The Violetraptor is a massive hyper-aggressive raptor preying on megafauna and airships in the polar jet streams between Kela, Thazvaar, and the Geba continent. Its 20 to 30 meter wingspan and reinforced skeletal frame enable coordinated flocks of five to fifteen to shear hulls and propulsion systems at high velocity dives from cloud cover or stellar glare. Its violet plumage refracts light to disorient pilots and mask attack vectors, making the flock difficult to track until impact.
Presumed descendant of the rarer Jadenraptor from the Uncharted Continent, the Violetraptor's sudden appearance and aggressive behavior reclassifies it as an invasive threat. The Kela Maritime Guild and Sentinel Division authorize live-fire corridors and bounties for corpses to stabilize long-haul air routes and prevent spread into relay zones. Regarded as omens of catastrophe by frontier crews and symbols of reckless strength by Frost Sentinel lineages, the Violetraptor is admired and despised in equal measure.
