Series.Planet Of Dinosaurs: 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".
Recap.Primeval S 3 E 4: The Velociraptor in this episode has the same look as the raptors from the previous season, so way too few feathers. It is actually the right size, though, but the wildlife presenter calls it a juvenile.
Ride.Disney Theme Parks: A new raptor character serves as the mascot of Donald's Dino Bash. To their credit, he is depicted with feathers (albeit still missing a body covering, though that may be because of the art style), since the attraction is based on the close relationship between birds and other dinosaurs. A featherless raptor can also be seen in the Dinosaur attraction.
VideoGame.Plants Vs Zombies 2 Its About Time: On of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Marsh is a Velociraptor that wanders back and forth on the lawn. Thankfully, it doesn't attack plants, but if it encounters a zombie, it will kick that zombie 3 squares forward towards your lawn. If he's charmed, the zombies get to be on the receiving end, except more deadly- he kicks them outta the lawn for a One-Hit Kill.
Film.D War: The Bulcos are basically flying velociraptors. In one scene, when a Bulcos lands if front of the camera, a sickle-shaped, raptor-like claw is visible on each foot.
Literature.Space Beasts: Subverted with Fossil, yes he is a scary looking Velociraptor 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 a Mentor figure to Matoaka. (We later find out he is Matoaka's half uncle, yeah he's the half brother Matoaka's human mother how's that for messed up family tree) It's easy to imagine him as a Saurian Rafiki if you replace the African accent with Native American accent.
Characters.Gigantosaurus: Well, obviously. They avert the usual stereotype of raptors being highly intelligent, however, with Totor being The Ditz.
Characters.Star Trek Species E To M: Slar, the Gorn seen in Enterprise, is far more dinosaur-like than the one in TOS, and Mirror Phlox directly compares him to a velociraptor.
Characters.Fate Grand Order Other Characters: Mostly subverted. He has a decent amount of feathers, with his underside being naked like on an ostrich, although his wing feathers should be located on his second finger rather than ending at the wrist. His dromaeosaurid sickle-claw is oddly placed on the first toe rather than the second. Unusually for fictional dromaeosaurids, he's also a gentle soul for the most part.
Fridge.Phineas And Ferb: Doofenshmirtz briefly gets transformed into a dinosaur that he calls a Velociraptor, but aside from its shape and size it bears no resemblance to Velociraptor being scaly instead of feathery and lacking the hook-like claw on its feet. At first this may seem like another Raptor Attack example but considering that this is a guy who didn't know what a dodo looked like (among other things), chances are that he doesn't know what a Velociraptor actually looks like either.Either that or he thought "Velociraptor" just sounded cooler. It was a Jurassic Park-style Velociraptor and thus a perfectly acceptable use of the name.
Fanfic.A Waterbending Quirk: Iktomi's second-in-command, and the sixth to be introduced, is Muteki (Japanese for "invincible"), whose "Velociraptor" Quirk gives him the teeth and claws of a Velociraptor.
WebAnimation.Dinosaur Office: Bruce Veloci from "New Boss" is a Velociraptor that looks not much different than a stereotypical depiction, only he's bigger and walks upright like an old-fashioned portrayal of a theropod. Interestingly, he has Non-Mammalian Hair which could be interpreted as feathers.
Characters.Jurassic Park Prehistoric Animals: Obviously. Similar to the franchise's iconic Velociraptor, it looks very little like a real dromaeosaur, aside from having sickle claws.
BigBad.Live Action Films Number To M: Jurassic World: Another Big Bad Ensemble, this time involving the Indominus rex, a super-hybrid dinosaur made on the base genome of Tyrannosaurus rex who engineers its escape and causes havoc throughout Isla Nublar, and Vic Hoskins, the overseer to Owen Grady's Velociraptor training program who seeks to have the Velociraptor weaponized for the military, and whose secret partnership with Henry Wu leads to the creation of the aforementioned Indominus rex as a means to get InGen to agree to use the Velociraptor. Hoskins winds up killed by a Velociraptor near the end of the film, so the conflict only ends with the defeat of the Indominus rex.
