The Aberrant Raptor is a small, carnivorous variant creature with enhanced melee damage. It excels at rapid takedowns and is often used for early-game combat or node clearing. It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.
Its compact size and high aggression make it ideal for tight cave zones and hit-and-run tactics.
