# YMMV.MF217: Enter the Dragonfly known simply as the "R-1000", which matches many of the characteristics of the Liquiraptors beat for beat. The main reason they're rarely known in comparison to the T-1000 has to do with the fact they only show up in the last level of the game and are otherwise out of your way from the normal route of the level.
# WebVideo.PokemonAmber: Fleetwi and its later evolutions are based on feathered raptors while the spliced Fleetwi and later evolutions are based on the now debunked featherless raptors. The latter are more willing to ignore the commands of their Trainers. Primal Archen and Archeops, while based on the Archaeopteryx also has inspirations from Microraptor. Two Pokemon based on the Troodontidae line are Troazolt, a fully completed genetic clone of the upper half of Dracozolt and Arctozolt, and Trusetis.
# FragileSpeedster.VideoGames: Bird Wyverns such as the Great Jaggi or Yian Kut-ku move very fast and unpredictably, but have thin hides and don't take much to kill.
# ArtisticLicensePaleontology.{{Toys}}: the Pteranodon has a toothless beak, most of the theropods have non-pronated hands, the Spinosaurus is larger than the Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor is accurately sized, etc. The only real caveat is the lack of feathers on the deinonychosaurs.note And the nostrils atop the Brachiosaurus's head, but that one's a bit more technical. The Pteranodon does have one major error, though: Digitigrade feet used for perching in trees. Pteranodon had plantigrade feet and lived mostly on the ground when it wasn't flying. At least the resulting visuals are impressive◊.
# YMMV.SporeWikiFictionUniverse: All Capricornians gained the moniker of Waptors after bearing a very strong resemblance to the raptor genus of dinosaur.

# WorthyOpponent.LiveActionFilms: The last words of Robert Muldoon in Jurassic Park have him acknowledging a Velociraptor as this after she manages to ambush him while he's trying to shoot her comrade. Muldoon: Clever girl. A deleted scene from The Lost World: Jurassic Park reveals that Roland Tembo seeks to hunt a Tyrannosaurus rex for this reason, as he has gotten so good at hunting traditional big game across the world that he feels it is no longer sportsmanlike. Roland Tembo: Somewhere on this island is the greatest predator who ever lived. The second greatest predator must take him down.

# PokedexOfTropes.SToZ: Staraptor Attack
# WesternAnimation.ValleyOfTheDinosaurs: Zig-zagged. While no dromaeosaurids ever show up since they haven't been made stock yet, the series does have Archaeopteryx usually playing the role of Disturbed Doves.
# Series.ReallyWildAnimals: Dromaeosaurus (reusing the Deinonychus footage from Dinosaur! (1985)) and Utahraptor both appear in "Dinosaurs and Other Creature Features".
# OurDemonsAreDifferent.{{Literature}}: The Traitor Son Cycle has two types of beings that people call "demons".Quethnethogs, as they call themselves, are actually Wild creatures that look like large dromaeosaurids with opposable thumbs and emit a fear-inducing aura as a weapon - which is why they became known as demons. Any creatures that possesses other creatures is known as a demon, even if it was human in life.
# Literature.{{Expedition}}: The pack-hunting Prongheads, frequently compared to the prehistoric dromeosaurs. The Daggerwrist also looks and acts a lot like a Jurassic Park-style "Velociraptor". Some (thankfully feathered) Velociraptor appear briefly in a scene in Alien Planet depicting the Gyrosprinter.
# Series.{{Koreanosaurus}}: The Microraptor is pretty accurate, but the Velociraptor is scaly, with a few feathers. The Velociraptors also look very much like the ones from Jurassic Park III.
# Recap.HTFDiscoBearsHalloweenSmoochie: In "Caveman", Disco Bear, who has already been mangled by being stepped on by a T-Rex, is finished off by a raptor that's behind the door he's trick-or-treating at.
# Characters.FinalFantasyXIVTheEorzeanAlliance: Although Gridania prides itself on living in harmony with the Twelveswood, the forest itself is a terribly dangerous place for the unprepared. Prior to the Calamity, accruing "Woodsin", as in performing actions considered harmful to the forest (i.e. needlessly chopping a tree down or setting a forest fire on purpose), was enough to incur the elementals' wrath. The lucky ones get petrified. The unlucky ones are outright disintegrated. Even discounting the elementals, the Black Shroud is home to a host of highly dangerous creatures, including Big Creepy-Crawlies, various raptors, and very angry treants who will swat anyone who trespasses or disturb the wood.
# VideoGame.InazumaEleven: Chrono Stone features scaly and oversized Troodon who seem to have an enlarged toe rather than an enlarged sickle-claw.
# Characters.WarcraftWildGods: His native form is that of a giant, armored raptor.
# Trivia.JurassicPark: While the novel and film of Jurassic Park were part of a renewed surge of public interest in dinosaurs in the late 1980s and early 1990s (see The Land Before Time, for instance), the blockbuster success of the film once and for all cemented their pop culture image as intelligent and agile instead of dimwitted and slow. This reflected the Dinosaur Renaissance in paleontology which had started in the late 1960s, gained traction in the 1970s and inspired said surge by the 1980s. And the film also pretty much singlehandedly elevated Velociraptors to stock dinosaur status.
# Blog.AskAVelociraptor: Massively averted!
# YMMV.JurassicParkIII: Alan's bad dream. Sure it's Foreshadowing but it's still pretty random. The fact that it's a redesigned Velociraptor, rather than how they looked in first film only adds to the BLAM nature of the scene. While retrieving the phone, a Ceratosaurus approaches to the group. It's a pretty big predator and the audience expects it to attack, but it merely sniffs the heroes, smells the Spinosaur dung on them, then leaves. Even the human protagonists seem a wee bit confused.
# VideoGame.TotallyAccurateBattleSimulator: The Border Update adds the Raptors as a secret unit. They are very quick and tend to drag their victims with them as they find more. There is also a Raptor Rider added in as well.
# Film.LandOfTheLost: Scaly dromaeosaurs. Broken wrists on all the theropods. The Pteranodon has grasping feet.
# Recap.JurassicWorldCampCretaceousS3E04CleverGirl: Darius, Yaz and Kenji come across the ruins of the old Jurassic park visitor center, inside they discover that Blue the Velociraptor is nesting there and when she spots them, she proceeds to chase them out.
# EvenEvilHasStandards.LiveActionFilms: Dennis Nedry hacks into the computers of the eponymous park to deactivate the various systems and exhibits needed for him to steal and escape with the dinosaur embryos, leaving the staff and guests at the mercy of the more aggressive species and ultimately dooming the park. However, the one exhibit he does not deactivate is the Velociraptor paddock, showing that even a greedy mole like him knew how dangerous those dinosaurs were.
# Series.TerraNova: Instead of actual raptors, though, we get the slashers, which appear to be proceratosaurids. With tail barbs, for some reason. The only genuine raptors to appear are Nykoraptors, which resemble fairly-accurate Velociraptor-type dinosaurs. They aren't as dangerous as the slashers and have only a scarce few scenes.
# TheDreaded.LiveActionFilms: The Velociraptors are this. Remember that dark little tune that plays at the opening of the first film? It becomes their leitmotif, to the point that you'll hear it at the mere mention of Velociraptors, shortly followed by a barrage of Oh, Crap! and Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? reactions from everyone... including people who don't even know what a Velociraptor is. By the time of Jurassic World, even operators of the newly opened park have decided to keep the raptors out of tourist-accessible attractions; for comparison, it's perfectly okay for tourists to observe the infamous T. rex, highly aggressive Pteranodon, and a shark-eating Mosasaurus in the main park. Even after some success with training, it's still made clear by Fluffy Tamer Owen that his four imprinted raptors will happily kill anyone, including him if given the chance. They do.
# Characters.MonsterHunterFifthGenerationMonstersRise: After World broke the trend of raptor Bird Wyverns appearing as pack-hunting monsters, with pack hunting Fanged Wyverns taking their place, Great Izuchi marks a return to that trend.

The Knarloc's pack mentality and relative intelligence makes them ideal for domestication and their viciousness as hunters makes them ideal for combat. A good Knarloc is a source of prestige to other Kroot.
# VideoGame.{{Barotrauma}}: Mudraptors are a common enemy that resemble a cross between a dinosaur and a shrimp. They possess armored beaks to break into ship hulls, and powerful hind legs that allow them to walk upright and even run once they get inside.
# Fanfic.PrehistoricEarth: While not to the exaggerated extent usually associated with this trope, the park's repertoire of rescued animals include such creatures usually guilty of this trope as velociraptor, Utahraptor, and troodon.
# Characters.SuperRWBYSistersOCCharacters: The Sickle Claws, which are based on the Velociraptor.

