Oviraptor

* Overview
* Carnivores Cityscape
* Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter

The ***Oviraptor*** was an odd theropod dinosaur featured in *Carnivores Cityscape* and *Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter*. Click on the tabs for more in-depth information regarding their roles in different games.

The ***Oviraptor*** is one of the few feathered dinosaurs on the planet. It is featured in *Carnivores Cityscape*.

## Biology

The *Oviraptor* meaning "Egg Thief" uses its powerful beak to eat smaller animals and perhaps eggs. The dinosaur is covered in tan and brown feathers on its body, legs, and tail. The feathers are yellow on the neck and back, and it has a red crest on its head. The *Oviraptor* has scaly blue legs, and a blue and red head with an yellow stripe surrounding its beak. Its closest relatives would include the ***Oviraptor*** and the *Gigantoraptor* of the Central Sector. Its appearance happens to resemble the terror birds, *Titanis* and *Diatryma* in the Arctic Sector, perhaps as the result of convergent evolution.
It's most well known as being one of the invasive species of the Crater City Incident.

## *Carnivores Cityscape*

In *Carnivores Cityscape*, they're first found by the agent on the ship near the reactor where it is warm and food is abundant. Later in the game, they can be encountered in the Aqueducts and the power generator room of Crater City. Even later in the Agent's campaign still, they can be encountered at the L Train tracks and subway areas. Especially while Norton is repairing the train and in the last area at the Chemical Complex, being attracted to the Pheromones stored by DinoHunt Corp. there. Usually, a Single direct Grenade Launcher or X-Rifle Blast are enough to bring one down and severely damage others nearby.

In the Dinosaur Campaign, it is the third dinosaur you get to play as. It is also the only dinosaur the player can encounter as a dinosaur outside of ambient animals. They appear in a few places in the sewers. There's also an invincible one hidden in Norton's nightmare that cannot be found normally but it can occasionally be heard. It is possible to get it to appear with the Ghost Cheat however. It takes about two right mouse click slashes to kill an agent as an *Oviraptor*.

The ***Oviraptor*** was an odd theropod dinosaur. *Oviraptor* was originally thought to be an egg eater, because some of its first remains were found on top of a nest of presumed *Protoceratops* eggs. It was later discovered that the eggs were the *Oviraptor*'s, and it was just guarding its nest.

## Biology

It is believed that *Oviraptor* is a dangerous omnivore, possessing a very powerful beak capable of crushing egg shells, shellfish, and the skulls of smaller animals. Unlike Earth's *Oviraptor*, the FMM UV-32 variants lives up to it's name. As of the latest update, *Oviraptor* are dull colored, most of their body being a brown-ish color with a colorful blue crest and a darker blue stripe running down it's back with it branching out into smaller stripes.

## *Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter*

Part of the June 20, 2012 update for *Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter*, the *Oviraptor* is extremely dangerous. Tatem Games has stated that this *Oviraptor* is a slight nod to the *Cityscape* one and hopes that this one is more successful than its *Cityscape* counterpart. According to the Dinopedia, the *Oviraptor* has a very powerful beak capable of crushing eggshells, shellfish, and the skulls of smaller animals. Both sexes are known to be good parents, nurturing and protecting their eggs.
