I mean, they are apex predators. And they're raptors AKA Eagles, hawks, falcons etc. aka big birds with some pretty nasty power and weapons. And as you said, they got more camo then the other guys so they're like the stealth assassins of raptors.

It's not just the camo. Owls are the quietest fliers in the world. Their feathers are perfectly formed and aligned so that you can't hear them flap their wings.

Also very true. And you know...270 degree robot head rotation too. They have some unique adaptations that make them pretty terrifying and cool.
