JP: Troodon Pectinodon [OLD]

Description

Troodon is most famous as being considered the smartest dinosaur ever found, and stars as one of the main "villains" of Jurassic Park: The Game; in reality, it would have been covered in feathers, had visible pupils, and had bird like hands (its high levels of intelligence are in fact very real).

In the JP universe, this is a female Troodon Pectinodon (Troodon (Ghost Eyes as nicked named by staff)), though males look this way as well. Troodon was first cloned on Isla Nublar by Dr. Sorkin and Dr. Wu; the species seen on Isla Nublar were actually never recorded in the fossil record, though this could most likely be from the genetic alterations made to the animal's DNA.

It is highly intelligent, capable of forming complex pack behaviors, which rival that of Velociraptor Sornaensis (Sorna Raptors), and hunting strategies. It has a powerful venom, similar to that of Komodo Dragons, which cause the victims to experience hallucinations, mass sensations of pain, high fevers, paralysis, and eventually brain death; this leaves the victim incapable of moving, but very much alive. Troodon often lay their eggs inside the torso of their "dead" prey, giving the eggs incubation and the future chicks their first meal.

The Troodon is nocturnal, using their large "glowing" eyes to hunt in the tunnels and dark environments, along with their clicks and creepy chirps. Due to their extremely high level of danger and their low levels of entertainment value (being nocturnal), John Hammond gave the order to euthanize the whole species; they were taken from their original pen and placed in quarantine, where they were secretly kept alive by Dr. Sorkin. They eventually managed to escape their holding pens during the the Isla Nublar incident; it is unknown, but highly likely that Troodon is found on Isla Sorna as well.

This particular Troodon, named Xeno, is a character created by The Dino Hunter on Jurassic Park Legacy for the Live the Legend role-playing game. She was born during the Isla Nublar bombing, and managed to survive; she is now alpha female of a Troodon pack. CloneTrooper101 asked me to draw Xeno, and here she is in all her glory.

It took me more than 4 days to draw this from start to finish; I used a mechanical pencil for the lines, and colored pencils for the color.

It's actually not out of the question that the troodon could have survived the napalm bombing. The underground tunnels would give them shelter, so as long as they remained hidden in there until the flames died out they'd be fine. Same goes for the raptors, though I'd hate to have to choose between rooming with Troodon or burning alive.
