Velocidrome (Velocidromaeus caeruleus, meaning "swift blue runner") is a genus of somewhat large theropod dinosaurs and one of many distantly related genera called  bird wyverns . Two species are currently recognized, although others have been assigned in the past. A second closely related species, V. arctica, the Giaprey/Giadrome was named in 2006. They are bipedal, featherless carnivore with a long tail and an enlarged sickle-shaped claw on each hindfoot, which is used to tackle and disembowel prey. They are the leader of a pack of Velociprey, slightly shorter members of the same species. They for some reason naturally have polydactyly(many digits), this may have unknown benefits.

Habitat Range
Velocidromes are known to inhabit the Forest and Hills, Old Jungle, Jungle, Everwood, Verdant Hills, Primal Forest, and Dawnwind Valley with their packs.

Ecological Niche
Despite being a predatory species, Velociprey are low in the food chain, while Velocidromes are in the middle. They may even become food for other large species of wyvern, although their speed and agility will discourage most larger predators. They prey mostly on small herbivores such as Kelbi, Mosswine, and occasionally Aptonoth. Velociprey are weak, but together they pose a credible threat to hunters or even small wyverns. Rathian sometimes preys on Velociprey to feed her young, this indicates that some other predatory wyverns also prey on Velociprey for food.

Behavior
Velocidrome give orders to the Velociprey while it constantly patrols its territory in search of intruders that have entered it. If an intruder is spotted, the Velocidrome will call for its pack before attacking the threat.

Metabolism
Velocis are warm-blooded to some degree, as they require a significant amount of energy to hunt. Most coelurosaurs have feathers, though the velocis might have lost them during evolution.