# TheDreaded.LiveActionFilms: The Velociraptors are this. Remember that dark little tune that plays at the opening of the first film? It becomes their leitmotif, to the point that you'll hear it at the mere mention of Velociraptors, shortly followed by a barrage of Oh, Crap! and Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? reactions from everyone... including people who don't even know what a Velociraptor is. By the time of Jurassic World, even operators of the newly opened park have decided to keep the raptors out of tourist-accessible attractions; for comparison, it's perfectly okay for tourists to observe the infamous T. rex, highly aggressive Pteranodon, and a shark-eating Mosasaurus in the main park. Even after some success with training, it's still made clear by Fluffy Tamer Owen that his four imprinted raptors will happily kill anyone, including him if given the chance. They do.
# Characters.MonsterHunterFifthGenerationMonstersRise: After World broke the trend of raptor Bird Wyverns appearing as pack-hunting monsters, with pack hunting Fanged Wyverns taking their place, Great Izuchi marks a return to that trend.
# Characters.TeamFourStarNuzlockePlaythroughs: His name was meant to be a reference to non-avian raptors.

The Knarloc's pack mentality and relative intelligence makes them ideal for domestication and their viciousness as hunters makes them ideal for combat. A good Knarloc is a source of prestige to other Kroot.
# VideoGame.{{Barotrauma}}: Mudraptors are a common enemy that resemble a cross between a dinosaur and a shrimp. They possess armored beaks to break into ship hulls, and powerful hind legs that allow them to walk upright and even run once they get inside.
# Fanfic.PrehistoricEarth: While not to the exaggerated extent usually associated with this trope, the park's repertoire of rescued animals include such creatures usually guilty of this trope as velociraptor, Utahraptor, and troodon.
# Characters.SuperRWBYSistersOCCharacters: The Sickle Claws, which are based on the Velociraptor. In a similar fashion to the raptors featured in Jurassic Park, they're known to be quite dangerous, unpredictable, and intelligent predators that are smart enough to know how to pick off a group of Huntsmen one by one.

Ruby is as accurate as they come, complete with feathers and using her killing claw to pin down small prey as opposed to gutting bigger dinosaurs note (she does use them to hook on to an Alioramus's head, but the damage is negligible and it's a desperation move). Also, she's not a social pack hunter, something Blackburn rightfully associates is rare outside of larger carnivores and so far is only indicated in substantially bigger Dromaeosaur species like Utahraptor.
# YMMV.JurassicPark: The raptors in the franchise are well-known for not actually representing what Velociraptor looked like in real life, but the actual basis is often stated to be Utahraptor by fans. However, Utahraptor had only just been named in the same month the first movie was coming out, it would be basically impossible for them to be based on it considering production had started a year prior, as well as the fact Utahraptor is actually much larger than the films' raptors. In actuality, the Velociraptor are meant to Deinonychus (even if they are rather larger than real Deinonychus), the name change was due to the franchise citing Gregory Paul's text, Predatory Dinosaurs of the World, as its primary source, which made the controversial choice to lump Deinonychus into Velociraptor. This idea had few adherents even then, and none today, so the fact it was ever an idea at all is not very well known.

There's also the three hybrid species of Carnoraptors, Spinoraptors, and Metrialongs. Some of these creatures are feathered, to varying degrees of accuracy.The Indoraptor super hybrid also appears in this game.
# Toys.LegoDino: In contrast to the Pteranodon, the Velociraptor figure is wrong on every level. It is, like most raptors in media, essentially a Jurassic Park ripoff, and is therefore scaly, has kangaroo-hands, a short tail, and the head resembles that of an Allosaurus.

Because he was Spared by the Adaptation, when Michael Crichton wrote the sequel novel The Lost World with a movie adaptation in mind, he retconned the death so Ian could be the protagonist.

The raptors present in the game are explicitly a genetically engineered and enhanced genus known as the Novaraptor which is explicitly noted to be much more aggressive than any real dromaeosaur would've been. It's noted to come in two species, a featherless version resembling the typical archetype invented by Jurassic Park, and a feathered version (this is purely cosmetic in terms of gameplay).

Also, she's not a social pack hunter, something Blackburn rightfully associates is rare outside of larger carnivores and so far is only indicated in substantially bigger Dromaeosaur species like Utahraptor.
# YMMV.JurassicPark: The raptors in the franchise are well-known for not actually representing whatscary looking Velociraptor looked but he's a good guy. (But woe to any one who threatens his friends) As his mother was a human, he has long black hair to complete his Magical Native American look. He is a shaman and is kind like in real life, but the actual basis is often stated to be Utahraptor by fans. However, Utahraptor had only just been named in the same month the first movie was coming out, it would be basically impossible for them to be based on it considering production had started a year prior, as well as the fact Utahraptor is actually much larger than the films' raptors. In actuality, the Velociraptor are meant to Deinonychus (even if they are rather larger than real Deinonychus), the name change was due to the franchise citing Gregory Paul's text, Predatory Dinosaurs of the World, as its primary source, which made the controversial choice to lump Deinonychus into Velociraptor. This idea had few adherents even then, and none today, so the fact it was ever an idea at all is not very well known.
# CondemnedByHistory.LiveActionTV: Jurassic Fight Club was moderately popular when it debuted in 2008, as far as dinosaur documentaries go.

There's also the three hybrid species of Carnoraptors, Spinoraptors, and Metrialongs. Some of these creatures are feathered, to varying degrees of accuracy.The Indoraptor super hybrid also appears in this game.
# Toys.LegoDino: In contrast to the Pteranodon, the VelociraptorMentor figure is wrong on every level. It is, like most raptors in media, essentially a Jurassic Park ripoff, and is therefore scaly, has kangaroo-hands, a short tail, and the head resembles that of an Allosaurus. There is also the size-issue, though engineering such a figure on a smaller scale would have been difficult.

# BreakoutCharacter.{{Film}}: Jurassic Park films: The original Jurassic Park made [[RaptorAttack Velociraptor]] a stock dinosaur. Jurassic Park III did the sametreatment thing for Spinosaurus. Among the human characters, Deadpan Snarker and Female Gaze magnet Dr. Ian Malcolm was this. Because he was Spared by the Adaptation, when Michael Crichton wrote the sequel novel The Lost World with a movie adaptation in mind, he retconned the death so Ian could be the protagonist.

# Characters.StevenUniverseGemMonsters: Her feathers, bird feet, sharp teeth and "It Can Think" qualities are reminiscent of this trope.
# Funny.PalaeOhNo: The streaker's comment on his nudism and reference to modern Fan Dumb. Streaker: “Oh come on! You may make fun of me now, but someday, someday, people will come to love and appreciate troodonts with useful hands and smooth skin, even if it takes a GODDAMN 70 MILLION YEARS!!!” Also some of the other Take That! comments to the RaptorAttack trope.
# VideoGame.DinoRun: Although heavily stylized, concept art of Dino Run 2 shows that the original raptor player character is meant to be a Jurassic Park-style dromaeosaurid, with featherless skin and pronated hands. However, the same concept art also shows that Dino Run 2 will feature a playable Deinonychus that is depicted more in line with current scientific understanding.

# YMMV.MF217: Enter the Dragonfly known simply as the "R-1000", which matches many of the characteristics of the Liquiraptors beat for beat. The main reason they're rarely known in comparison to the T-1000 has to do with the fact they only show up in the last level of the game and are otherwise out of your way from the normal route of the level.
# WebVideo.PokemonAmber: Fleetwi and its later evolutions are based on feathered raptors while the spliced Fleetwi and later evolutions are based on the now debunked featherless raptors. The latter are more willing to ignore the commands of their Trainers. Primal Archen and Archeops, while based on the Archaeopteryx also has inspirations from Microraptor. Two Pokemon based on the Troodontidae line are Troazolt, a fully completed genetic clone of the upper half of Dracozolt and Arctozolt, and Trusetis.
# FragileSpeedster.VideoGames: Bird Wyverns such as the Great Jaggi or Yian Kut-ku move very fast and unpredictably, but have thin hides and don't take much to kill.
# ArtisticLicensePaleontology.{{Toys}}: the Pteranodon has a toothless beak, most of the theropods have non-pronated hands, the Spinosaurus is larger than the Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor is accurately sized, etc. The only real caveat is the lack of feathers on the deinonychosaurs.note And the nostrils atop the Brachiosaurus's head, but that one's a bit more technical. The Pteranodon does have one major error, though: Digitigrade feet used for perching in trees. Pteranodon had plantigrade feet and lived mostly on the ground when it wasn't flying. At least the resulting visuals are impressive◊.
# YMMV.SporeWikiFictionUniverse: All Capricornians gained the moniker of Waptors after bearing a very strong resemblance to the raptor genus of dinosaur.
# VideoGame.SpellForce2: Archetypical raptors are a common sight on most desert maps and sometimes even in arctic regions.
# Recap.DoctorWhoS33E2DinosaursOnASpaceship: A whole pack of them make a run on the Doctor's position. They are fended off by Amy and Riddell carrying stun guns.
# WorthyOpponent.LiveActionFilms: The last words of Robert Muldoon in Jurassic Park have him acknowledging a Velociraptor as this after she manages to ambush him while he's trying to shoot her comrade. Muldoon: Clever girl. A deleted scene from The Lost World: Jurassic Park reveals that Roland Tembo seeks to hunt a Tyrannosaurus rex for this reason, as he has gotten so good at hunting traditional big game across the world that he feels it is no longer sportsmanlike. Roland Tembo: Somewhere on this island is the greatest predator who ever lived. The second greatest predator must take him down. Jurassic World has T. rex and Blue the Velociraptor share a look after the Indominus rex is ultimately defeated. They nod once and then go their separate ways.

