Riptor

Riptor is a genetically engineered bioweapon created by Ultratech. A crossbreed of human and reptilian DNA, it combines a near human intelligence and problem-solving capability with the great ferocity of the extinct Raptor genera; together with various cybernetic and biotech enhancements. Ultratech, was founded in 1948 by Ryat Adams as the Ultrafine Atomic Technologies Company or the UATC, is a powerful and global megacorporation best known for organizing a sensational, no-holds-barred, fighting tournament called Killer Instinct. Along with the regular participants, experimental creations of Ultratech also fight in the tournament so that their abilities can be tested.

Riptor is a human/raptor hybrid, it's never been specified which of the Raptor genera Ultratech used the DNA samples of to engineer Riptor with, but it's morphology suggests it was either the species Utahraptor ostrommaysi (it's size) or Deinonychus antirrhopus (it's frame). She is about 7 feet tall in height and 9 feet in width from snout to tail, having the basic appearance of a velociraptor, the color of its scales being primarily orange with black stripes, not unlike that of a tiger with a more yellow under bellow, talons or plasma claws and a sickle talon on each foot having a near neon blue glow on them. Its muscle mass is distributed in a more reptilian and less humanoid manner, giving it a smaller chest and thinner arms. Its eyes are slightly larger and its head less pointed, and three flimsy spikes protrude from the back of its head. However, the biggest change by far are the cybernetic components. Metal bionics run down Riptor's back and down to the end of its tail, and its claws have been given blue energy enhancements. In place of its signature shackles are metal plates. The hexagonal patterns along its body slowly fade in an and out from light blue to black, and bar codes and the UltraTech logo are tattooed in several places. Its tail can now separate into several linked units to stretch out and attack. can breathe fire, whether it be a short plume from her throat or an arcing fireball mortar. Her tail can also separate into several linked units to stretch out and attack, similarly to the Snake Sword used by the character Ivy in the Soul Calibur series.

Riptor’s personality is difficult to determine due to its animalistic reptilian nature. It is a cunning and clever hunter who leads her pack of Stalkers with power and authority, quickly striking down the enemies of Ultratech with fierce genius. It is quite intelligent for an animal, though it still can’t resist some of its primal instincts, and in the end all it really wants is a good meal of fresh meat. the beast nicknamed 'Riptor' by others has barely reached 4 years (20 in human years) of age before it first demonstrates its full savage power in a human kill. Riptor is confused and often finds itself torn between human reasoning and predatory instincts, resorting to attack when it fails to understand the situation, as ever more people find out the hard way.
