Predation
Named after Argos, Odysseus's faithful dog, argoraptors are also known for their speed, strength, and superior tracking skills. Argos are one of the more successful outcomes of SATI's early selective breeding program, created to be smart, loyal companions. They prefer to work in packs with other argos, treating their trainer as the de facto leader of their group.
