I think velociraptor definitely conjures the correct imagery here. However, it’s always bothered me that, in reality, velociraptors are small compared to Humans. Jurassic Park/World based their velociraptors on deinonychus. But, going by size, the “Velociraptors” you see in those movies are much closer to “Utahraptors”.

I like how dinosaurs are now commonly accepted to have had feathers
