In a Mesozoic world without electricity, dental batteries would likely be the more familiar kind of battery.

It is convenient that MLP has done an analogous "fictional character turns out to be real all along" situation, even if I'm not the biggest fan of that episode. (Have I been talking more about things I don't like about the show rather than things I like? I enjoy the show, I swear.)

Funnily, Daring Do is already an expy of a different character from mainstream fiction (Indiana Jones), but Rainbow Dash doesn't need to know that.

In which I demonstrate that I cannot draw elephants. Must be why those gomphotheres never showed up back in the day.

I would have liked to do more scenes like this, showing interactions between the Raptormaniacs and My Little Maniraptor characters, but I feel that it would have dragged the story on for too long, so I'll leave it up to imagination what happened with the other groups that split up on this page.

Last point of note, achievement unlocked: drawing Fluttershy in flight. Next goal: drawing Rainbow Dash not in flight.

Look, an actual full-body view of Ebeff.

Celestia is a woefully underused character on the original show. From a narrative perspective, it's entirely understandable that she needs to be written out regularly so the heroines can resolve problems on their own, but it feels like at least half the time she's sidelined in ways that seem undignified for such a reputedly powerful and wise character.

Fortunately, Raptormaniacs runs on absurdity, so I'm allowed to come up with silly reasons for why powerful characters aren't around to help when they're needed.

Is this the closest we've had to a full-body view of Ebeff? Probably.

I am not at all a fan of the Equestria Girls spin-off film series of MLP. (The sequels were admittedly slight improvements over the first installment, but that's not a high bar to reach.) It is perhaps ironic that I had to reference it a fair bit for this storyline, considering that it is the closest we have to canon regarding interdimensional shenanigans in MLP-verse. Hence, Twilight's exposition in the third panel (and Savape's jab at it).
