Overview
The Raptor is a small Zoid with an open-air cockpit. Compared to other Zoids in the Zoids: Wild series, it is an S-sized Zoid.
Anime
The Raptor appears in episode 1 of the Zoids: Wild anime. It is primarily a 'grunt' type opponent that makes up part of the Death Metal forces.
The Raptor's Death Blast is first seen in episode 7, where it is being experimented on as a part of Death Metal's research into Death Metal Keys.
Raptors would continue to be seen throughout the anime. Colours of the Raptors vary depending on the faction. Death Metal Raptors are red, Raptors belonging to the Resistance are gold, while wild Raptors are Green.
Episode 23 sees a unique Raptor called 'Rain', who is raised by children, but captured and forced into Death Metal experiments. It escapes and returns to the nearby village while rogue. Eventually Drake is forced to kill the Zoid.
Episode 40 sees the first time Raptors use their mass-produced Death Blast. While using this attack, the effectiveness of Raptors improves substantially.
