Velociprey are a very common raptor-like species. They have blue scales with black stripes, and a dull red and black monocrest on the top of their heads. These carnivorous creatures travel in packs and inhabit many different landscapes.
They have a larger, more ferocious leader named the Velocidrome.
An experienced hunter should have no trouble dealing with them, though a new hunter will have some trouble against these fierce opponents. Velociprey are capable of leaping great distances, making them difficult to flee from, especially when delivering eggs and large ores. They sometimes will be slashed in two when struck by a strong weapon (such as a fully charged Great Sword) or when sliced in midair (eg. Long Swords). When this happens the Velociprey will disappear when it lands and it cannot be carved.
Velociprey are kin to three subspecies of raptor: Giaprey, Genprey and Ioprey. These minions first appeared in the original Monster Hunter, except for Giaprey.
Velociprey are arguably the most common raptor species, appearing in the Jungle, Forest & Hills, and Sea of Trees.

It is possible that the Velociperys strength effects the strength of the Velocidrome; Velocipreys may die easily, but their attack style causes them to become a prominent annoyance in most cases. This results in a significant decrease in strength as far as the Velocidrome is concerned
