Raptors of Azeroth — savage reptiles of WoW Classic
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruRaptors are two-legged predatory reptiles, savage and swift hunters of Azeroth's warm lands. Their taloned feet and pack hunting make raptors the terror of the Barrens savannah and the Stranglethorn Vale jungle. And in Un'Goro Crater their giant kin, the devilsaurs, rule the land like true dinosaurs of WoW Classic on WowX5 x5.
Raptors are very fast — you cannot outrun them. In Un'Goro keep well clear of devilsaurs: a single charge can kill a careless player outright.

Raptors and trolls
To the trolls a raptor is a war-comrade and a mount. The Darkspear tribe tames mottled reptiles and rides them into battle, and in the ancient Gurubashi arena of Stranglethorn Vale a raptor rider is a symbol of valor. The tamed reptile has become one of the icons of the Horde.
The raptor as a hunter's pet
Among hunter pets raptors belong to a high-damage family. Their special ability Rake leaves bleeding wounds on the target, and their savage look makes for a striking companion.
