Sporsp Junior (Spit)

Better known as Spit, an unfortunate name for a raptor, given to him by his school mates as he has yet to learn how to control a lisp. Spitting is a natural behaviour for raptors but currently it is regarded as uncouth. Sporsp was expelled from school on his first day just for calling out his name for inclusion in the register.

Raptors are generally fairly fit, lean looking creatures with enormous amounts of energy and a large appetite. Spit has an enormous appetite and large amounts of energy which is slightly out of character so he is a little overweight and a little on the short side. However, he is no sloth and does keep pretty active usually to the detriment of those around him. His parents say he is boisterous and does not mean any harm. The neighbours are not quite as polite. He is constantly playing pranks and disrupting the peace of the neighbourhood and is usually referred to as a ‘rex’ (which is the ultimate insult to any civilised raptor as the rex is the only one whose social development has not kept pace with the rest of society).

Spit is no intellectual and as such thinks he has no future prospects. He says he is training to become a jail inmate. He is always looking for excitement and is not particularly worried about who this might affect.
