Atrociraptor (NuGen)

Atrociraptor welshii (name meaning "Robert Welsh's savage robber"), also known as the great red goblin, is a species of of non-avian dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that originally lived from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian stage) of Alberta, Canada, as an extinct species, Atrociraptor marshalli, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by NuGen. Atrociraptor welshii is a rather average-sized dromaeosaur, with its length at 6.5 feet (two metres) and its weight of about 15 kilograms (33 lbs). Atrociraptor welshii differs from Bambiraptor and other velociraptorines in its more isodont dentition—the teeth have different sizes but the same form—and short deep snout. Atrociraptor welshii is covered in a layer of reddish-brown feathers, hence its name. Atrociraptor welshii is known to hold burning sticks and twigs and use them underneath the animal's feathers to get rid of potential parasites. Atrociraptor welshii is a carnivore and primarily preys on animals about its size and smaller, using its claws to latch onto its prey and rips the animal apart with its sharp teeth, in a manner similar to birds of prey such as eagles and hawks. Atrociraptor welshii is mostly a solitary animal and prefers to live in most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. Atrociraptor welshii is found across the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America, most likely due to illegal pet trade, and the species is first recorded in the wild in August 27th, 2053, and many more have been found breeding in the wild, flourishing in their new environments. Despite this, Atrociraptor welshii is not considered as an invasive species, since no known native mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, or fish are declining from modern Atrociraptor welshii populations.
