Hypothetical life restoration as a megaraptoran. The type specimen of Rapator was originally described as a metacarpal I, a bone from the upper part of a theropod's hand. [3] It was later noted that the bone is similar to a finger bone, the first phalanx of the first finger, of an alvarezsaur [9] or of a primitive coelurosaurian similar to Nqwebasaurus. [10]
The specimen is 8 centimetres (3.1 in) long and 4 centimetres (1.6 in) wide at the lower end. From these measurements, a total length for the shinbone was estimated of about 17 to 20 centimetres (6.7 to 7.9 in) and for the animal as a whole of about 2 metres (6.6 ft).
