Finished raptor in a sitting position measures approximately 12” from tail tip to foot and 10” from the top of the head to the bottom. Change your hook size or gauge to change the size of your raptor!

Color suggestions for each raptor:
Tanzil – red and pink, with blue markings, orange feathers, and yellow eyes
Dasher – light brown with dark brown markings, yellow feathers, and purple eyes
Trecker – light green and turquoise with yellow markings, turquoise feathers, and red eyes
Baby Zandalari Raptor – purple with charcoal gray markings, charcoal feathers, and turquoise eyes.

This pattern also includes some additional customization options at the end for an upper lip for your raptor OR how to create a more squared snout. The raptor I made (Tanzil) does not feature either of these. Simply pick which of the three versions you like best!