# PokedexOfTropes.SToZ: Staraptor Attack
# WesternAnimation.ValleyOfTheDinosaurs: Zig-zagged. While no dromaeosaurids ever show up since they haven't been made stock yet, the series does have Archaeopteryx usually playing the role of Disturbed Doves.
# Series.ReallyWildAnimals: Dromaeosaurus (reusing the Deinonychus footage from Dinosaur! (1985)) and Utahraptor both appear in "Dinosaurs and Other Creature Features".
# OurDemonsAreDifferent.{{Literature}}: The Traitor Son Cycle has two types of beings that people call "demons".Quethnethogs, as they call themselves, are actually Wild creatures that look like large dromaeosaurids with opposable thumbs and emit a fear-inducing aura as a weapon - which is why they became known as demons. Any creatures that possesses other creatures is known as a demon, even if it was human in life.
# Literature.{{Expedition}}: The pack-hunting Prongheads, frequently compared to the prehistoric dromeosaurs. The Daggerwrist also looks and acts a lot like a Jurassic Park-style "Velociraptor". Some (thankfully feathered) Velociraptor appear briefly in a scene in Alien Planet depicting the Gyrosprinter.
# Series.{{Koreanosaurus}}: The Microraptor is pretty accurate, but the Velociraptor is scaly, with a few feathers. The Velociraptors also look very much like the ones from Jurassic Park III.
# Recap.HTFDiscoBearsHalloweenSmoochie: In "Caveman", Disco Bear, who has already been mangled by being stepped on by a T-Rex, is finished off by a raptor that's behind the door he's trick-or-treating at.
# Characters.FinalFantasyXIVTheEorzeanAlliance: Although Gridania prides itself on living in harmony with the Twelveswood, the forest itself is a terribly dangerous place for the unprepared. Prior to the Calamity, accruing "Woodsin", as in performing actions considered harmful to the forest (i.e. needlessly chopping a tree down or setting a forest fire on purpose), was enough to incur the elementals' wrath. The lucky ones get petrified. The unlucky ones are outright disintegrated. Even discounting the elementals, the Black Shroud is home to a host of highly dangerous creatures, including Big Creepy-Crawlies, various raptors, and very angry treants who will swat anyone who trespasses or disturb the wood.
# VideoGame.InazumaEleven: Chrono Stone features scaly and oversized Troodon who seem to have an enlarged toe rather than an enlarged sickle-claw.
# Characters.WarcraftWildGods: His native form is that of a giant, armored raptor.
# Trivia.JurassicPark: While the novel and film of Jurassic Park were part of a renewed surge of public interest in dinosaurs in the late 1980s and early 1990s (see The Land Before Time, for instance), the blockbuster success of the film once and for all cemented their pop culture image as intelligent and agile instead of dimwitted and slow. This reflected the Dinosaur Renaissance in paleontology which had started in the late 1960s, gained traction in the 1970s and inspired said surge by the 1980s. And the film also pretty much singlehandedly elevated Velociraptors to stock dinosaur status.
# Blog.AskAVelociraptor: Massively averted!
# YMMV.JurassicParkIII: Alan's bad dream. Sure it's Foreshadowing but it's still pretty random. The fact that it's a redesigned Velociraptor, rather than how they looked in first film only adds to the BLAM nature of the scene. While retrieving the phone, a Ceratosaurus approaches to the group. It's a pretty big predator and the audience expects it to attack, but it merely sniffs the heroes, smells the Spinosaur dung on them, then leaves. Even the human protagonists seem a wee bit confused.
# VideoGame.TotallyAccurateBattleSimulator: The Border Update adds the Raptors as a secret unit. They are very quick and tend to drag their victims with them as they find more. There is also a Raptor Rider added in as well.
# Film.LandOfTheLost: Scaly dromaeosaurs. Broken wrists on all the theropods. The Pteranodon has grasping feet.
# Recap.JurassicWorldCampCretaceousS3E04CleverGirl: Darius, Yaz and Kenji come across the ruins of the old Jurassic park visitor center, inside they discover that Blue the Velociraptor is nesting there and when she spots them, she proceeds to chase them out.
# EvenEvilHasStandards.LiveActionFilms: Dennis Nedry hacks into the computers of the eponymous park to deactivate the various systems and exhibits needed for him to steal and escape with the dinosaur embryos, leaving the staff and guests at the mercy of the more aggressive species and ultimately dooming the park. However, the one exhibit he does not deactivate is the Velociraptor paddock, showing that even a greedy mole like him knew how dangerous those dinosaurs were.
# Series.TerraNova: Instead of actual raptors, though, we get the slashers, which appear to be proceratosaurids. With tail barbs, for some reason. The only genuine raptors to appear are Nykoraptors, which resemble fairly-accurate Velociraptor-type dinosaurs. They aren't as dangerous as the slashers and have only a scarce few scenes.
# TheDreaded.LiveActionFilms: The Velociraptors are this. Remember that dark little tune that plays at the opening of the first film? It becomes their leitmotif, to the point that you'll hear it at the mere mention of Velociraptors, shortly followed by a barrage of Oh, Crap! and Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? reactions from everyone... including people who don't even know what a Velociraptor is. By the time of Jurassic World, even operators of the newly opened park have decided to keep the raptors out of tourist-accessible attractions; for comparison, it's perfectly okay for tourists to observe the infamous T. rex, highly aggressive Pteranodon, and a shark-eating Mosasaurus in the main park. Even after some success with training, it's still made clear by Fluffy Tamer Owen that his four imprinted raptors will happily kill anyone, including him if given the chance. They do.
# Characters.MonsterHunterFifthGenerationMonstersRise: After World broke the trend of raptor Bird Wyverns appearing as pack-hunting monsters, with pack hunting Fanged Wyverns taking their place, Great Izuchi marks a return to that trend.
# Characters.TeamFourStarNuzlockePlaythroughs: His name was meant to be a reference to non-avian raptors.
# Characters.Warhammer40000TauEmpire: Knarlocs, which are Kroot-derived pack-hunting beasts that walk on two legs and use their short forearms to grasp prey,note Think of the popular conception of velociraptors for a good visualization of it. are often used as cavalry mounts by the Kroot. The Knarloc's pack mentality and relative intelligence makes them ideal for domestication and their viciousness as hunters makes them ideal for combat. A good Knarloc is a source of prestige to other Kroot.
# VideoGame.{{Barotrauma}}: Mudraptors are a common enemy that resemble a cross between a dinosaur and a shrimp. They possess armored beaks to break into ship hulls, and powerful hind legs that allow them to walk upright and even run once they get inside.
# Fanfic.PrehistoricEarth: While not to the exaggerated extent usually associated with this trope, the park's repertoire of rescued animals include such creatures usually guilty of this trope as velociraptor, Utahraptor, and troodon.
# Characters.SuperRWBYSistersOCCharacters: The Sickle Claws, which are based on the Velociraptor. In a similar fashion to the raptors featured in Jurassic Park, they're known to be quite dangerous, unpredictable, and intelligent predators that are smart enough to know how to pick off a group of Huntsmen one by one.

# Characters.PrimevalAmerica: Averted, he's very accurately detailed. * Team Pet: Comes with being an expy of Rex.
# Recap.TheSimpsonsS23E6TheBookJob: The dromaeosaurids at the dinosaur show are Jurassic Park-styled. Justified in that they are just costumes.
# LethalLavaLand.PlatformGame: Jurassic Park (Console), most of the Raptor's levels and the first of the Rex's take place in the middle of a forest fire.
# VideoGame.TokyoJungle: The Deinonychus, one of the only two playable dinosaurs, are depicted as featherless. The Archaeopteryx mostly avert this, aside from the yellow coloring of their plumage.

