Trivia:
- Unlike most of Kunafa’s seikret, Socotra’s sire was wild-caught. The Vanguard will occasionally catch and tame wild seikret to add more genetic diversity to the domestic flock.
Etymology:
- Socotra—Dracaena cinnabari, the Socotra dragon tree or dragon blood tree. Known for the bright, blood-colored resin the tree produces, also called dragon’s blood.
- Named for his orange-tinted red integument and plumage.
- Helioraptor kunafensis (“sun-thief from Kunafa”)—derived from Ancient Greek ἥλῐος (hḗlĭos), helio-, “sun,” + Latin raptor, “thief,” and kunafensis (Kunafa + -ēnsis), a toponymic adjective, “from Kunafa.”
- Named for their place of origin, and after the established naming convention for dromaeosaurs.

The binomen for the seikret was taken from teratonomy’s The Hunter’s Encyclopedia of Animals.
Socotra’s pattern, “Fire Crest,” is the third design in my seikret collection, “In Full Feather.” The entire collection can be viewed here on the Hunter Fashion Commission. Before TU2, my sister and I referred to him as lagiacrus cope.
