Talon is in his most vicious state when it comes to the defense of his raptor clan. Before the Cataclysms, Talon's home was peaceful and harmonious, but now Talon and his followers have been thrust into an unfamiliar life of power struggles, battling between tribes and dino-beasts. By taking down his foes, Talon just might make Urth his newfound home!
Appearance
Talon's design seems to follow that of Velociraptor. He is orange in color, with a white underside and shins, and irregular black stripes run all along his body. He has a feathery crest at the back of his skull, and has a Deinonychus style razor claw on his outermost toes. His clawed hands have three fingers on them, and his teeth are visible only in the front of his mouth.

Ending
For eons, Talon was a great chief of a Raptor clan on a hidden South Pacific island. When the great meteor rearranged the continents, Talon's island was brought in contact with the mainland. Wanting to ensure the safety of his wives and children, he set off to eliminate all dangers of the clan's welfare.
Now Raptors live a life of luxury, and humans are kept as cattle or hunted as sport while Raptors lounge about in the sunshine. His clan is completely safe, and Talon will be happy until the newcomers arrive...