# Website.YTMND: Raptor Jesus, stolen from 4chan and made into a Leet Speaking Cloud Cuckoo Lander who occasionally liked the flesh of his followers.
# Series.PlanetOfDinosaurs: This time played straight, but only because of Science Marches On. The pack of Dromaeosaurus jumps on a much heavier Parasaurolophus and kills it during a stormy night near the end of the 2nd episode. At the start of it, however, the relative Deinonychus appears as solitary and not-hunting — with the traveler saying that when it does hunt in pack "it's like being attacked by a pack of large dobermann dogs armed with sickles".
# Characters.MetroidTheMetroids: In the Zeta phase, Metroids heavily resemble raptors.
# Film.AgeOfDinosaurs: Strangely, the Carnotaurus is depicted this way. Carnotaurus wasn't a dromaeosaur nor was it particularly closely related to them.
# VideoGame.JurassicParkSegaMasterSystem: The Velociraptor is the boss of the power station. In a nod to the intelligence it displays in the movie, it comes out of one of the various doors on its arena, attacks and then retreats to start the process over.
# WesternAnimation.TheLegoMovie2TheSecondPart: Rex's raptors are much taller than him, featherless, and most of them have a blue and green color scheme.
# YMMV.DinoStrikeWii: SpiritualAdaptation: The entire game's depiction to dinosaurs is closer to the Jurassic Park franchise than in real-life, from their acid-spitting dilophosaurusues to their depiction of a RaptorAttack lifted straight out of previous Jurassic Park arcade games. Even the gate on title screen is lifted from the first Jurassic Park film!
# Characters.PlanetDinosaur: Despite its name and size being evocative of (pop culture) Velociraptor, it is more related to Allosaurus.
# Webcomic.ParryAndCarney: Averted! Especially notable considering that some of the deinonychosaurs in this comic appeared way back in 2005.
# YMMV.SpecklesTheTarbosaurus: The Velociraptor don’t fare much better, as they are presented as ravenous Fearless Fools who just live to kill everything in sight. When Blue Eyes and a giant sauropod die right next to each other, hundreds of raptors gather but instead of going for the two giant corpses ripe for the taking, they try to kill Speckles' children and repeatedly attack the adult Tarbosaurus and refuse to withdraw even after he kills dozens of them, with some even running straight into his mouth.Their designs don’t help matters, being mostly scaly but having a mane of feathers that looks an awful lot like Anime Hair.
# VideoGame.TheMagicSchoolBus: Explores the Age of Dinosaur has dromaeosaurs and troodonts that are featherless, due to the information at the time. On the other hand, Archaeopteryx is correctly identified as a dinosaur.
# Characters.TheGoodDinosaur: A pack of vicious raptors. They do have some feathers, though not quite as much as the ones in real life. They are also much bigger than any Velociraptor by being around the same size as Arlo. At least they have the slender bodies real Velociraptors had. Ironically, they also break the stereotype of raptors being Genius Bruisers; if anything, the raptors here seem to be the dumbest of the dinosaurs in the cast.
# Literature.PrimevalExtinctionEvent: Several Troodons appear in the novel, and are compared to the raptors that the team had encountered in the previous book, PrimevalTheLostIsland The Lost Island. They kill Tim Jenkins, one of the British SAS soldiers accompanying Jenny Lewis and Helen Cutter on their journey to Russia to retrieve the kidnapped Nick Cutter, Abby Maitland, and Connor Temple, in the Cretaceous, and later, they attack Jake Hemple and Jenny Lewis when they are trapped in the wreckage of a car that had been demolished by an Ankylosaurus.
# Website.{{Serina}}: The banshees are essentially re-evolved velociraptors, with sickle claws on their feet, long balancing tails, and wings modified into claws for grabbing prey. They resemble accurate dromaeosaurs save for having a serrated beak and barbed tongue instead of a toothed snout. The viridescent sawjaw has convergently evolved to resemble a Velociraptor save for their sawing jaws and rabbit-like ears.
# VideoGame.FlightRising: The game features a number of dragon breeds based on a variety of mythical and animal sources, including and not limited to Guardians, which look like traditional Western dragons, the more Eastern-styled Imperials, serpentine Spirals, raptor-based Wildclaws, and Obelisks who are basically just Asian Lion Dogs.
# TabletopGame.MyriadSong: Troödons, despite the name, look very much like the stereotypical raptor. They do bear some notable differences, such as feathers on their heads, prehensile hands, and being warm-blooded.
# Fanon.JurassicPark: Another common theory is that the little boy who Grant gave the infamous RaptorAttack Speech to in the first film was actually a young Owen Grady. However, it’s hard to say if any of the theory’s followers are actually serious or just joke about it. As of Dominion, though, this has probably been debunked—Grant and Grady meet face-to-face and nothing suggests that they had known each other in any way before this.
# Fanfic.KaijuRevolution: Raptor Attack The Venatoraptors at first appear to fit the bill due to their apparently scaly bodies but the scales are actually derived from feathers that have evolved to form a lightweight natural armor. The feathers on their arms even evolved into quills that they use to ensnare prey. Gaw is a tyrannical raptor kaiju who controls several of the venatoraptor tribes and seeks to rule Skull Island with an iron fist.
# Laconic.RaptorAttack: Edit Page
# Characters.TheLegendOfTarzan: They are clearly modeled after the velociraptors in Jurassic Park as they are featherless and man-sized. One could possibly justify their differences from the real-life animal as being a case of Speculative Biology from 65 million years of continued evolution.
# Literature.SpaceCadetRvbomally: The Kerdin are a civilisation of sentient Jurassic Park style Raptors. A fair number of them are feathered though.
# Series.TheTruthAboutKillerDinosaurs: Subverted with the Velociraptor.
# Characters.{{Prehistoria}}: Averted to the moon and back. Ruby is as accurate as they come, complete with feathers and using her killing claw to pin down small prey as opposed to gutting bigger dinosaurs note (she does use them to hook on to an Alioramus's head, but the damage is negligible and it's a desperation move). Also, she's not a social pack hunter, something Blackburn rightfully associates is rare outside of larger carnivores and so far is only indicated in substantially bigger Dromaeosaur species like Utahraptor.
# YMMV.JurassicPark: The raptors in the franchise are well-known for not actually representing what Velociraptor looked like in real life, but the actual basis is often stated to be Utahraptor by fans. However, Utahraptor had only just been named in the same month the first movie was coming out, it would be basically impossible for them to be based on it considering production had started a year prior, as well as the fact Utahraptor is actually much larger than the films' raptors. In actuality, the Velociraptor are meant to Deinonychus (even if they are rather larger than real Deinonychus), the name change was due to the franchise citing Gregory Paul's text, Predatory Dinosaurs of the World, as its primary source, which made the controversial choice to lump Deinonychus into Velociraptor. This idea had few adherents even then, and none today, so the fact it was ever an idea at all is not very well known.
# CondemnedByHistory.LiveActionTV: Jurassic Fight Club was moderately popular when it debuted in 2008, as far as dinosaur documentaries go. But following the growing number of paleontology enthusiasts voicing their opinions online, resulting in increased awareness of paleontological media such as this series and Monsters Resurrectednote Which while similarly disparaged, does have enough redeeming factors to avoid this trope misusing the genre for the sake of sensationalist content with an emphasis on gratuitous violence (known as "Awesomebro" in the community) instead of actually educating people about prehistoric wildlife and further perpetuating the Prehistoric Monster stereotype, as well as its lax attitude towards scientific accuracy (such as being a major offender of many RaptorAttack cliches), Jurassic Fight Club became scorned, with many people who watched it and enjoyed it as kids being very critical of it once they grew older.
# VideoGame.JurassicWorldTheGame: Velociraptor, shows up, of course, but there's also other dromaeosaurids like Utahraptor, Pyroraptor, and Deinonychus. Troodon and Guanlong show up too, using the Velociraptor animations, although the former is of a similar but very different branch called the troodontids, while the latter isn't even closely related, being a tyrannosaur. There's also the three hybrid species of Carnoraptors, Spinoraptors, and Metrialongs. Some of these creatures are feathered, to varying degrees of accuracy.The Indoraptor super hybrid also appears in this game.
# Toys.LegoDino: In contrast to the Pteranodon, the Velociraptor figure is wrong on every level. It is, like most raptors in media, essentially a Jurassic Park ripoff, and is therefore scaly, has kangaroo-hands, a short tail, and the head resembles that of an Allosaurus. There is also the size-issue, though engineering such a figure on a smaller scale would have been difficult.
# Recap.StarTrekEnterpriseS04E18InAMirrorDarkly: Mentioned when Kelby is found killed by what Phlox describes as "a particularly large reptile" that turns out to be a Gorn: Reed: Perhaps it was a pet, owned by one of the original crew. Phlox: Unless one of them owned a Velociraptor, I find that extremely unlikely.
# Series.{{Prehistoric}}: Deinonychus (feathered improperly, but still feathered) takes down a Tenontosaurus (at least this is physically possible, unlike the same species trying to kill a sauropod).
# ShownTheirWork.WebOriginal: Deinonychusaurs and troodontids are properly feathered and act like birds rather than leaning in to RaptorAttack cliches.
# BreakoutCharacter.{{Film}}: The original Jurassic Park made Velociraptor a stock dinosaur. Jurassic Park III did the same thing for Spinosaurus. Among the human characters, Deadpan Snarker and Female Gaze magnet Dr. Ian Malcolm was this. Because he was Spared by the Adaptation, when Michael Crichton wrote the sequel novel The Lost World with a movie adaptation in mind, he retconned the death so Ian could be the protagonist. Although his appearance in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was a glorified Bookends cameo, it was heavily featured in the advertising campaign.
