The Onslaught version of a Toxiraptor.
Toxiraptors are small Bio Minions, first encountered on Verdanth. They were featured in the Toxiraptor Template Challenge, in which they were called 'Emerald Toxiraptors', a reference to their green color.
Lore[]
Once tiny creatures with a mild, stinging bite, Toxiraptors became tall, lightning-fast attackers that hunted in packs. At close range, they attack physically, using their wicked fangs and injecting a deadly nerve agent causing paralysis and death within minutes.
Strategy[]
Toxiraptors excel at physical attacks and will attack any Hero, bringing their poison after successful strikes. Be wary if you find them in large groups because this can be dangerous because their poison may not stack, but you can get poisoned another time so killing them from afar works best.
Sage, despite being a Bio hero is very good at killing off Toxiraptors using his Strangling Briars to weaken the approaching Toxiraptors which makes it easier to finish them off. If Toxiraptors manage to surround you, use Andromeda's Repulsion Sphere to give you some space.
Before they attack, they roar, giving ranged and/or fast Heroes a chance to attack them.
Trivia[]
- Although they were featured in the Toxiraptor Template Challenge, they do not look exactly like the winning creation, although was likely inspired by it. However certain Elites are able to assume the form of some of the Template Challenge Entries from Spore, though these "Special" Elites are fairly rare...
- ...though you could be lucky enough to fight two different Emerald Toxiraptors on the same level. Consider yourself lucky if you managed to survive such an encounter.
- They have Savage's head and Viper's feet.
- They were once called "Emerald Toxiraptors". However, no such name has been reported in the game.
- The detail items on their backs are the "Nurple" part from Spore.
- Conveniently, Toxiraptors seem to be based off of Velociraptors, a species of dinosaurs famed by their great speed and agility. The big difference between them and Toxiraptors is that the latter does not have any arms.
