Oviraptor is a species of Oviraptorid from Asia. It was a small omnivorous dinosaur that ate both plants and animals, and possibly eggs. It had a sharp beak and feathered covered body. When Oviraptor was first discovered it was thought that the eggs it was found on were Protoceratops eggs, but later it was discovered that the eggs were Oviraptor eggs. Making them good moms, they perch on their nest to protect their eggs from the elements. The most notable Oviraptor is Olivia and her hatchlings.

Trivia[]
- Most Oviraptorids including Oviraptor sported a pair of tooth-like protuberances on their palates, which were likely used in feeding. This feature helps distinguish them from the closely related Caenagnathids, which lacked this adaptation entirely. Despite this, the model for the Oviraptor used in the series lacks these growths,
