Desmodusaurus (SciiFii)

Desmodusaurus vampyrus is a species of diurnal bird-like non-avian alvarezsaurid theropod dinosaur that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii. Desmodusaurus vampyrus was originally planned to be included in the Extended Mesozoic section of Cretaceous Park located at Sacramento, California, but all 30 Desmodusaurus vampyrus were accidentally let loose after their transport cages were unintentionally left open. Ever since that event, the feral Desmodusaurus vampyrus population had exploded to almost a million throughout California, Nevada, and Oregon, flourishing due to the species being highly adaptable and due to the abundant food sources for the species to thrive. Desmodusaurus vampyrus is a small and lightly built animal, growing on average of about 60 cm (2 ft) in length and weighing a little less than a farm chicken. It is a carnivore that feeds exclusively on parasitic insects, ticks, and blood of larger animals, filling the similar ecological niche to the oxpeckers of Africa, and like them, Desmodusaurus vampyrus is a parasite, as it is known to open small wounds of larger animals, including humans, to feast on the blood. Despite this behavior, Desmodusaurus vampyrus does not carry diseases or viruses, so they are mostly safe to be around, although its parasitic behavior irritates most terrestrial non-sapient animals. Desmodusaurus vampyrus is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its life alone except during breeding seasons. The conservation status of Desmodusaurus vampyrus is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the animal's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
