Blue-face Pisceraptor

From the distance they look similiar to real birds, however up-close they look rather alien. This goes for the Pisceraptors, a clade of soarers convergently evolved with birds of prey. Their tails becoming powerful legs, with strong spring action to take to the air. The vental fins being strong but short support to prevent it from toppling onto it's sides, but can be used to grab onto moss-towers or to dig the ground.

This specific species of Pisceraptors fills a similiar niche to red hawks, chasing down small organisms like fellow soarers or small sniffaloos. Grabbing them with their ventral claws, and pinning them down with their hind leg. Unlike the pegasi they do not posses the teeth on their tongues, instead their beaks function similiar to birds. Grabbing bits of meat and swallowing it whole, or even the prey itself.

The pisceraptors unlike the raptors off earth posses litte/no parental care, often laying their eggs in shallow ponds and leaving them be. Once hatched the larve resemble strange little arowanas with little tufts off hair, due to their metamorphosis some have taken to amphibious roles while juveniles. However like the sailshiner, some of them stay in their larva forms. Essentially returning back to the waters which they came.
