The Jadenraptor is a colossal high altitude raptor from the Uncharted Continent, with wingspans of 40 to 60 meters and limb musculature adapted for vertical soar and controlled descent. It is one of Geba's largest aerial species and yet entirely non-aggressive, avoiding human contact and abandoning nests if disturbed, vanishing beyond all trace when pursued. Its feathers emit brilliant green reflectance under stellar light, blinding pilots and contributing to mid-air accidents along routes that intersect its migratory patterns.
High intelligence allows reasoning rather than conventional training. In rare instances Yuvaari tamers form bonds with individual Jadenraptors through tone, intent, and ritual, riding them in festival hunts or crossings without breeding or caging. Most vanish after a season. Their eggs have occasionally been discovered in eastern Inland Thazvaar and Yuvaar. Most fail to hatch, but the rare survivors take immediate flight toward the Uncharted, unassisted. The Jadenraptor is believed ancestral to the aggressive Violetraptor, and is protected by unspoken migratory route laws among navigators.
