DINOSAUR ASSET FILES-I.B.R.I.S RAPTOR

Now you probably already know this, but I love the Jurassic Franchise.
And because I'm such a fanboy, I'm super hyped for the next installment of this beloved franchise: Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom
So, to keep this hype-train rolling, I've decided to make files explaining the dinosaurs of Isla Nublar/Sorna, explaining how they behave, how much of their genetic code was altered by Ingen Scientists, and how they compare to their original counterparts.

One thing to note- I'll also be adjusting them slightly, like adding little bits of feathers here or there.
(mainly because I find it difficult to draw dinosaur without at least some form of proto-feathers)

For the thirtieth creature on our list, I've decided to showcase a very popular breed of raptor that some of us have understandably grown attached to...
called: "DINOSAUR-ASSET" FILES-1.4
Carnivore file File- "I.B.R.I.S Raptors

otherwise known as "Deinonychus Masranii Nublarensis"

For a long while, I've been rather confused as to how to showcase this asset as not only were there only four individuals that we saw on screen, and only one of them has survived into the next movie, the other dilemma that came with this, was that it was the first case in which each of the individuals actually had proper canon "names', which complicated the structure of the asset file even more. And what else is interesting is that given the reputation of the Raptors in the previous films (where they mainly just killed the humans by any means, being an antagonist) here we are given the new perspective of us being able to sympathize with.

I give you the first case of a "named dinosaur-character", I give you, the I.B.R.I.S-raptor from Jurassic World and Jurassic world Fallen Kingdom
Otherwise known as Delta, Echo, Charlie and, of course, dear Blue, the RAPTOR SQUAD!

Now, when talking about this Variant of JP raptor, there are several aspects of context that need to be taken into account.
the first is that Unlike the previous three variants, Blue's Breed of raptor is not bred as a park attraction, but in fact, for intelligence testing to find possible applications for a loyal creature that can possibly be used in warfare. As the idea is that "if these raptors can follow orders, they can be trained in such a way that their loyalty cannot be bought", but we'll get to that in a bit...

Another thing to note, is that because of that different breeding purpose, their genome is mainly comprised of ingen's "nublar-raptor" instead of the original fossil DNA, (hence why "certain" genetic faults are still with them) and like the masrani anky, was bred in a slightly different way from the previous variant.

And third is that, yes there is a difference in there behavior, but that's the point, these raptors were partially "tamed" and were the first raptors to be raised by a human (Owen Grady) instead of having to learn things on their own (like "the big one" from the first film).

But, before we go into those aspects of context, I should probably explain how they compare to the "Nublar-raptors" (because it's clear that this the source of their DNA rather than the original "vel.antrihopus") and since we don't have to count the consistent features (like lack of feathers, and the wrists etc) the major difference is that there is a slight increase in size and in musculature, clearly for the purposes of training them to be fighting animals...this sort of thing is often seen in selectively bred war-dogs, and other than that, the big difference is in that each of the individuals were given their own cosmetic gene giving a different colour scheme, and that their max speed is slightly slower than the "nublar-raptors" (possibly as a safety precaution)

Now that tiny bit is out of the way... it's time we explained where these raptors came from....starting with explaining the idea behind the IBRIS project.

The I.B.R.I.S. project (Short for Integrated Behavioral Raptor Intelligence Study) 
was a program to study the intelligence of raptors, first conceived in 2008 and began major development in 2012.

The plan, when it began with a "nublar raptor referred to as SUBJECT V-2, was for it to be an attraction for Jurassic World when there was a set of raptors that were fully trained, similar to how some zoos have trained seals or trained wolves/lions/tigers but when, much later, it was found that the raptors could form complex bonds and follow the orders of their established "alpha", ingen mercenaries like Vic Hoskins wanted to instead control the Velociraptors in training so that they can be used in military operations, thinking about using them in places like the middle east, replacing thousands of troops with what he saw as "Perfect, obedient killers".

And to be fair, whilst he was wrong in his actions, i can see where he was coming from, I mean thousands of years ago, Wolves were a menace to human society, and now we have German shepherds and bloodhounds in the police force. the only reason this idea doesn't work is that Hoskins tried to do too much with his big idea, too soon and he didn't pay attention to anything except what he WANTED to know.

