Astroraptor

The Astroraptor is an extinct bipedal carnivorous creature that once wandered the plains of Sahul. Scholars have deduced that these creatures were most likely fast, deadly and intelligent. Fossils have been found all throughout Sahul.

Description
The astroraptor has an average length of 5 to 6 meters measuring from head to tail. There is much discussion about the weight of the astroraptor, some scholars say it must have weighed at least 300 kilogram while others think it weighed between 90-200 kilogram. The skull is approximately 40 centimetres long.

Distinguishing traits
These creatures were covered in feathers that glittered in the light of the stars. Hence the name astroraptor. These feathers were most likely used to find someone to mate with as these glistering feathers have only been found on male astroraptors.

Feathers
Only a hand full of feathers have been known to exist within Sahul. These feathers provide a beautiful glistering and have therefore highly sought after. Most feathers that have been found have gone missing throughout the ages. The Dwarven Kaiser owned an astrofeather which was crafted into his crown. It was however lost during the Troigh Leud.

Folklore
Many mothers will tell their children tales of these beast still roaming parts of the outback, all to make sure that they stay close to home.
