Etymology
Velocidrome and its minions are named after the Velociraptor, a kind of dinosaur of Mongolia and China during late Cretaceous period. In Japanese name was ランポス (ranposu), in conlang of Wyvernian: Reampoz or Lampodh, means "blue stripes".

These carnivorous monsters travel in packs and inhabit many different environments. The Velocidrome have large, bright red crest over its blue hide signifies to other Velociprey that it is fit to be their leader.
Abilities
Velociprey are capable of leaping great distances, making them difficult to flee from, especially when delivering eggs and large ores. Due to its usual weak physical strength, Velocidrome are forced to group up into packs whilst hunting. Velocidrome gains the ability to inflict cyan-like white spit has the odd affect of a far-caster sending the enemy back to the same place.
Velocidrome is only Drome family has infamous for its accurate hitboxes and its hip check like Jaggis.

Ecology
Velociprey are a part of the Bird Wyvern classification. This species is led by the Velocidrome. Despite being a predatory species, Velociprey are low in the food chain. They may even become food for other large species of wyvern, although their speed and agility will discourage most of larger predators. They prey mostly on small herbivores such as Kelbi, Mosswine, and occasionally Aptonoth. Velociprey are weak, but together they pose a credible threat to hunters or even small wyverns. Rathian sometimes preys on Velociprey to feed her young, this indicates that some other predatory wyverns also prey on Velociprey for food. Velocidrome are in the middle of the food chain, feeding on Herbivores like Aptonoth. Though they can feed on weaker predator and herbivore species, larger predators are known to occasionally feed on them such as Abiorugu and Astalos.
From their highly developed brains, Velociprey can come up with a hunting plan quite quickly. The Velociprey will use a range of calls to talk to each other in order to cooperate properly. They usually surround prey, giving it little ways to escape, and attack by using their foot claws and hand claws. If their is a large pack, they can take down prey bigger than young Aptonoth. Inside of a Velociprey's beak is number of sharp, thin teeth. Though the teeth look delicate, they are surprisingly hard to break. Even bombs can't break a Velociprey's teeth. Velociprey have powerful legs for used running at high speeds after prey with claws used to injure prey.
Its speed and agility are its main strengths. Using these advantages, the Velocidrome will leap around in order to kill prey in a single slash of their hook-like toe claw. The Velocidrome is heavily set in its pack mentality and will rarely fight alone. To try to scare away potential predators, Velocidrome have colorful scales that act as warning colors. All Velocidrome have been seen spitting strange substances from their mouth. These Velocidromes have a strange sac that has variety of materials in them such as Farcasters and corrosive acids, which combines with their salvia, allowing them to spit a wide variety of substances at prey. The origin of this green spit of Velocidrome has the odd effect of a Farcaster sending the enemy back to position after eating an undescribable species of mushroom.
