''Raptormaniacs'' is a {{Webcomic}} by our own troper Tropers/{{Albertonykus}}. He describes it as "an attempt at a web comic side project with [[UsefulNotes/PrehistoricLifeBirdlikeTheropods maniraptors]]. They express whatever funny or unfunny jokes that turn up inside my head, [[http://albertonykus.blogspot.com/search/label/Song parody songs]], and occasionally [[ShownTheirWork provide a few legitimate scientific facts]]."

!!This comic provides examples of:

%%* AuthorAvatar: [[http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx298/Albertonykus_borealis/Raptormaniacs/1.jpg?t=1265769857 In the second strip, at that.]]
%%* AxCrazy: Savape.
* BatOutOfHell: Ostrom states they mostly subvert this trope, although he recalled waking up with a bleeding cut on his foot made by a vampire bat (who apparently made a bet that it could drink 30 grams of his blood).
%%* BigDamnHeroes: Said word-for-word in [[http://albertonykus.blogspot.com/2011/12/another-attempted-revolt-part-i.html this strip.]]
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Ebeff and Remex, respectively.
%%* BreakingTheFourthWall: Ostrom does this from time to time.
* ButtMonkey: Ostrom always gets pummeled in conflicts against other creatures. In other times, he is never given a chance to make a kill.
%%* CatsAreMean: Dinky certainly thinks so.
%%* CloudCuckooLander: Zahavi.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Ostrom will always get beaten up or chased away when pitted against anything bigger than himself, in a TakeThat to media depictions of dromaeosaurids being able to kill larger creatures.
** By contrast, Savape can easily kill pretty much anything, regardless of size.
%%* TheDitz: Dinky and Ebeff.
* DumbMuscle: Subverted with the stegosaurids, as Skull learned the hard way.
%%* EatsBabies: Savape in the puggles arc.
%%* ExpositoryThemeTune: And one that parodies ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' at that. [[http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/024/b/a/Raptormaniacs___Theme_Song___by_Albertonykus.jpg Enjoy!]]
%%* FourthWallMailSlot: The Askblog.
%%* LiteralMinded: Ebeff, as shown this [[http://raptormaniacs.tumblr.com/post/59678334401/i-take-that-ebeff-is-not-very-bright Askblog]].
%%* MeaningfulName: All of the characters except Zahavi.
* MindOverMatter: Zahavi has been shown to have telekinesis.
%%* NoFourthWall: The Askblog.
%%* OnlySaneMan: Ostrom.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Savape is only crow-sized, and yet she can kill ''anything'' with ease.
* RaptorAttack:
** Averted by Skull the Eumaniraptor Trio.
** It's played straight [[http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx298/Albertonykus_borealis/Raptormaniacs/42.jpg once]], but it was intentional.
* RunningGag: On the Askblog, when asked about opinions about a certain movie, Zahavi will always say "I like the part where everybody exploded."
* ShownTheirWork:
** The strip's maniraptorans are all properly feathered.
** A strip featuring a tyrannosaurid correctly shows its fused nasal bones
* TakenForGranite: Zahavi fossilizes in one strip.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: No one seems to care when Zahavi [[TakenForGranite fossilizes]] or [[MindOverMatter lifts objects with his mind.]] They even seem slightly annoyed at it.
%%* WolverineClaws: Ebeff.
%%* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: The Christmas ''Caudipteryx'' arc.
