History Characters / JurassicParkVelociraptor

* ItCanThink: Muldoon demands that the ''Velociraptors'' be killed as they're far too intelligent; testing the electric fence for weaknesses (but never the same spot twice; "They remember," he warns) before they were moved to their high-walled prison. [[spoiler:They seem to realize when the power is cut and claw their way through the electrified wire at the top. Even Muldoon underestimates their intelligence--as he's stalking one ''Velociraptor'', another ambushes him from the side. His LastWords are genuinely admiring, "Clever girl!" And there's that TemptingFate scene: "Unless they figure out how to open doors."]]

** The Big One receives one from Rexy. According to ''Jurassic Park: The Game'', the ''Tyrannosaurus'' devoured the raptor, leaving only a toe and claw behind.
* CurbStompCushion: Her battle with Rexy. Taking the ''Tyrannosaurus'' by surprise, she was able to jump onto Rexy's flank and inflict some damage until Rexy was able to shake her off. ''Jurassic World'' shows that Rexy was left with raptor-inflicted scars.

* RevengeBeforeReason: Though she never had good relations with her pack, the Big One doesn't take it well when Rexy kills her remaining packmate and decides to attack the giant carnivore rather than flee or at least continue her human hunt. Whether it's because she actually cares about her pack or sees it as a wound to her pride, the Big One's reckless attack on Rexy proves to be her downfall.

* SuperPersistentPredator: Unlike Rexy, who knows when to give up chasing her prey, the Big One just never stops hunting hers. At the climax of the film, she chases the heroes throughout the entire Visitor Center, going through the kitchen, the computer room, the air vents, and finally the main hall.

* GenderBender: Averted according to [[AllThereInTheManual the LEGO Jurassic World]] site, which indicates that there isn't amphibian DNA in the mix. Each raptor has DNA from different reptiles and birds, effectively removing any genes that allowed the [[Film/JurassicPark original pack]] to change their sexes in a single-sex environment. [[spoiler:''Aftermath'' reveals that this gave them the ability to reproduce through parthenogenesis, though, making the GenderBender issue moot]].

* TheDreaded: Grant knows from his harrowing experiences that these raptors are not to be trifled with. His anger when he learns that Billy stole two of their eggs is entirely justified.

* InformedAttribute: It is stated by Dr. Grant in the first film that ''Velociraptor'' uses its large sickle-like claws on its toes to disembowel its prey's belly before it starts eating the spilled intestines while [[EatenAlive the prey is still alive]]. But on-screen, the raptors are never shown to use their sickle claws to disembowel. Instead, they use their jaws to clamp on the prey's neck, with their sickle claws pinning them down. Only in the novels do the raptors disembowel their prey. Ironically, this is more accurate to the real-life ''Velociraptor'' and ''Deinoychus'', as modern studies reveal that their sickle claws are incapable of disemboweling their prey. Dr. Grant himself alludes to [[DiscontinuityNod the theory being disproven]] in ''Dominion''.

* SuperPersistentPredator: Raptors always hunt, even when they are not hungry. And humans are their favorite prey because of how easy it is to kill one. And they will not rest till they've hunted all of the humans on the island. In the novel they spend hours trying to gnaw through the metal bars around the Visitor Center to get to the surviving humans, while the film [[EstablishingCharacterMoment begins with]] a ''Velociraptor'' killing a park worker and refusing to let go despite twenty guards zapping her with stun batons simultaneously.

* MysteriousPast: Season 4 and 5 doesn't provide many details about the Mantahcorp raptor pack and where they come from (e.g. If they have nicknames, wether Mantah Corp cloned or or stole them from Sorna like the Eaties).

* ThereIsAnother: After the deaths of Echo, Delta, and Charlie in ''Film/JurassicWorld'', Blue was assumed and claimed in ''Fallen Kingdom'' to be the last surviving ''Velociraptor'' on Earth. However, the introduction of these two raptors confirms that she isn't yet the last of her kind.

* MysteriousPast: Season 4 and 5 doesn't provide many details about the two raptors (If they have nicknames, if they were cloned by Mantah Corp or stolen from Isla Sorna, whether they were the last surviving raptors on Site B or not, etc.)

* PintSizedPowerhouse: She ''is'' still a ''Velociraptor'', after all. When Blue takes her hunting early on, a wolf manages to get a drop on a rabbit before she does. Her response is to ''pounce on the wolf instead''. [[spoiler:Later in the film when she got loose inside the [=BioSyn=] facility, it takes Owen, Alan, and Maisie to work together to capture her, and she almost kills Alan when Owen manages to tranquilize her just in time.]]

* TheSociopath: By animalistic standards that is, and a byproduct of them being poorly raised in captivity. The ''Velociraptors'' of the first novel and film were never given much freedom and scarce food, causing them to become unnaturally hostile, angry, and brutal. Their intelligence made things worse as the raptors ended up developing sadistic tendencies that clash against natural instincts and decide to hunt humans for sport once they find a way to escape. As a result, the ''Velociratptor'' was the only dinosaur that acted very homicidally and chose to pick apart its prey in a sadistic manner, not to mention they even developed traits of defiance and suicidal tenacity that are recurring antisocial symptoms. Thankfully, this is averted in the later films where the raptors shown are much more mentally and socially well-adjusted and lack the sadistic habits of the ones in the first book and film.

* CompositeCharacter: Despite being named after the real-life ''Velociraptor'', most of their distinguishing traits are actually taken from other raptor species. Their size and appearance are closer to that of the ''Utahraptor'', while their high intelligence is actually taken from the ''Deinonychus''.

* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Implied, seeing as the alpha male appears to be second-in-command to his mate, who is implied to make most of the decisions between them.

* HasTwoMommies: The only person other than Owen (who is their Alpha) they are comfortable with is Barry, in a way, making him their second dad.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:They are the ones who rip Kash and one of Daniel Kon's goons to shreds.]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: After [[spoiler:Hoskins]] is revealed to have been behind the entire conflict and spent the entire film treating the raptors like expendable tools, Delta disemboweling him doesn't cost her or them much sympathy.
