Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edgy Edginess


 * Close Range- Velociraptor. The longer jaw vs. the Wolfen's wider jaw will allow the Raptor to gain a slight range advantage against the werewolf, and the serrated teeth, while lacking the raw killing power of the brutal fangs of their foe, will allow the Velociraptor to more easily shred and tear the meat from their bones and deal more deadly damage to the Wolfen. While the werewolf's jaw will do serious damage if and when it gets around something, the Velociraptor's jaw seems to have a slight edge- plus, I feel as if the Raptor would have a swifter attack speed with the jaw than the Wolfen- giving it an additional advantage.


 * Mid-Range- Wolfen. The surprise leg-claw on the Velociraptor is a dangerous and effective tool for killing, no doubts about that, but it would be hard to use in direct combat, and I seem to remember that it was commonly believed that the claw would have been relatively fragile and would have broken easily- though I admit it has been some years since my days of dinosaur interest. This means that the primary use of the claw would be the initial surprise lunge or an act of desperation. Velociraptor's claws also lack the advance use cases of their Wolfen foes, who are simply packing more developed claws here- their more evolved hands allowing them a greater number of potential actions and more diverse combat tactics.


 * Special- Wolfen. The Wolfen may be smaller than the Velociraptor, but that's just about the only X-Factor in the dinosaur's favor. The werewolf is smarter than the raptor, significantly faster, a more tactical thinker and capable of more advance strategies and tactics. Both have enhanced senses, but the thinking mind of the Wolfen will allow it to create more effective use-cases for their senses and skills, and combine that with speed and better claws, and the Wolfen is in a significant tactical advantage.


 * Deadliest Warrior- The Wolfen. The creature is faster, smarter, better equiped and all around more likely to overcome the deadly Raptors that they face.
