Anatomical Overview

Size & Build:

The Raskelphor is a medium-sized, digitigrade theropod. Its body is lean and aerodynamic, built for extreme speed, with elongated limbs and a flexible spine. It possesses a low but narrow center of gravity for high-velocity stability, similar to a cheetah crossed with a dromaeosaurid.

Head & Sensory Organs

• Skull Shape: The head shape is swept-back and tapering, extended by a keratinous bone crest that grows from the skull’s sagittal ridge. This crest has a streamlined, blade-like profile while serving as a resonator for environmental vibrations or electrical fields.
• Eyes: Large, forward-facing, with a tapetum lucidum layer for superior night vision. Their lenses slightly bulge out like those of nocturnal predators, catching dim light with minimal movement.
• Feelers: Two long pink lightning-sensitive feelers grow from nodes behind its ears. These are semi-prehensile, soft-tissue structures rich in electroreceptors (comparable to the ampullae of Lorenzini in sharks). They're tuned to changes in atmospheric electricity, helping the Raskelphor predict storms, sense electrical discharges, or navigate using geomagnetic fields.
