Raptors, were proto-astartes of the Raven Guard legion during the Horus Heresy.
History
The raptors were a meld of regular Astartes and Primarch DNA found by Corax on Luna. The Raptors were stronger, faster, and tougher than regular Marines, even Veterans.[1a] The Raptors' first official engagement was on the moon called Cruciax which was a Word Bearer monitoring station.[1b] The Raven Guard discovered and fought the mutated Word Bearers and destroyed the outpost with Melta Bombs.
Word of this reached the ears of Omegon, twin primarch of the Alpha Legion, whom had been laying dormant on Kiavahr below stirring up a rebellion amongst the tech guilds, and he sprung into action. The rebellion and even the Alpha Legionnaires supporting it were a distraction, while the Raven Guard were caught off guard, Omegon and several Alpha Legion operatives managed to covertly spike the gene tech with a daemon blood poison (while managing to keep the pure technology for themselves) using the Raven Guard gene-seed to produce deformed monsters. The battle finally began as the first Raven Guard recruits to receive the secretly spiked gene seed were implanted, and by the time it raged into the gene labs of Ravendelve, only to be met by deformed warriors created by the spiked gene seed's effects. While deformed, these astartes still fought with otherworldly strength, overpowering even the Alpha Legion Astartes.[1]
