[[File:Raidraptor-Crest.png|100px|left|thumb|The "Raidraptor" crest.]]
The "Raidraptor" monsters are based on various genus and species of [[Wikipedia:Bird of prey|birds of prey]], albeit with a mechanized appearance and equipped with weaponry. Most of the [[Level]] 4 monsters (with the exception of "[[Raidraptor - Necro Vulture]]") are based on the [[wikipedia:Lanius|lanius]], a genus of passerine birds in the shrike family, while most of the [[Extra Deck]] monsters are based on the [[wikipedia:Falcon|falcon]]. Additional monsters are based on vultures, eagles, and [[wikipedia:Strix (genus)|strixes]], a genus of earless owls. The Level 3 and [[Rank]] 3 monsters are based on eagles, while the members based on vultures and strixes have not a common Level or Rank. This scheme and naming pattern reflect the codenames of different members belonging to the same military unit.
All "Raidraptor" monsters display a signature crest somewhere on their bodies. The crest itself (or a modified version) also appears in the artwork of the various "[[Rank-Up Magic]]" [[Spell Card]]s related to this archetype.
In the English dub of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' anime, their [[Attack and effect names in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|attack names]] were all alliterative.
