Description
When it comes to carrion eaters, Rhymorra offers plenty. One example is the better known Skull Drake, hiding amongst the bones of its ill-gotten prey and striking like a snake. A lesser known carrion eater is the Bone Raptor. Similar to Rhymorra's Blood Raptor, they are both the same size and share similar characteristics. However, the Bone Raptor's primary meal is carrion and undead, whilst the Blood Raptor prefers to hunt live prey. Bone Raptors have evolved to digest meat even after the creature has died, making a battle against undead lethal for the undead. Nocturne and his commanders tend to steer clear of Bone Raptor nests as they will lose a lot of troops at the claws of just one Bone Raptor.
