Neoquadrusaurus (SciiFii)

Neoquadrusaurus imperatus, also known as the monopod, the unipod, and the uniped, is a species of silesaurid dinosauriform reptile that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii. The monopod was originally planned to be featured in the Expanded Mesozoic section of Cretaceous Park located in Sacramento, California, but around 2:21 AM on February 17th, 2049, an unidentified group of criminals stole all of the approximately 43 hatchlings, possibly for the black market, however, the criminals accidentally left the cages for the animals open and let them loose into the nearby woodland environment. Ever since this incident, the populations of the monopods in northern California had increased from just 43 to more than 800 in just 3 decades, and the populations are still growing. The monopod was initially named due to people who imagined the animal as having only one hind legs, but as in other terrestrial vertebrates, the monopod has two fully-functional hindlimbs, despite its name. The monopod usually measures approximately 2.3 meters (7.5 feet) in length. Lightly built, it is a fast and agile animal with an active lifestyle. The snout is narrow with forward-pointing nostrils, and the large orbits provides the monopod with acute vision. The monopod is an omnivore, feeding primarily on leaves, shrubs, pine needles, roots, shoots, and insects, although it may occasionally feed on smaller vertebrates. The teeth of the monopod are small, conical, and serrated, and are distributed irregularly in its jaws. The tip of the dentary has no teeth, and it is instead covered by a keratinous beak. It uses the beak-like tip on its snout to accurately target prey in a way similar to birds. The monopod is a social animal that lives in herds of up to around 30 individuals at a time. When mating is finished, females search for nest sites. Nests are shallow dirt depressions engulfed with woody vegetation. Hens lay a clutch of 10–14 eggs, usually one per day. The eggs are incubated for at least 28 days. The chicks are precocial and nidifugous, leaving the nest in about 12–24 hours. The conservation status of the monopod is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the monopod's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
