Troodon

**Troodon** are lively theropods that thrive in company. These small dinosaurs love to congregate in forest areas, hunting for juicy snacks. They even have different shapes of teeth that allow them to enjoy a filling omnivore diet!

## **Where to find**

### Dapplewood

Troodons can be found south-east of Marlo's house, near a giant amethyst.

During Jurassos and Cretumnus on sunny days when the water in the pond near their first spawn evaporates, Troodons can also be found in the bottom of the pond.

## Troodon in Real Life

"Troodon" is a dubious taxa belonging to the troodontidae clade of dinosaurs, with only teeth valid to its name at present, with specimens formerly assigned to it now existing as Stenonychosaurus and Latenivenatrix (however the latter may belong to the former, which is disputed). The animal called "Troodon" in Paleo Pines appears to be based off of Stenonychosaurus specimens, however there has been little confirmation from the development team about the specifics of this dinosaur and confirmation is pending.

Troodon means "wounding tooth" in Ancient Greek.
