Yes, but on topic Caldari seems to be a mix between mythical creatures and birds.

I think Caldari favour the use of fantastic or mythical creature names. Doesn't mean everyone has to follow the theme.

Yes, Raptors can be birds of prey. As far as dinosaurs... go read a paleontology book. Birds are descended from dinosaurs. Answers the age old question of what dinosaurs tasted like... chicken.

And what is a Drake if not a Male Duck?
Though there are a few exceptions the Caldari T1 line are named for birds while the Caldari T2 line are named for creatures of myth and legend. --

It seems that all Caldari names are from predators. Gallente is from the greek mythology. Amarr are about 'the dark side' as in curses/spells etc. Have'nt figured out the system in minnie vessels. Some is natural phenomenons, like etc. typhoon.

"Drake" is also a synonym for "Dragon".

Ferox?! Or Maybe this is a Ferox...
Rokh = Roc ?
Fox = Kitsune
Why name the Hictor after a rock?
The other names are pretty much well known animals or mythical creatures. __________________________________________________ Sup brosef! Destry's Lounge is looking for a few good drunks - contact me in game.

I hope sometimes people learn that wikipedia can help, but isn't complete.
Caldari ships are mostly named after (mythical-)animals (not just birds) which have similar traits like the ship. So most ships are predators.
Ferox is not an animal itself but part of many a predator's latin names (ferocious <insert animal here>).
Not sure why the dictor is called onyx.