# Characters.MonsterHunterFirstGenerationMonsters: They're even named after velociraptors.
# Film.DinosaurHotel: One of the dinosaurs the contestants need to survive against is a raptor. It manages to claim the lives of Sam and Zara.
# VideoGame.PrimalCarnage: Justified via Hand Wave in-universe. The raptors present in the game are explicitly a genetically engineered and enhanced genus known as the Novaraptor which is explicitly noted to be much more aggressive than any real dromaeosaur would've been. It's noted to come in two species, a featherless version resembling the typical archetype invented by Jurassic Park, and a feathered version (this is purely cosmetic in terms of gameplay).
# Characters.{{Gigantosaurus}}: Well, obviously. They avert the usual stereotype of raptors being highly intelligent, however, with Totor being The Ditz.
# FinalFantasyXIV.TropesGToI: InformedSpecies: The "Deinonychus" mount. It looks nothing like a Deinonychus, not even the RaptorAttack variety. For starters, it has a face like a dog, complete with ears, as well as tiny bat-like wings in place of arms. It doesn't even have sickle claws.
# NightmareFuel.VideoGames: 1916 - Der Unbekannte Krieg by Kriegsgraben and Stormvogel is a first-person survival horror game about a soldier who is trying to escape from the trenches which are crawling with beings that vaguely resemble white-eyed Raptors. The worst part? You don't have any weapons to fight them off! The only thing you can do is throw some severed limbs at them to slow them down.
# VideoGame.TheHunterPrimal: Velociraptors appear in the game, but as the turkey-sized small predators they were in real life. Horse-sized Utahraptors also appear and fulfill the role of your primary predator threat in the game.
# Franchise.TombRaider: Velociraptor are featured in Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider III, and Anniversary. As usual, they modeled after Jurassic Park's raptors, although Anniversary gives them quill-like feathers on their heads, backs, and arms.
# Theatre.HalloweenHorrorNights: 2002's JP Extinction scarezone and Project Evilution house featured scareactors dressed as the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park.
# YMMV.ClashOfTheDinosaurs: While not without its flaws, many agree that it's a much more enjoyable experience than its predecessor, due to providing a clear-cut narrative that emphasizes the dinosaurs' plight during the K-Pg extinction and the horrific nature of this catastrophic extinction event.
# VideoGame.{{Turok}}: The most common dinosaur enemy in the first game and one of the first enemies you'll face is the Raptor. Once you reach The Lost Lands, they'll come equipped with plasma guns.
# WhatCouldHaveBeen.PrehistoricParkReimagined: Speaking of Return of the King, the anzu wyliei were initially planned by A-LionGleek to have already set up a nesting ground and laid eggs, but Nathanoraptor chose to have them simply be in the midst of mating season instead for the sake of pacing. For similar reasons, Nathanoraptor also chose to delete his originally planned idea of the wounded Cirrus the Quetzalcoatlus to end up menaced by Duke's pack before his rescue when he realized the chapter was getting too long while said idea was present within the story.
# DarthWiki.SecretsOfTheXenoscope: Averted. Deinonychus appears throughout the story, but it is correctly shown with feathers.
# Animation.SpecklesTheTarbosaurus: Sparsely-feathered raptors and scaly Therizinosaurus, both of which would have likely been heavily feathered over all or most of their body.
# Literature.AllTomorrows: The Striders were hunted to extinction by vicious raptor-like predators descended from chickens.
# ComicBook.DarkwingDuck: Issue 3 of the Joe Books series has Bushhroot and Dr. Fossil creating plant-Velociraptor hybrids (with a leafy covering resembling feathers), which Gosalyn enlarges by spraying them with water.
# PlayingWith.AnimalAthleteLoophole: The leader of the Opposing Sports Team gets a violent predator (like a velociraptor) to play defense. The other teams decide to allow touchdowns rather than risk being torn apart.
# Characters.AtomicRobo: He's about twice the size of and looks nothing like his supposed species, Dromeosaurus albertensis, but given everything else about him, it'd probably make less sense for him to look like an actual dinosaur.
# InformedSpecies.AnimatedFilms: The large theropod featured in the "Rite of Spring" segment of Fantasia is supposed to be a Tyrannosaurus rex, but it looks more like an Allosaurus instead, with a blocky head, prominent pointed brow ridges and three claws on each hand. Amusingly, it's shown fighting a Stegosaurus, which lived millions of years before the T. rex but indeed coexisted with Allosaurus, so having simply made it an Allosaurus to begin with would have been more accurate.From the same sequence, there is a small theropod dinosaur with a domed head, shown chasing an Archaeopteryx. It's often believed to be an Ornitholestes (which was commonly shown attacking Archaeopteryx in contemporary paleo-art), a Compsognathus (because of its small size), or even a Velociraptor. What is it meant to be, according to the script? A Troodon. This one actually makes sense if you know that, at the time, Troodon was considered to be a pachycephalosaur, which explains its oddly-shaped head.
# Literature.KongKingOfSkullIsland: The most dangerous predators on the island are an odd dromaeosaur species; the Slashers are fast, feathered roughly wolf-sized theropods, who are led by the bigger, smarter Deathrunner subspecies. The Deathrunners themselves are led by Gaw, an absolutely gigantic Deathrunner of unparalleled strength and intellect among their species.
# PlayingWith.PrehistoricMonster: A velociraptor is depicted as a scaly, naked reptile with lizard-like eyes, drooling fangs and a bloodthirsty disposition.
# Recap.MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur2023S1E2TheBoroughBully: A silhouette of a Jurassic Park-styled raptor appears during the song sequence.
# Characters.HowToTrainYourDragonFilmsDragonSpecies: With their super speed and pack hunting, they act like dragon raptors.
# Characters.WarhammerAgeOfSigmarGrandAllianceOrder: The Order Serpentis' Drakespawn bear a strong resemblance to real life dromaeosaurid dinosaurs.
# ZergRush.RealLife: Dromaeosaurs (or more commonly known as "raptors"), but especially Deinonychus, became famous for their hunting strategy which is extremely similar to that of wolves, and almost every depiction of these dinosaurs shows them savagely mobbing and overwhelming huge plant-eaters. But Science Marches On, and after people have realized this whole theory had been based on more wishful thinking than actual fossil evidence, it has gradually lost its credibility. Then someone claimed to have found support for the idea of pack-hunting among giant theropods, like tyrannosaurids... Science Marches On back the way it came, however! There's at least one fossil trackway evidently made by deinonychosaurs that clearly demonstrates cooperative travelling, which means that the theory of pack-hunting raptors is still plausible. This article explains it all.
# Fanfic.{{Pokedex}}: In-universe, Archen were given the same treatment as raptors in real life, being regularly portrayed at grossly exaggerated sizes, as being able to open locked doors, and as bloodthirsty man-eaters.
# Recap.JusticeLeagueActionS1E31BoostersGold: Green Arrow is attacked by a pack of Jurassic Park-like raptors after he arrives on the island. Apparently, they're so dangerous that Booster Gold decided to leave them out of the park. That said, a similar but smaller species is also present in the park.
# YMMV.MF217: Enter the Dragonfly known simply as the "R-1000", which matches many of the characteristics of the Liquiraptors beat for beat. The main reason they're rarely known in comparison to the T-1000 has to do with the fact they only show up in the last level of the game and are otherwise out of your way from the normal route of the level.
# WebVideo.PokemonAmber: Fleetwi and its later evolutions are based on feathered raptors while the spliced Fleetwi and later evolutions are based on the now debunked featherless raptors. The latter are more willing to ignore the commands of their Trainers. Primal Archen and Archeops, while based on the Archaeopteryx also has inspirations from Microraptor. Two Pokemon based on the Troodontidae line are Troazolt, a fully completed genetic clone of the upper half of Dracozolt and Arctozolt, and Trusetis.
# FragileSpeedster.VideoGames: Bird Wyverns such as the Great Jaggi or Yian Kut-ku move very fast and unpredictably, but have thin hides and don't take much to kill.
# ArtisticLicensePaleontology.{{Toys}}: the Pteranodon has a toothless beak, most of the theropods have non-pronated hands, the Spinosaurus is larger than the Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor is accurately sized, etc. The only real caveat is the lack of feathers on the deinonychosaurs.note And the nostrils atop the Brachiosaurus's head, but that one's a bit more technical. The Pteranodon does have one major error, though: Digitigrade feet used for perching in trees. Pteranodon had plantigrade feet and lived mostly on the ground when it wasn't flying. At least the resulting visuals are impressive◊.
# YMMV.SporeWikiFictionUniverse: All Capricornians gained the moniker of Waptors after bearing a very strong resemblance to the raptor genus of dinosaur.
# VideoGame.SpellForce2: Archetypical raptors are a common sight on most desert maps and sometimes even in arctic regions.
# Recap.DoctorWhoS33E2DinosaursOnASpaceship: A whole pack of them make a run on the Doctor's position. They are fended off by Amy and Riddell carrying stun guns.
# WorthyOpponent.LiveActionFilms: The last words of Robert Muldoon in Jurassic Park have him acknowledging a Velociraptor as this after she manages to ambush him while he's trying to shoot her comrade. Muldoon: Clever girl. A deleted scene from The Lost World: Jurassic Park reveals that Roland Tembo seeks to hunt a Tyrannosaurus rex for this reason, as he has gotten so good at hunting traditional big game across the world that he feels it is no longer sportsmanlike. Roland Tembo: Somewhere on this island is the greatest predator who ever lived. The second greatest predator must take him down. Jurassic World has T. rex and Blue the Velociraptor share a look after the Indominus rex is ultimately defeated. They nod once and then go their separate ways.

