Alpha Female:
The alpha raptor is always a female since females dominate over males in pack hierarchy. She is mated to the alpha male, a raptor of her choosing. Her word is law and her offspring serve as the most important children. It is possible for her to be replaced, which requires a challenge by another female.
Alpha Male:
The Alpha male is the chosen mate of the alpha female and has the highest power, for males, in the pack hierarchy just above the beta male. Ironically, he serves as the second-in-command to the beta while hunting, but when the pack fights either another predator or another pack, the Alpha male is in charge.
Beta Male:
The lead Beta is always a male. Though Females preside over males in dominance, Beta is the only rank where the male has more power and authority. He is the raptor that leads the hunts and serves as the second-in-command to the Alpha male during fights and quarrels. He is the most trusted pack member to the Alpha female.
Beta Female:
The Beta female is mated to the Beta male. She is basically considered an omega, meaning she has no specific role, but has more power than regular omegas because she is the Beta female.
Omega:
They are the members of the pack. they are both male and female and are at the bottom of the pecking order. They are the raptors that go on hunts, expand the pack, fight, and protect the pack and its territory with their lives.
Nest Keeper:
Nest Keepers are the pregnant females, females with nests, and females with hatchlings. They are basically the mothers of the pack. They do not hunt or leave the territory until their hatchlings are full grown. They are in charge of staying in the territory and raising the offspring and babysitting the offspring of the Alpha Female while she is away.
Hatchling:
These are the offspring of the pack. The most important hatchlings are born of the Alpha. Because their mother is the leader of the pack, her offspring are the number one priority. Her young are to be protected first and treated with as much respect as their parents.
Outcast:
These raptors are the loners that wander the land, struggling to survive and searching for a pack to join, take over, or even try to start a new one themselves.
