Well, you couldn't call brute wyverns, brute raptors simply because the vast majority of the brute wyverns we've seen do not eat meat. 'Raptor' translated from its origins is 'Bird of Prey'. While you could argue that many animals have been misnamed wit this term, it would far from the truth with brute wyverns. None of them show any charateristics of birds, and only a couple eat meat (i.e. deviljho). I do agree, however, that they did evolve from monsters similar to the dromes and greats.
