Ubirajara (SciiFii)

The hobgoblin-of-paradise (Ubirajara brazilensis, name meaning "Brazilian lord of the spear") is a species of non-avian compsognathid theropod dinosaur that originally lived during the early Cretaceous period in what is now Brazil as an extinct species, Ubirajara jubatus, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. The hobgoblin-of-paradise is a small animal, growing to be about a meter long and weigh about as much as a common hobgoblin (Compsognathus neolongipes), a closely related species. Just like the hobgoblin, it is an omnivore, possibly unlike its ancestors (likely due to SciiFii using their own Compsognathus as a base for this animal), feeding primarily on seeds, grains, rice, leaves, berries, insects, spiders, scorpions, fish, frogs, small lizards, birds, eggs, small mammals, carrion, and man-made food. Unique among non-maniraptorian theropods and hence its name, the male of this species has 15-centimetre (5.9 in) integumentary structures projecting from his sides. Just like how the male standardwing birds-of-paradise use ornamental feathers, those ribbon-like structures are used by the males for display purposes, being erected in a courtship display to intimidate other rival males and to attract the females. The hobgoblins-of-paradise are found throughout South America and North America, most likely due to pet releases and/or escapees. Like the hobgoblins, it is either a solitary or social animal that can live in groups of up to around 25 at a time.
