Description
(2012 remake) Found in Mongolia, the 2m long Oviraptor seems to have been closely related to birds hence is probably feathered. It has a distinctive bony crest on its snout. It is most famous for being discovered preserved with eggs once thought to be those of Protoceratops, but are now thought to be those of Oviraptor. Since the habit of feasting on eggs is somewhat dropped, some experts say that Oviraptor probably ate small creatures such as crustraceans as well as small dinosaurs such as Shuvuuia. The nests of Oviraptor are almost close together with the ceratopsian Protoceratops and would be territorial against predatory dinosaurs. Even Oviraptor could defeat and kill a Velociraptor. Oviraptor was traditionally depicted with a distinctive crest, similar to that of the cassowary. However, re-examination of several oviraptorids show that this well-known, tall-crested species may actually belong to the genus Citipati, a relative of Oviraptor. It is likely that Oviraptor did have a crest, but its exact size and shape are unknown due to crushing in the skull of the only recognized specimen.

I got a question. Are Oviraptors part of the Raptor family? Or they have their own family group?

Take your time! I know you don't have free time, but keep a good work so I'm back! I'll find out that I'm late for the birthday gifts of mine? Good luck.

Dammit! I spent too much time on recreating my Oviraptor until I forgot to make meteorshowers' b-day gift! Damn now I don't have free time to play Spore!

I'm glad you like my Quetzalcoatlus, but the feet and wing shape are wrong, so don't get any ideas from it. Great Oviraptor, too.

This is the new Dinosaur Planet Oviraptor. I know the crest should be smaller.