VideoGame.Dino Crisis: The raptors that appear in the game are lifted straight out of Jurassic Park: featherless, oversized and excessively aggressive, they seem to roam alone or in packs as the game demands and are apparently smart enough to work their way through elevator shafts.
MiloMurphysLaw.Tropes A To C: Artistic License – Paleontology: The T. rex model in "The Little Engine That Couldn't" has three fingers on each hand instead of two (again, a mistake also made in Phineas and Ferb). The Velociraptor in "Christmas Peril" is, as usual, oversized and featherless.
WesternAnimation.Go Diego Go: The special "The Great Dinosaur Rescue" featured Troodon with only a coating of fuzz (no wings or a tail fan).
Series.Walking With Dinosaurs: In addition to the Didelphodon in "Death of the Dynasty", a dromeosaur is seen sneaking up to a T. rex nest in the hopes of snatching an egg, only to be scared off by the mother who is resting nearby. The dromeosaurs are later seen trying to kill and eat a baby Torosaurus.
Characters.Jurassic Park Hybrids: His dromaeosaurid genetic contributions are more apparent than the Indominus's, as he possesses raptorial claws on his feet.
VideoGame.Carnivores: Everything Trying to Kill You: Well, not everything, but anything that can feasibly kill you will do so if it is given the chance. So, that Velociraptor? It's going to gore you before it eats you. How about that Ceratosaurus? Him too. How about Tyrannosaurus rex? He throws you around like a ragdoll instead of actually eating you.
WesternAnimation.Dink The Little Dinosaur: Deinonychus ("Claw Foots") and Velociraptor appear sporadically in the series and both are featherless, as was believed at the time to be fair. The latter also walks in an outdated "kangaroo" stance like the large theropods in the show, although the former has the accurate horizontal stance. Brownie points however for being a case of pre-Jurassic Park dromaeosaurids.
VideoGame.Dino Strike: Played both ways - your enemies include cyborg raptors with machine-guns grafted into their limbs, until you release them by destroying the armor enslaving the raptors. Then, the raptors will be on your side, biting enemy poachers and mauling unfortunate mooks.
Characters.Bloody Urban: Averted, Marvin is about the size of a turkey and is mostly harmless.
Literature.Sixth Of The Dusk: The description of Nightmaws is sketchy, mostly because so few people survive encountering them and they hunt at night. But the bits we can piece together imply a psychic utahraptor. Properly feathered too.
Roleplay.Discedo: A running joke in the game is the demand for raptors. In November 2010, players finally got their wish.
WesternAnimation.Gigantosaurus: Cror and Totor are your usual scaly, oversized Velociraptor. They are not as intelligent as most examples, however, with Totor being particularly dimwitted.
YMMV.Dino Strike Wii: Spiritual Adaptation: 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 Raptor Attack lifted straight out of previous Jurassic Park arcade games. Even the gate on title screen is lifted from the first Jurassic Park film!
Characters.Manly Guys Doing Manly Things: Completely and utterly averted: the Squad is probably the cutest (and most scientifically accurate) depiction of velociraptors in fiction, and they are miles away from the fierce monsters Jurassic Park made them out to be.
VideoGame.Primal Carnage: 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).
VideoGame.Gothic: Snappers and their even more dangerous relatives, the Razors and Dragonsnappers, all of which are basically small, armless theropod dinosaurs.
Webcomic.Manly Guys Doing Manly Things: Averted, the velociraptors seen are turkey sized, feathered, plump, and brightly colored. Jonesy mistook them at first for "toothy roosters" and is more than a little stunned to find out what they actually are. They're also so non-threatening that they can be picked up and scolded.
Characters.Pokemon Generation I Gastly To Tauros: Scyther looks and acts less like a praying mantis and more like a Jurassic Park-brand Velociraptor, being aggressive, swift, worryingly clever, and capable of attacking in a flash with razor-sharp claws. The main difference is that Scyther is depicted as a solitary (and incredibly territorial) hunter as opposed to traveling in packs.
Webcomic.Raptormaniacs: Averted by Skull the Eumaniraptor Trio. It's played straight once◊, but it was intentional.
