Scipionyx (SciiFii)

Scipionyx modernus (pronounced "SHIH-pee-oh-nicks mode-ern-is" or "ship-ee-OH-nicks mod-Er-ness"), also known the marbled hobgoblin, the rat-tailed hobgoblin (named for the tip of its tail being featherless and rat-like), the lemur dragon, and the Saint Helens dragon, is a species of compsognathid theropod dinosaur that originally lived from the Early Cretaceous of Italy, around 113 million years ago, as an extinct species, Scipionyx samniticus, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. Like other hobgoblins (Compsognathidae), the marbled hobgoblin is found as a wild animal throughout North America, mainland Eurasia, Japan, and Great Britain, as a result of an illegal pet trade. The marbled hobgoblin is a rather large compsognathid, growing to be about 6.5 feet (two metres) long on average. The marbled hobgoblin is a bipedal predator, its horizontal rump is balanced by a long tail. Its body is covered by primitive feathers. The marbled hobgoblin mainly feeds on lizards, snakes, frogs, fish, insects, crustaceans, small birds, small mammals, eggs, and carrion, although, possibly due to genetic engineering, it is known to feed on man-made food and, occasionally, leaves, fruits, and grains. The marbled hobgoblin is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its life except during the breeding seasons.
