Short description: Coming Soon - Year of the Raptor!
Long description: "Ah yes, the Raptor Herald.

Known for its dark nature, it is considered the herald of madness
within the reptile kingdom. Strangely, it has the uncanny ability
to draw in other beasts using its own primal energy."

Fun Fact - The Raptor Herald is known
to rapidly evolve over its lifetime.
Short conclusion: *Rustle* *Rustle* *Rustle*
Long conclusion: "Wait...did you hear that?

Clever reptiles...pack hunters, you know, much like Hearthstone players.
It's not the one you see - it's the ones you don't that get you!
Time to leave to avoid being their next meal...

Stay curious! Stay safe!"
