Venetodon

Venetodon was a small parvopod dinosaur that lived in Ummarnu throughout the Dracian period. During the Dracian, much of the Ummarnan desert was a vast jungle, with a land bridge connecting it to Syltör at its tip. This allowed Venetodon to migrate to Aurlûnor. At just 2m long and weighing an average 245kg, it is much smaller compared to other parvopods of it's time. However, it was capable of injecting venom into its prey.
Venomous Bite 
When scientists first discovered the tooth of Venetodon in the year 934 on the Aurlûnoren calendar, they discovered something very unusual. Most parvopods have karambit-shaped teeth, allowing them to slice through huge and thick chunks of flesh and muscle. However, Venetodon's teeth were dagger-shaped, with deep natural grooves on either side. This baffled scientists, as its teeth did not resemble that of any parvopod discovered to date. However, in 935, scientists in Ummarnu discovered an almost perfectly preserved skull of Venetedon. After being analyzed, they found a hole in the upper jaw, with vein stems stemming from that gap. This led scientists to confirm that instead of the traditional method of killing, Venetodon overwhelmed its prey with numbers, before injecting venom into its preys blood stream via the deep grooves in its teeth. Its prey would die of poisoning and blood loss.
An almost complete skeleton has been uncovered, only lacking half of its spine, as well as its right arm and pelvis. The parts that have been unearthed inlcude a skull from Huitca (935), a tooth from Sharla (934), half a spine from Erume (935), along with the rest of the skeleton from a dig in 936 in the uppermost Ardol Formation.
