Shri (SciiFii)

The Ichabod's goblin (Shri ichabodii), also known as the Crane's goblin, is a species of non-avian dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that originally lived in the Barun Goyot Formation in Khulsan, Mongolia, during the Late Cretaceous period as an extinct species, Shri devi, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. The Ichabod's goblin was originally planned to be featured in the now-scrapped Cretaceous Park: China, however, due to a shipment accident on February 29, 2049, which resulted in the death of an unidentified driver and 2 Ichabod's goblins, the 27 surviving Ichabod's goblins escaped into the Chinese wilderness and established breeding populations, which exploded to more than 500,000 individuals across China, Mongolia, and the Korean Peninsula ever since. The Ichabod's goblin is named after the fact that the original and extinct Shri species was found without a head preserved, and is named after Ichabod Crane, a fictional character haunted by a headless ghost. The Ichabod's goblin is a mid-sized dromaeosaurid, with adults measuring up to 2.07 meters (6 feet 9+1⁄2 inches) long, 0.5 meters (1 feet 7+1⁄2 inches) high at the hip, and weighing on average of up to 15 kilograms (33 lbs), although there are specimens that weigh heavier, and the largest specimen known weighed about 19.7 kilograms (43+1⁄2 lbs). The Ichabod's goblin has a coat of black feathers with white bands on its legs and tail, and dark red feathers on its wings as well a short feather crest. Like the closely related common goblin (Velociraptor americanus), the Ichabod's goblin has an elongated head with large eyes, which allows it to see well in the darkest of nights, and sharp teeth for ripping out chunks of flesh. The Ichabod's goblin is fully carnivorous and primarily feeds on insects, frogs, lizards, snakes, birds, small mammals, eggs, and carrion, although it can occasionally hunt live fish in shallow waters and, more rarely, hunt animals twice its size. The Ichabod's goblin is a rather solitary animal and prefers to live alone throughout most of its life except during the breeding seasons that takes place in mid-to-late winter. Like the common goblin, around 9-13 Ichabod's goblin eggs are laid in early spring and are cared for by their mothers until they hatch in early summer. The hatchlings are protected by their mothers for 4 months until they're almost fully grown and must fend for themselves, similarly to the common goblin of North America. Despite their carnivorous diet, the Ichabod's goblins are actually friendly towards sapient species, even willing to be petted by them and to play with them, in a manner similar to domestic cats and dogs, and are nonaggressive and nonpredatory towards the domestic animals. The conservation status of the Ichabod's goblin is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the Ichabod's goblin's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
