Question can razorback see color?

can razorback see color?

if he is like a dog and can't
It would be a great prank to pull to 'paint' him in his sleep purple and say nothing for days!

We honestly don't know. The only other person on the campus who speaks Smart Ass Velociraptor is Jericho and no one can stand to be around him long enough to translate. Just one of those things Man Was Not Meant To Know...

that might make sense that razor does not --then he can stand Jericho's wardrobe too?

Imp might know, based on his art.

He uses colour in his drawings, and occasionally Jericho's outfits will make even him gag. So I'd say yes he sees colour, at least some colours.

I've bin assuming that Razers high regen was healing his eyes and brain damage it causes.

And, by the way, the "dogs cannot see color" thing is wrong. Dogs (like most mammals ) don't have as elaborate a color sense as humans, due to having only two types of cone cells, while humans have three (or even sometimes four ) types of cones. Dogs can't tell red from green, but they CAN tell blue from everything else. That's why you should buy blue toys for your dog.

Also, evidence suggests that tetrachromacy was more common in ancient species, and it's common in birds, which are related to theropods. So, instead of partially colour-blind, it may very well be that Razor can see into the near ultraviolet.

One had green scales creeping along the edges of her face, and the other looked normal save for the reptilian slitted eyes in blue that both girls shared, while both stuck their tongues out at the viewer, one pink, one forked and black. The colors set an interesting contrast against the grayscale face-studies.

Green scales, blue eyes, and a pink tongue. Looks like Razor at least sees most if not all of the Human spectrum.

Or at least, he can color with them. That's not necessarily the same thing, although it is a good indicator.

Really? I thought Razor would love Canadian comedy!

Actually thats deliberate. Jericho has certain combinations of clothing that hurt Razor's eyes. He stops wearing them as soon as he finds out and arranges his closet so that it doesn't happen. It comes up in one of the stories when Jericho accidently wears a colour combination that bothers Razor and apologizes immediately stating someone must have messed with his closet.

I don't remember which story this is in though, I could look but given it might happen in any of the first year gen one stories that feature them I don't like my chances of finding it in a timely manner.

Call the Thunder part 5:

Jericho grinned as the two blithely walked past Emerson, much to the irritation of some of the less forgiving boys on campus. Among the prettyboy dorm, Jericho was the weird, blind nerd-freak who they often openly called a fag due to his manner of dress. And speaking of dresses, Jericho’s kilt was an odd shade of puke green mixed with lime green in a plaid color that hurt the eyes. The dark purple Moiré patterned shirt was nausea inducing. Even Razorback couldn’t look at those weirdly reflective patterns without his stomach lurching.

-Dude, why did you have to pick that shirt out? You know how painful it is to look at.-

“I thought I grabbed the gold silk one. It was supposed to be the third one over in the hangar.” Jericho turned his head toward his buddy.

-Joe you grabbed the purple Moiré thing that made me barf when we met.-

“Shit, bro, I’m sorry. I’ll try to get it changed tonight when we get a moment.” Jericho sounded irritated, and he was. He just happened to have picked out a piece of clothing that was actually designed to make other people sick which was something he usually reserved for dealing with jerks, not tormenting his own buddies.
