diminishes in power the further its victim is from him, though.

Raptros now has a quadrupedal stance, walking on his wings and back legs (like the Jabberwock from Tim Burton's 2010 Alice in Wonderland movie), leaving his forelegs free to grab objects or enemies. When dashing, he rises up on his back legs and runs with his body parallel to the ground, like a theropod dinosaur; he can also jump while dashing, pushing himself off the ground using his wings and increasing his flight speed temporarily.

If Raptros grabs an enemy monster or heavy object, he can now carry them into the air by mashing the jump button. This uses up a lot of energy, however, and he can't stay airborne for long while carrying large weights in his claws. He can, however, lighten his load by simply dropping the object, which deals damage if it lands on an enemy monster as though it were thrown. If he drops an enemy monster from a high enough altitude, they take fall damage.

If knocked into water, hit by a water attack, or exposed to rain, snow, or acid rain, Raptro's flight speed will be slightly reduced for a short period from getting his wings wet.