But despite the arrogance of Hoskins, the project did indeed show some promising signs...
For, you see, in late 2011, the project bred 4 raptor hatchlings from their original SUBJECT V-2 specimen, then they took the eggs to an ingen nursery and once they hatched, they were assigned to ex-navy man by the name of Owen Grady As soon as they hatched, they imprinted on owen and ever since, he raised them as their father figure, he formed a sort of family bond, meaning that Owen is the only human that the raptors trusted...as the case is that any other human that falls into their training pit, the raptor will very likely kill them, only Owen has enough of the raptors trust to make them hesistate in their tracks, but even though he was technically their "alpha" his experience with training predators reminds him that he must never let his guard down, he must always assert his dominance as pack alpha, one wrong move and the raptors would lash out and attack him. And they didn't DARE shoot them, for as Owen said: "put twelfth amps into these animals, they are NEVER going to trust me again"

However, despite this tension, their relationship was documented as being surprisingly close and intimate, almost like they were his actual daughters, for he'd sometimes would feed them fresh rats and on rare occasions he'd even go into the pen and play with them (this sort of activity was far MORE common when they were hatchlings). In fact he had developed such a respect for them that he even gave them individuals names. This was made easier by the fact that despite being siblings, each raptor was genetically engineered to be distinct in one form or another.
These include:

CHARLIE: (deceased, killed by a missile)
age order: the youngest,
color: pattern of lime green with black vertical stripes running down her back
Her skin pattern is the result of using Green Iguana DNA in her genetic coding.
Trivia: Because she was the youngest in Jurassic World's raptor pack, Charlie looked to the pack's leader Blue for guidance and commands during hunts. Charlie had such a high respect towards her leader that she gave up her meals to feed Blue.

ECHO: (deceased, killed by Indominus)
Age order: second Youngest
color: brown with dark blue striping as well as having dark blue eyespot
Distinctive traits: scar on the left side of her muzzle
Trivia: the scar is believed to have come from her youth when both she and Blue fought for dominance over the pack. Blue was victorious, and Echo earned a scar across her face and an offset jaw

DELTA: (deceased, killed by indominus)
Age order: second oldest (and second in command of the pack)
color: dark-ish green with no stripes
Distinctive traits: extra nodules toward the front of the nose and past the eye ridges (from which is a suspected use of sorna-raptor DNA)
Trivia: unlike the other members of her pack Delta had a close relationship with Barry rather than Owen, hence why Owen always made sure not to get too close to her.

And Finally...the most popular of all them, and possibly the one who was closest to Owen...

BLUE: (still alive, the last of her kind.)
Age order: oldest (and leader of the Pack, asside from Owen)
Color: bluish-gray skin with white-ish yellow stripes and a long metallic blue stripe going horizontally
from her eye orbit down to the tip of her tail.
Trivia: She was the first raptor of her variant to be hatched and she was created with the DNA of the Black-Throated African Monitor Lizard, which allowed her scales to reflect an iridescent blue color, giving her the distinctive pattern that she was named after. Out of all the raptors that were to be created following her birth, she was the largest, and thus, became the Pack beta. Basically, she runs the pack when owen's not around. 

Edit: and from certain ingen files, it's been found that Blu´in partiular was genetically engineered to display higher levels of empathy and concern

But those happy times eventually came to an end when the indominus incident happened, Just before the incident occurred, Blue, Echo, Delta, and Charlie attempted to strike Leon, a newly hired Jurassic World employee who had fallen into her pack's paddock, while trying to capture a pig that had escaped its holding pen. However, they were thwarted by their trainer in time to save Leon's life.

Blue and her pack later assisted their trainer during the rampage of the Indominus when Hoskins forced Owen to use them to hunt it. Unfortunately, during the hunt, she and her pack mates began to communicate with the hybrid due to its raptor DNA (and practice of their language with its sibling, but that's another story). After the Indominus took Owen's place as the alpha, Blue and her pack mates turned against the humans.

Blue and the rest of her pack later caught up with Owen, Claire, and the Mitchell brothers, Zach and Gray. Shortly after being cornered, Owen regained Blue's, and the other raptors', respect and his role as pack leader. The Indominus rex arrived, ordering the raptors to attack the humans. Blue, however, retaliated and rebelled against the Indominus, and the hybrid responded by swatting Blue into a wall of the Starbucks coffee shop, seeming to kill her. Delta and Echo then attacked the Indominus out of vengeance. Unfortunately, they were soon overpowered by the hybrid and killed. Shortly after their deaths, Jurassic World's oldest resident, Roberta (Rexy) the T-rex challenged the indominus to a fight. But as Rexy was thrown to the Ground, all seemed lost, when suddenly...

Blue, the last surviving raptor charged into the fight, lunging at the hybrid and allowing the T. rex to get back on her feet. Blue continued to assist the T. rex in her fight against the hybrid. Eventually, the fight came a sudden end when the resident Mosasaurus dragged the Indominus into the bottom of the lagoon when the hybrid was tossed to the edge of it. After the fight, Rexy decided to spare Blue, as both were too exhausted to fight anymore. Blue then turned towards Owen, chirping at him momentarily before disappearing into the night, calling out for her pack mates twice.

Now, almost THREE YEARS later, Blue has been living rough on isla nublar, surviving off anything she could catch (including but not limited to mammals and baby dinosaurs)
And, with the threat of the volcano looming....her species will go extinct if nothing is done to save her...

update june 2018- while Mt. Sibo destroyed her habitat, there are rumors Blue survived the incident and is now roaming the wilds of california.
