Microraptor

==Summary==
Microraptor is a genus of small dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in China during the early Cretaceous, 125-120 million years ago. It is famous for its four-wing structure, similar to a biplane, that may have allowed to glide or even fly, likely between the tops of trees. The pigment of its feathers were also able to be determined, with a study showing its feathers were glossy and of black color similar to some modern birds.Li, Q.; Gao, K.-Q.; Meng, Q.; Clarke, J.A.; Shawkey, M.D.; D'Alba, L.; Pei, R.; Ellision, M.; Norell, M.A.; Vinther, J.

Attack Potency: Below Average Human level (Is thought to be a generalist feeder, eating small creatures such as lizards and mammals), higher via piercing damage
Speed: At least Below Average Human on ground (Would have had awkward movement and running due to its "Biplane" structureSullivan, C.; Hone, D.W.E.; Xu, X.; Zhang, F. (2010).

Lifting Strength: Below Average Human (M. Gui holotype had a mass of 0.5–1.4 kg, but could have reached 1.25–1.88 kg)
Striking Strength: Below Average Human level
Durability: Below Average Human level
Stamina: Unknown
Range: Below Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: Teeth, claws