# PokedexOfTropes.SToZ: Staraptor Attack
# WesternAnimation.ValleyOfTheDinosaurs: Zig-zagged. While no dromaeosaurids ever show up since they haven't been made stock yet, the series does have Archaeopteryx usually playing the role of Disturbed Doves.
# Series.ReallyWildAnimals: Dromaeosaurus (reusing the Deinonychus footage from Dinosaur! (1985)) and Utahraptor both appear in "Dinosaurs and Other Creature Features".
# OurDemonsAreDifferent.{{Literature}}: The Traitor Son Cycle has two types of beings that people call "demons".Quethnethogs, as they call themselves, are actually Wild creatures that look like large dromaeosaurids with opposable thumbs and emit a fear-inducing aura as a weapon - which is why they became known as demons. Any creatures that possesses other creatures is known as a demon, even if it was human in life.
# Literature.{{Expedition}}: The pack-hunting Prongheads, frequently compared to the prehistoric dromeosaurs. The Daggerwrist also looks and acts a lot like a Jurassic Park-style "Velociraptor". Some (thankfully feathered) Velociraptor appear briefly in a scene in Alien Planet depicting the Gyrosprinter.
# Series.{{Koreanosaurus}}: The Microraptor is pretty accurate, but the Velociraptor is scaly, with a few feathers. The Velociraptors also look very much like the ones from Jurassic Park III.
# Recap.HTFDiscoBearsHalloweenSmoochie: In "Caveman", Disco Bear, who has already been mangled by being stepped on by a T-Rex, is finished off by a raptor that's behind the door he's trick-or-treating at.
# Characters.FinalFantasyXIVTheEorzeanAlliance: Although Gridania prides itself on living in harmony with the Twelveswood, the forest itself is a terribly dangerous place for the unprepared. Prior to the Calamity, accruing "Woodsin", as in performing actions considered harmful to the forest (i.e. needlessly chopping a tree down or setting a forest fire on purpose), was enough to incur the elementals' wrath. The lucky ones get petrified. The unlucky ones are outright disintegrated. Even discounting the elementals, the Black Shroud is home to a host of highly dangerous creatures, including Big Creepy-Crawlies, various raptors, and very angry treants who will swat anyone who trespasses or disturb the wood.
# VideoGame.InazumaEleven: Chrono Stone features scaly and oversized Troodon who seem to have an enlarged toe rather than an enlarged sickle-claw.
# Characters.WarcraftWildGods: His native form is that of a giant, armored raptor.
# Trivia.JurassicPark: While the novel and film of Jurassic Park were part of a renewed surge of public interest in dinosaurs in the late 1980s and early 1990s (see The Land Before Time, for instance), the blockbuster success of the film once and for all cemented their pop culture image as intelligent and agile instead of dimwitted and slow. This reflected the Dinosaur Renaissance in paleontology which had started in the late 1960s, gained traction in the 1970s and inspired said surge by the 1980s. And the film also pretty much singlehandedly elevated Velociraptors to stock dinosaur status.
# Blog.AskAVelociraptor: Massively averted!
# YMMV.JurassicParkIII: Alan's bad dream. Sure it's Foreshadowing but it's still pretty random. The fact that it's a redesigned Velociraptor, rather than how they looked in first film only adds to the BLAM nature of the scene. While retrieving the phone, a Ceratosaurus approaches to the group. It's a pretty big predator and the audience expects it to attack, but it merely sniffs the heroes, smells the Spinosaur dung on them, then leaves. Even the human protagonists seem a wee bit confused.
# VideoGame.TotallyAccurateBattleSimulator: The Border Update adds the Raptors as a secret unit. They are very quick and tend to drag their victims with them as they find more. There is also a Raptor Rider added in as well.
# Film.LandOfTheLost: Scaly dromaeosaurs. Broken wrists on all the theropods. The Pteranodon has grasping feet.
# Recap.JurassicWorldCampCretaceousS3E04CleverGirl: Darius, Yaz and Kenji come across the ruins of the old Jurassic park visitor center, inside they discover that Blue the Velociraptor is nesting there and when she spots them, she proceeds to chase them out.
# EvenEvilHasStandards.LiveActionFilms: Dennis Nedry hacks into the computers of the eponymous park to deactivate the various systems and exhibits needed for him to steal and escape with the dinosaur embryos, leaving the staff and guests at the mercy of the more aggressive species and ultimately dooming the park. However, the one exhibit he does not deactivate is the Velociraptor paddock, showing that even a greedy mole like him knew how dangerous those dinosaurs were.
# Series.TerraNova: Instead of actual raptors, though, we get the slashers, which appear to be proceratosaurids. With tail barbs, for some reason. The only genuine raptors to appear are Nykoraptors, which resemble fairly-accurate Velociraptor-type dinosaurs. They aren't as dangerous as the slashers and have only a scarce few scenes.
# TheDreaded.LiveActionFilms: The Velociraptors are this. Remember that dark little tune that plays at the opening of the first film? It becomes their leitmotif, to the point that you'll hear it at the mere mention of Velociraptors, shortly followed by a barrage of Oh, Crap! and Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? reactions from everyone... including people who don't even know what a Velociraptor is. By the time of Jurassic World, even operators of the newly opened park have decided to keep the raptors out of tourist-accessible attractions; for comparison, it's perfectly okay for tourists to observe the infamous T. rex, highly aggressive Pteranodon, and a shark-eating Mosasaurus in the main park. Even after some success with training, it's still made clear by Fluffy Tamer Owen that his four imprinted raptors will happily kill anyone, including him if given the chance. They do.
# Characters.MonsterHunterFifthGenerationMonstersRise: After World broke the trend of raptor Bird Wyverns appearing as pack-hunting monsters, with pack hunting Fanged Wyverns taking their place, Great Izuchi marks a return to that trend.
# Characters.TeamFourStarNuzlockePlaythroughs: His name was meant to be a reference to non-avian raptors.
# Characters.Warhammer40000TauEmpire: Knarlocs, which are Kroot-derived pack-hunting beasts that walk on two legs and use their short forearms to grasp prey,note Think of the popular conception of velociraptors for a good visualization of it. are often used as cavalry mounts by the Kroot. The Knarloc's pack mentality and relative intelligence makes them ideal for domestication and their viciousness as hunters makes them ideal for combat. A good Knarloc is a source of prestige to other Kroot.
# VideoGame.{{Barotrauma}}: Mudraptors are a common enemy that resemble a cross between a dinosaur and a shrimp. They possess armored beaks to break into ship hulls, and powerful hind legs that allow them to walk upright and even run once they get inside.
# Fanfic.PrehistoricEarth: While not to the exaggerated extent usually associated with this trope, the park's repertoire of rescued animals include such creatures usually guilty of this trope as velociraptor, Utahraptor, and troodon.
# Characters.SuperRWBYSistersOCCharacters: The Sickle Claws, which are based on the Velociraptor. In a similar fashion to the raptors featured in Jurassic Park, they're known to be quite dangerous, unpredictable, and intelligent predators that are smart enough to know how to pick off a group of Huntsmen one by one.
# PlayingWith.RaptorAttack: Edit Page

