Also known as CHICKEN BOOOOOI!
Gigantoraptor is an extinct genus of giant oviraptorosaur from Late Cretaceous China, 71 to 65 million years ago.
About 26 ft (8 m) long and weighing as much as a car, this enormous Oviraptorosaur is far bigger than any of its known relatives. Like all oviraptorasaurs, Gigantoraptor almost certainly had long, flamboyant feathers on its arms.
Gigantoraptor is the largest beaked theropod so far; and unlike most large theropods it had much ganglier and thin limbs. It is thought that along with other advanced coelurosaurs, the Tyrannoraptorans (Tyrannosauroidea, Coeluridae, Ornithomimosauria, Alvarezsauroidea, Therizinosauria, Oviraptorosauria (its' own group), Deinonychosauria, and Avialae), it had a large portion of its body covered with feathers used for display. It is unknown exactly what it would eat, but most people assume that it would have a diet consisting of fruit, unfertilized eggs, small and medium sized dinosaurs and more. The specimen that was found was only eleven years of age; it is most likely that this life forms adult stage was much larger. At first when it was discovered by Xing Xu it was mistakenly classified it as a tyrannosaur. It is thought that its closest relatives was Caudipteryx. Several Gigantoraptor fossils have been found on top of nests, which showed that these dinosaurs sat on the nest to protect the egg. This is similar to modern day birds.
Sometimes I think about if regular people went back in time to the dinosaur period and ran into these dinosaurs that almost nobody has heard of. If I saw this thing I would call it a giant parrot eagle baby.
Or if we had never heard of dinosaurs and suddenly saw them in real life, we would call them giant death birds.
Goadstool promise: the next game will have AT LEAST ONE playable dino-sour
