'''The Raptor''' is one of the seven [[Signature Heroes]], and is arguably the most mysterious. In fact, "[[Update:Blog - Who are the Signature Heroes|Who are the Signature Heroes?]]" only describes the Raptor as a mysterious warrior. Not much is yet known about the Raptor, he is one of the few Signature Heroes to play a part in a quest.

The Raptor's race is currently unknown, and one piece of artwork of him has been released by Jagex with the new website's Adventure Log. The Raptor seems to be very protective of his true identity, always appearing fully clad in armour and helm and refusing to take any of it off. The Raptor has been confirmed male by the game guide following the site's update.

When speaking to The Raptor, he will comment on monsters killed by the player in quests, often stating his opinion on whether the feat is impressive or not.

==Personality==
Very little is known about The Raptor, even compared to the other [[Signature Heroes]]. The Raptor seems only to acknowledge combat achievements as mattering, and until you have defeated a suitably respectable opponent, such as [[Nomad]], will refuse to talk to you entirely. His attitude to solving problems is to completely destroy anything related to the problem. The Raptor is also quite arrogant at times.

==Capabilities==
[[File:The Raptor's mace.png|right|100px]]
The Raptor seems to be rather weak in combat, hitting low and getting heavily damaged, despite his heavy armour. He can sometimes be seen fighting certain creatures around Gielinor. Of The Raptor's other capabilities, nothing is known.

==History==
Nothing is known of The Raptor's past.
==RuneScape cinematic trailer==
[[File:Raptor_Anime.png|thumb|The Raptor in the cinematic trailer.]]
The Raptor appears in the RuneScape cinematic trailer that could be watched [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajz5Poh_giI&feature=related here].

Along with [[Sir Owen]], [[Ozan]] and [[Ariane]], The Raptor fought against a gigantic [[troll]], and narrowly saves Ozan from the brute's axe.

==Locations==
[[File:The Raptor slays dwarf.png|thumb|200px|The Raptor prepares to strike a [[Chaos dwarf hand cannoneer]].]]
The Raptor can be found in various places around [[Gielinor]].

===Roaming===
The Raptor will frequently appear in these places for a while, then [[teleport]] away.
*Inside the [[Warrior's Guild]] in [[Burthorpe]].
*Killing [[chaos dwogre]]s, [[chaos dwarf hand cannoneers]], and [[chaos dwarves]] at the [[Chaos Dwarf Battlefield]].

===Special===
*Inside the [[Gamers' Grotto]] talking to the [[Head mystic]]. The Raptor refuses to take off any armour in order to play [[Stealing Creation]], and then teleports away.
*Standing next to [[Kuradal]]. When speaking to him he demands a task from her, and after she argues that he should be teaching her, she assigns him 5,000 [[Dagannoths]]. After he teleports away, Kuradal will tell [[the player]] that she hopes they never become like that.

===Quest and Miniquest Appearances===
[[File:Being spat out.png|left|thumb|The trio exit the dragon in an abnormal way.]]
The Raptor features in the [[Song from the Depths]] quest, released in [[22 May]] [[2012]]. Before the start of the quest, a desperate resident of [[Rimmington]] called [[Lucille]] asked the Raptor to find the source of a strange sleep affliction that has been affecting men in the village, including Lucille's husband [[Waylan]]. He accepted the task, but Lucille recruited an adventurer later because she was very afraid of the Raptor and his methods: kill the source of the problem and destroy everything on the way there. Thus, the adventurer followed the Raptor into a dungeon, following the men's dreaming souls in the dreamland, where, after solving a number of puzzles, they witnessed the Raptor jumping down a very, very deep pit. With fear, they followed, only to be swallowed by a huge monstrosity; the [[Queen Black Dragon]]. The adventurer and the Raptor met again, after having ventured through the dragon's dangerous stomach, at the source of the disease: a siren by the name of [[Remora]], who was heard earlier in the dungeon as a haunting voice, who was imprisoned within a sac. She was under the illusion that she was on an island and therefore lured men towards her, as she used to do in the past. The Raptor is eager to kill Remora, but she begs him for mercy, claiming to be the only way to escape the dragon. The Raptor decides to let her live a bit longer. Using her own [[coral crossbow]], the siren is freed from the sac, unfortunately awakening the dragon, who spits the trio out and unleashes a barrage of [[dragonfire]]. Remora quickly passes [[Remora's necklace|her teleportation necklace]], with which to get out, to the adventurer and is killed in the process by the dragonfire. The Raptor blocks the remaining fire using his shield and the two escape the dragon's lair in the nick of time. He gives the adventurer the necklace and crossbow, with a number of [[coral bolts]] to go with it, and sends them to inform Lucille of the good news that Rimmington is freed from the sleeping curse. He then stays at [[Sir Rebrum]]'s [[White Knights Encampment|campsite]] at the entrance of the [[Grotworm Lair]], which is full of parasites that feed from the Queen's insides.

==Dialogue==
[[File:Character-placeholder.png|thumb|right|The Raptor depicted in the Adventurer's Log]]
*After [[Dragon Slayer]], he comments that [[Elvarg]] is just a [[dragon]] and that he isn't impressed.
*After [[Nomad's Requiem]], he comments about the player killing [[Nomad]], and reckons the player could be as good as himself.
*After [[While Guthix Sleeps]], he comments on the player's skill in defeating the [[Balance Elemental]] and considers going after [[Lucien]] himself.
*After [[Within the Light]], he comments on the player finding their way into [[Prifddinas]], but has no desire of his own to help the [[elves]].
*After [[Dream Mentor]], he comments on the player killing [[The Inadequacy]] and states that it was just an imaginary monster.
*After [[Legends' Quest]], he comments that [[Nezikchened]] is just a [[demon]] and that he isn't impressed.
*After [[The Void Stares Back]], he comments on the player killing the [[Pest Queen]] and expresses his regret on not being at the fight.
*After [[Ritual of the Mahjarrat]], he comments on the player defeating the [[Balance Elemental]] and helping to sort out [[Lucien]]. He then comments about the player not going after the [[Dragonkin]].
*Throughout the [[Gielinor Games]], he has many lines.

==Trivia==
[[File:The_Raptor_Locked.png|thumb|left|The Raptor locked in the [[Wilderness Volcano]] after the graphical update.]]
*The depiction of The Raptor's helmet in the chathead is different from how it looks on the ingame avatar.
*The Raptor can be seen standing in Daemonheim in the Daemonheim animated background on the RuneScape start page as of [[9 August]] [[2011]].
*The Raptor is very popular among the player community. When Jagex released a poll on the RuneScape website based around the cinematic trailer they had released, asking which character featuring in it was their favourite, The Raptor won by over 50%.
*The Raptor's shield must have some form of anti-dragonbreath imbued in it, because in [[Song from the Depths]], when the [[Queen Black Dragon]] breathes fire upon [[Remora]], The Raptor and [[the player]], The Raptor withstands the [[dragonbreath]] without taking any damage, even so considering the Queen's breath is by far stronger than even the [[King black dragon]]'s.
*The Raptor is the third signature hero to play a role in a quest, and the last to play a role in quests and [[Fremennik Sagas]].
{{Template:Listen

|filename = The Raptor.ogg
|desc = I'm going to put an end to your witchcraft.|align = right}}
*The Raptor is a commentator in the [[Gielinor Games]].
*In the Gielinor Games [[Cheese Wheel Rolling]] event, after commenting about cheese, the Raptor says "If you'll excuse me, I have [[strykewyrms]] to kill.". This suggests he has at least a [[Slayer]] level of 73, although his conversation with [[Kuradal]] suggests he is 99.