# Characters.PrimevalAmerica: Averted, he's very accurately detailed. * Team Pet: Comes with being an expy of Rex.
# Recap.TheSimpsonsS23E6TheBookJob: The dromaeosaurids at the dinosaur show are Jurassic Park-styled. Justified in that they are just costumes.
# LethalLavaLand.PlatformGame: Jurassic Park (Console), most of the Raptor's levels and the first of the Rex's take place in the middle of a forest fire.
# VideoGame.TokyoJungle: The Deinonychus, one of the only two playable dinosaurs, are depicted as featherless. The Archaeopteryx mostly avert this, aside from the yellow coloring of their plumage.
# Pantheon.BossDesign: Flunky Boss, King Mook, Enemy Summoner, Warm-Up Boss, Ocasionally Have Stronger Variants, Status Infliction Attack Dromes: Lean and Mean, More Teeth than the Osmond Family, Grapple Move Greats: Fearless Fools except for the Maccao, Slightly Downplayed RaptorAttack, Butt-Monkey Greatest Jagras: Took a Level in Badass, Feared by Deviljho, Damage-Sponge Boss
# Website.YTMND: Raptor Jesus, stolen from 4chan and made into a Leet Speaking Cloud Cuckoo Lander who occasionally liked the flesh of his followers.
# Series.PlanetOfDinosaurs: This time played straight, but only because of Science Marches On. The pack of Dromaeosaurus jumps on a much heavier Parasaurolophus and kills it during a stormy night near the end of the 2nd episode. At the start of it, however, the relative Deinonychus appears as solitary and not-hunting — with the traveler saying that when it does hunt in pack "it's like being attacked by a pack of large dobermann dogs armed with sickles".
# Characters.MetroidTheMetroids: In the Zeta phase, Metroids heavily resemble raptors.
# Film.AgeOfDinosaurs: Strangely, the Carnotaurus is depicted this way. Carnotaurus wasn't a dromaeosaur nor was it particularly closely related to them.
# VideoGame.JurassicParkSegaMasterSystem: The Velociraptor is the boss of the power station. In a nod to the intelligence it displays in the movie, it comes out of one of the various doors on its arena, attacks and then retreats to start the process over.
# WesternAnimation.TheLegoMovie2TheSecondPart: Rex's raptors are much taller than him, featherless, and most of them have a blue and green color scheme.
# YMMV.DinoStrikeWii: SpiritualAdaptation: The entire game's depiction to dinosaurs is closer to the Jurassic Park franchise than in real-life, from their acid-spitting dilophosaurusues to their depiction of a RaptorAttack lifted straight out of previous Jurassic Park arcade games. Even the gate on title screen is lifted from the first Jurassic Park film!
# Characters.PlanetDinosaur: Despite its name and size being evocative of (pop culture) Velociraptor, it is more related to Allosaurus.
# Webcomic.ParryAndCarney: Averted! Especially notable considering that some of the deinonychosaurs in this comic appeared way back in 2005.
# YMMV.SpecklesTheTarbosaurus: The Velociraptor don’t fare much better, as they are presented as ravenous Fearless Fools who just live to kill everything in sight. When Blue Eyes and a giant sauropod die right next to each other, hundreds of raptors gather but instead of going for the two giant corpses ripe for the taking, they try to kill Speckles' children and repeatedly attack the adult Tarbosaurus and refuse to withdraw even after he kills dozens of them, with some even running straight into his mouth.Their designs don’t help matters, being mostly scaly but having a mane of feathers that looks an awful lot like Anime Hair.
# VideoGame.TheMagicSchoolBus: Explores the Age of Dinosaur has dromaeosaurs and troodonts that are featherless, due to the information at the time. On the other hand, Archaeopteryx is correctly identified as a dinosaur.
# Characters.TheGoodDinosaur: A pack of vicious raptors. They do have some feathers, though not quite as much as the ones in real life. They are also much bigger than any Velociraptor by being around the same size as Arlo. At least they have the slender bodies real Velociraptors had. Ironically, they also break the stereotype of raptors being Genius Bruisers; if anything, the raptors here seem to be the dumbest of the dinosaurs in the cast.
# Literature.PrimevalExtinctionEvent: Several Troodons appear in the novel, and are compared to the raptors that the team had encountered in the previous book, PrimevalTheLostIsland The Lost Island. They kill Tim Jenkins, one of the British SAS soldiers accompanying Jenny Lewis and Helen Cutter on their journey to Russia to retrieve the kidnapped Nick Cutter, Abby Maitland, and Connor Temple, in the Cretaceous, and later, they attack Jake Hemple and Jenny Lewis when they are trapped in the wreckage of a car that had been demolished by an Ankylosaurus.
# Website.{{Serina}}: The banshees are essentially re-evolved velociraptors, with sickle claws on their feet, long balancing tails, and wings modified into claws for grabbing prey. They resemble accurate dromaeosaurs save for having a serrated beak and barbed tongue instead of a toothed snout. The viridescent sawjaw has convergently evolved to resemble a Velociraptor save for their sawing jaws and rabbit-like ears.
# VideoGame.FlightRising: The game features a number of dragon breeds based on a variety of mythical and animal sources, including and not limited to Guardians, which look like traditional Western dragons, the more Eastern-styled Imperials, serpentine Spirals, raptor-based Wildclaws, and Obelisks who are basically just Asian Lion Dogs.
# TabletopGame.MyriadSong: Troödons, despite the name, look very much like the stereotypical raptor. They do bear some notable differences, such as feathers on their heads, prehensile hands, and being warm-blooded.
# Fanon.JurassicPark: Another common theory is that the little boy who Grant gave the infamous RaptorAttack Speech to in the first film was actually a young Owen Grady. However, it’s hard to say if any of the theory’s followers are actually serious or just joke about it. As of Dominion, though, this has probably been debunked—Grant and Grady meet face-to-face and nothing suggests that they had known each other in any way before this.
# Fanfic.KaijuRevolution: Raptor Attack The Venatoraptors at first appear to fit the bill due to their apparently scaly bodies but the scales are actually derived from feathers that have evolved to form a lightweight natural armor. The feathers on their arms even evolved into quills that they use to ensnare prey. Gaw is a tyrannical raptor kaiju who controls several of the venatoraptor tribes and seeks to rule Skull Island with an iron fist.
# Laconic.RaptorAttack: Edit Page
# Characters.TheLegendOfTarzan: They are clearly modeled after the velociraptors in Jurassic Park as they are featherless and man-sized. One could possibly justify their differences from the real-life animal as being a case of Speculative Biology from 65 million years of continued evolution.
# Literature.SpaceCadetRvbomally: The Kerdin are a civilisation of sentient Jurassic Park style Raptors. A fair number of them are feathered though.
# Series.TheTruthAboutKillerDinosaurs: Subverted with the Velociraptor.
# Characters.{{Prehistoria}}: Averted to the moon and back. Ruby is as accurate as they come, complete with feathers and using her killing claw to pin down small prey as opposed to gutting bigger dinosaurs note (she does use them to hook on to an Alioramus's head, but the damage is negligible and it's a desperation move). Also, she's not a social pack hunter, something Blackburn rightfully associates is rare outside of larger carnivores and so far is only indicated in substantially bigger Dromaeosaur species like Utahraptor.
# YMMV.JurassicPark: The raptors in the franchise are well-known for not actually representing what Velociraptor looked like in real life, but the actual basis is often stated to be Utahraptor by fans. However, Utahraptor had only just been named in the same month the first movie was coming out, it would be basically impossible for them to be based on it considering production had started a year prior, as well as the fact Utahraptor is actually much larger than the films' raptors. In actuality, the Velociraptor are meant to Deinonychus (even if they are rather larger than real Deinonychus), the name change was due to the franchise citing Gregory Paul's text, Predatory Dinosaurs of the World, as its primary source, which made the controversial choice to lump Deinonychus into Velociraptor. This idea had few adherents even then, and none today, so the fact it was ever an idea at all is not very well known.
# CondemnedByHistory.LiveActionTV: Jurassic Fight Club was moderately popular when it debuted in 2008, as far as dinosaur documentaries go. But following the growing number of paleontology enthusiasts voicing their opinions online, resulting in increased awareness of paleontological media such as this series and Monsters Resurrectednote Which while similarly disparaged, does have enough redeeming factors to avoid this trope misusing the genre for the sake of sensationalist content with an emphasis on gratuitous violence (known as "Awesomebro" in the community) instead of actually educating people about prehistoric wildlife and further perpetuating the Prehistoric Monster stereotype, as well as its lax attitude towards scientific accuracy (such as being a major offender of many RaptorAttack cliches), Jurassic Fight Club became scorned, with many people who watched it and enjoyed it as kids being very critical of it once they grew older.
