Monster Update: Raptor Betas
24 July 2009 at 01:55 pm
Those of you who stay out after the shutter doors close tonight will encounter the "beta" version of Agatha's monsters.
As you know from the FAQ, the previous raptors were smallish (waist-height on a man), fairly fast, and possessed of the appropriate claws. They were also feathered in patches. Both the feathers and the skin of the raptors were brown. (For the extremely curious, this is partially because there were no males in her group.)
The raptor betas are significantly faster and more vicious. They are also the tiniest bit smaller, more aerodynamic for faster movement, with longer tails and more angular heads. Most of all, however, the raptor betas are a festive purple color.
If they scratch your character, he or she might notice something a little bit worrisome: the scratches will now get irritated, turning bright red, like cat scratches, because these raptors are very slightly venomous. It shouldn't be enough to make characters sick if they eat them, but in the future...?
ETA: For new players who don't know, this is actually old news; it's been in effect since the Twelfth Day.
