The Raptor is the ultimate hunter; fast, agile, vicious, and stealthy. It can dart quickly through the jungle, creep from bush to bush, leap between rooftops, and generally run circles around its prey. The greatest challenge the Raptor faces is determining how to get up close to make its attack, as open ground can be covered quickly but its body cannot withstand too much damage.

The Commando and Scientist will have difficulty keeping a moving Raptor in their sights; a large threat is from the Trapper and his ability to immobilize.
