The most bird-like dinosaur on Isla Panadero, Oviraptor Custosai is covered almost entirely in bright feathers and has a toothless beak-like mouth. Once believed to prefer a diet of eggs, we now know that these dinosaurs prefer a diet of large insects, lizards and small mammals. They are very loyal parents, never leaving a nest unattended.
Oviraptors are smaller than many other theropods such as Deinonychus and Herrerasaurus, but they have a strong bite and are also agile runners. They have a single center crest on their head which is often colorful. Each hand has three long claws, and like dromaeosaurs they are fully feathered.