TabletopGame.Dinosaurs Attack: Averted. Since these cards came out before Jurassic Park, there are no dromaeosaurs to be seen. Though what seems to be a Deinonychus is seen on the package art (aka the page image).
VideoGame.Secret Of Evermore: Prehistoria's South Jungle, which throws you right in the thick of it with hungry raptors. They appear as standard mooks later in the region, albeit still lethal due to their erratic pounce attacks.
VideoGame.Portal Runner: Jurassic Park-styled raptors are the main enemies of the dinosaur world, and they come in different sizes.
SelfFanservice.Anime And Manga: Steel Ball Run: Hot Pants is a Bifauxnen to the point of being able to convincingly disguise herself as a man, but fanart likes to portray her as much more feminine-looking than she actually is. Some fanart of Diego Brando in his Scary Monsters form makes him a cuter dinosaur and gives him feathers.
WesternAnimation.Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous: This happens in Season one when Darius and Kenji end up falling into the Velociraptor pen in the first episode. In Season three this happens when the very raptor-like Monolophosaurus chase the campers through a penthouse on the island belonging to Kenji’s father in the third episode. In season three Darius, Kenji and Yaz come across the ruins of the old Jurassic park visitor center and discover Blue the Velociraptor has made a nest and proceeds to chase them out in the fourth episode. In season four the group is attacked by a pair of Velociraptor in the fifth episode.
Characters.Primal Rage: One of the most recognized examples of the trope. Shockingly for 1994, he is both stated to be a gigantic Deinonychus instead of a Velociraptor and actually has some feathers!
Series.Valley Of The T Rex: Not helping matters is that he simultaneously overhypes dromaeosaurs as the perfect killing machine as far as dinosaurs go, including being shown taking down prey many times their size, a pop culture stereotype viewed as incredibly sensationalized and inaccurate by actual paleontologists.
VideoGame.Jurassic Park Sega Master System: 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.
YMMV.Clash Of The Dinosaurs: Surprisingly Improved Sequel: 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.
ArtisticLicensePaleontology.Toys: The Playmobil dinosaur line largely averts this: 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◊.
Recap.Prehistoric Park Extras E 17 Dogfight: Played in fairly realistic fashion with the dromaeosaurus as they all work seamlessly together as a pack in their efforts to help capture Rocco the teratornis without showing off any of the sensational stereotypes usually associated with this trope.
Characters.Super Mario Bros Allies: T. Rexpy: Yoshi isn't an actual T. rex as made clear by the existence of a bona fide one in Super Mario Odyssey, but he's an anthropomorphic, cutesy caricature of one, veering towards Cartoon Creature due to his unique design features and abilities. The live-action movie instead goes the Raptor Attack route.
Literature.Time Machine Series: One of the featured dinosaur species is Deinonychus, which lacks feathers. (But then again, this book was published in 1984.)
Fanfic.Harry Is A Dragon And Thats Okay: In their third year, all four of Harry's friends attain Animagus forms before Halloween. Neville becomes a panther (Lapcat), Ron becomes a squirrel (Nutkin), Dean becomes a crow (Upstart. It was initially named Jim), and Hermione becomes a deinonychus (Clever Girl).
Characters.Prehistoric Park: Fossilized melanosomes in the feathers of a Microraptor fossil suggest it was completely black in color, instead of being largely white like in the show.
BreakoutCharacter.Film: Jurassic Park films: 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.
Webcomic.Poharex: The Achillobator from Issue 3 is correctly depicted with feathers, as do most of the dromaeosaurs that appear in the comic. On the other hand, the pink and green raptor gang who were former bullies of Todor lack plumage.
Film.Jurassic World: Let's You and Him Fight: Is an I. rex threatening you and your family? No problem. Just open Paddock 9 and let Rexy handle it. It worked wonders for Claire. Bonus points if you can get a semi-trained Velociraptor and a Mosasaurus to lend a hand.
Film.Jurassic Park 1993: Played straight with the Dilophosaurus and Velociraptor. The Dilophosaurus is depicted to have monstrous, fictitious traits such as a neck-frill and a venomous spit to hunt bigger prey while the Velociraptor is far larger than the real-life animal and is intelligent enough to hunt humans for sport.
