When the Raptura first started to come on to land (Formerly called Rapt)they almost immediately evolved into what they look like today, however they didn't evolve the ability to walk on two legs, instead they walked on four legs for most of their time as an animal. It wasn't until the peak of their time they started to learn to walk on two legs.

Years of existence:2,195,050,000-2,195,683,000
As a sentient being the Raptura had a complex work in making weapons they would could take any raw material (I.E. Rock, wood, or even a rotting carcass) and turn it into a deadly weapon. This ability that was learned is what allowed the Raptura to become the primary species of their home planet Taliopleus.
