🧠 Description:

Quetzaraptor Apex is a deadly aerial hybrid, born from the union of massive wingspan and high-altitude dominance with predatory intelligence, agility, and pack instincts. Unlike its ancestors, it does not simply glide — it hunts with calculated strikes, often swooping in to grab prey with its razor-sharp talons and tossing them from the sky.

Engineered with lightweight bone density, reinforced muscles, and a second toe claw modified from the raptor lineage, it is aerial death incarnate.

🧪 Notes from Dr. Kael Varn's Logbook:

> "It doesn't soar like a bird. It hunts like a ghost. There's something unnatural about how it watches us — like it's learning. I fear the day it teaches others."