WorthyOpponent.Live Action Films: 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.
Characters.Pokemon Generation VIII Impidimp To Calyrex: Zig-zagged with the "-zolt" half; it's visibly based on Velociraptor, including feathers on the arms and head. It still has pronated hands without feathers attached to them, though, rather than the wing-like supinated ones with feathers that dromaeosaurs really had. Arctozolt even dispenses with the wing feathers completely, though it's still got a head crest.
Fanfic.Tyrant Kings: One codex introduces an all-raptor military unit called the 212th Nublarian Combat Regiment, though it's more commonly referred to as the Velociwreckers. They are based on the Turian Havoc Troops, and so are equipped with jump packs that are capable of extended flight and their hands and feet are sheathed in omni-constructed monomolecular blades. Needless to say, they are flat out terrifying when they attack.
GoddamnedBats.Plants Vs Zombies: The Raptor wanders back and forth on the lawn, and when it encounters a zombie it kicks them three squares forwards. Unlike Breakdancer, it can only kick one at a go, but at twice the range! They can easily kick zombies up to the third column, past most of your defences!
Characters.The Atomic Time Of Monsters Kaiju: Very much intentional. Collosaraptor is, like every other Retrosaur, based off inaccurate depictions of prehistoric reptiles. This means no feathers, pronated hands, etc. That being said, her kind is said to be closely related to birds.
Trivia.Sky Monsters: Falsely Advertised Accuracy: As this came out in 2005, there is no justification for the Saurornitholestes looking as retro as it does. Given the low-quality CGI, they most likely didn't have the budget to animate proper feathers.
Film.Ten Thousand BC: The terror birds are essentially used this way, acting uncannily like the velociraptors from Jurassic Park.
NeverMyFault.Animated Films: A more tragic version occurs in the seventh film, The Stone of Cold Fire, via flashback. After disagreeing with the other dinosaurs on the best route to the Great Valley during the events of the first film, Petrie's uncle Pterano led a splinter group of the dinosaurs in a different direction and seemingly found the Great Valley, or as close to it as to make no difference. And then the raptors showed up. Pterano returned to the original herd with a bad case of Survivor's Guilt and, when asked what happened to the rest, would only ever say that it wasn't his fault. Part of his character development is getting over his ego and owning up to his mistakes.
Franchise.Tomb Raider: 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.
Characters.Transformers Film Series Autobots: What Happened to the Mouse?: When the first information on Age of Extinction was revealed, there were seven Dinobots and their alt-modes named. Slash, Slognote Sludge for those who know Gen 1, and Snarl are nowhere to be seen in the film. In TLK, all the Dinobots but Grimlock and Slug are absent, without comment or explanation. The latter two are present in the early part, only to vanish after the Decepticon attack on Cade's junkyard.
YMMV.Spore Wiki Fiction Universe: All Capricornians gained the moniker of Waptors after bearing a very strong resemblance to the raptor genus of dinosaur.
Series.Animal Armageddon: A Velociraptor with the wrong skull shape and a pair of naked Troodon that take down a subadult hadrosaur. Cameos by Dromaeosaurus and Byronosaurus aren't any better.
Film.The Veloci Pastor: Informed Species: Doug's dinosaur form is described as a Velociraptor, but even by the low standards of the film industry, he's way off, with extremely chunky proportions, a huge head with small eyes, tiny arms, no sickle-claws, and an upright stance that leaves his tail dragging on the ground—at that point, adding that he's too big and doesn't have feathers feels almost unnecessary. He looks a lot more like older depictions of large theropods like Tyrannosaurus or Allosaurus.
VideoGame.Dino Rex: The Deinonychus that shows up to eat the Power-Up Food eggs laid by the Pteranodons is scaly, without any form of feathering whatsoever and has pronated hands, looking almost exactly like the sketch made by John Ostrom.
WesternAnimation.Toy Story That Time Forgot: Justified with the raptor Battlesaurs in that they're toys, although they appear to have a few feathers on their heads and backs.
Funny.Palae Oh No: 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 Raptor Attack trope.
VideoGame.Dino Run: 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.