# VideoGame.JurassicWorldTheGame: Velociraptor, shows up, of course, but there's also other dromaeosaurids like Utahraptor, Pyroraptor, and Deinonychus. Troodon and Guanlong show up too, using the Velociraptor animations, although the former is of a similar but very different branch called the troodontids, while the latter isn't even closely related, being a tyrannosaur. There's also the three hybrid species of Carnoraptors, Spinoraptors, and Metrialongs. Some of these creatures are feathered, to varying degrees of accuracy.The Indoraptor super hybrid also appears in this game.
# Toys.LegoDino: In contrast to the Pteranodon, the Velociraptor figure is wrong on every level. It is, like most raptors in media, essentially a Jurassic Park ripoff, and is therefore scaly, has kangaroo-hands, a short tail, and the head resembles that of an Allosaurus. There is also the size-issue, though engineering such a figure on a smaller scale would have been difficult.
# Recap.StarTrekEnterpriseS04E18InAMirrorDarkly: Mentioned when Kelby is found killed by what Phlox describes as "a particularly large reptile" that turns out to be a Gorn: Reed: Perhaps it was a pet, owned by one of the original crew. Phlox: Unless one of them owned a Velociraptor, I find that extremely unlikely.
# Series.{{Prehistoric}}: Deinonychus (feathered improperly, but still feathered) takes down a Tenontosaurus (at least this is physically possible, unlike the same species trying to kill a sauropod).
# ShownTheirWork.WebOriginal: Deinonychusaurs and troodontids are properly feathered and act like birds rather than leaning in to RaptorAttack cliches.
# BreakoutCharacter.{{Film}}: The original Jurassic Park made Velociraptor a stock dinosaur. Jurassic Park III did the same thing for Spinosaurus. Among the human characters, Deadpan Snarker and Female Gaze magnet Dr. Ian Malcolm was this. Because he was Spared by the Adaptation, when Michael Crichton wrote the sequel novel The Lost World with a movie adaptation in mind, he retconned the death so Ian could be the protagonist. Although his appearance in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was a glorified Bookends cameo, it was heavily featured in the advertising campaign.
# Characters.MonsterHunterFirstGenerationMonsters: They're even named after velociraptors.
# Film.DinosaurHotel: One of the dinosaurs the contestants need to survive against is a raptor. It manages to claim the lives of Sam and Zara.
# VideoGame.PrimalCarnage: Justified via Hand Wave in-universe. The raptors present in the game are explicitly a genetically engineered and enhanced genus known as the Novaraptor which is explicitly noted to be much more aggressive than any real dromaeosaur would've been. It's noted to come in two species, a featherless version resembling the typical archetype invented by Jurassic Park, and a feathered version (this is purely cosmetic in terms of gameplay).
# Characters.{{Gigantosaurus}}: Well, obviously. They avert the usual stereotype of raptors being highly intelligent, however, with Totor being The Ditz.
# FinalFantasyXIV.TropesGToI: InformedSpecies: The "Deinonychus" mount. It looks nothing like a Deinonychus, not even the RaptorAttack variety. For starters, it has a face like a dog, complete with ears, as well as tiny bat-like wings in place of arms. It doesn't even have sickle claws.
# NightmareFuel.VideoGames: 1916 - Der Unbekannte Krieg by Kriegsgraben and Stormvogel is a first-person survival horror game about a soldier who is trying to escape from the trenches which are crawling with beings that vaguely resemble white-eyed Raptors. The worst part? You don't have any weapons to fight them off! The only thing you can do is throw some severed limbs at them to slow them down.
# VideoGame.TheHunterPrimal: Velociraptors appear in the game, but as the turkey-sized small predators they were in real life. Horse-sized Utahraptors also appear and fulfill the role of your primary predator threat in the game.
# Franchise.TombRaider: Velociraptor are featured in Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider III, and Anniversary. As usual, they modeled after Jurassic Park's raptors, although Anniversary gives them quill-like feathers on their heads, backs, and arms.
# Theatre.HalloweenHorrorNights: 2002's JP Extinction scarezone and Project Evilution house featured scareactors dressed as the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park.
# YMMV.ClashOfTheDinosaurs: While not without its flaws, many agree that it's a much more enjoyable experience than its predecessor, due to providing a clear-cut narrative that emphasizes the dinosaurs' plight during the K-Pg extinction and the horrific nature of this catastrophic extinction event.
# VideoGame.{{Turok}}: The most common dinosaur enemy in the first game and one of the first enemies you'll face is the Raptor. Once you reach The Lost Lands, they'll come equipped with plasma guns.
# WhatCouldHaveBeen.PrehistoricParkReimagined: Speaking of Return of the King, the anzu wyliei were initially planned by A-LionGleek to have already set up a nesting ground and laid eggs, but Nathanoraptor chose to have them simply be in the midst of mating season instead for the sake of pacing. For similar reasons, Nathanoraptor also chose to delete his originally planned idea of the wounded Cirrus the Quetzalcoatlus to end up menaced by Duke's pack before his rescue when he realized the chapter was getting too long while said idea was present within the story.
# DarthWiki.SecretsOfTheXenoscope: Averted. Deinonychus appears throughout the story, but it is correctly shown with feathers.
# Animation.SpecklesTheTarbosaurus: Sparsely-feathered raptors and scaly Therizinosaurus, both of which would have likely been heavily feathered over all or most of their body.
# Literature.AllTomorrows: The Striders were hunted to extinction by vicious raptor-like predators descended from chickens.
# ComicBook.DarkwingDuck: Issue 3 of the Joe Books series has Bushhroot and Dr. Fossil creating plant-Velociraptor hybrids (with a leafy covering resembling feathers), which Gosalyn enlarges by spraying them with water.
# PlayingWith.AnimalAthleteLoophole: The leader of the Opposing Sports Team gets a violent predator (like a velociraptor) to play defense. The other teams decide to allow touchdowns rather than risk being torn apart.
# Characters.AtomicRobo: He's about twice the size of and looks nothing like his supposed species, Dromeosaurus albertensis, but given everything else about him, it'd probably make less sense for him to look like an actual dinosaur.
# InformedSpecies.AnimatedFilms: The large theropod featured in the "Rite of Spring" segment of Fantasia is supposed to be a Tyrannosaurus rex, but it looks more like an Allosaurus instead, with a blocky head, prominent pointed brow ridges and three claws on each hand. Amusingly, it's shown fighting a Stegosaurus, which lived millions of years before the T. rex but indeed coexisted with Allosaurus, so having simply made it an Allosaurus to begin with would have been more accurate.From the same sequence, there is a small theropod dinosaur with a domed head, shown chasing an Archaeopteryx. It's often believed to be an Ornitholestes (which was commonly shown attacking Archaeopteryx in contemporary paleo-art), a Compsognathus (because of its small size), or even a Velociraptor. What is it meant to be, according to the script? A Troodon. This one actually makes sense if you know that, at the time, Troodon was considered to be a pachycephalosaur, which explains its oddly-shaped head.
# Literature.KongKingOfSkullIsland: The most dangerous predators on the island are an odd dromaeosaur species; the Slashers are fast, feathered roughly wolf-sized theropods, who are led by the bigger, smarter Deathrunner subspecies. The Deathrunners themselves are led by Gaw, an absolutely gigantic Deathrunner of unparalleled strength and intellect among their species.
# PlayingWith.PrehistoricMonster: A velociraptor is depicted as a scaly, naked reptile with lizard-like eyes, drooling fangs and a bloodthirsty disposition.
# Recap.MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur2023S1E2TheBoroughBully: A silhouette of a Jurassic Park-styled raptor appears during the song sequence.
# Characters.HowToTrainYourDragonFilmsDragonSpecies: With their super speed and pack hunting, they act like dragon raptors.
# Characters.WarhammerAgeOfSigmarGrandAllianceOrder: The Order Serpentis' Drakespawn bear a strong resemblance to real life dromaeosaurid dinosaurs.
# ZergRush.RealLife: Dromaeosaurs (or more commonly known as "raptors"), but especially Deinonychus, became famous for their hunting strategy which is extremely similar to that of wolves, and almost every depiction of these dinosaurs shows them savagely mobbing and overwhelming huge plant-eaters. But Science Marches On, and after people have realized this whole theory had been based on more wishful thinking than actual fossil evidence, it has gradually lost its credibility. Then someone claimed to have found support for the idea of pack-hunting among giant theropods, like tyrannosaurids... Science Marches On back the way it came, however! There's at least one fossil trackway evidently made by deinonychosaurs that clearly demonstrates cooperative travelling, which means that the theory of pack-hunting raptors is still plausible. This article explains it all.
# Fanfic.{{Pokedex}}: In-universe, Archen were given the same treatment as raptors in real life, being regularly portrayed at grossly exaggerated sizes, as being able to open locked doors, and as bloodthirsty man-eaters.
# Recap.JusticeLeagueActionS1E31BoostersGold: Green Arrow is attacked by a pack of Jurassic Park-like raptors after he arrives on the island. Apparently, they're so dangerous that Booster Gold decided to leave them out of the park. That said, a similar but smaller species is also present in the park.
