"The Narrow Clawed Lizard": was a small predatory dino from Western North America. This troodontid lived roughly 76mya where it likely filled an ecological role similar to modern coyotes - hunting small prey & scavenging.

Daliansaurus liaoningensis is a ~1m troodontid unique among Paraves due to having two elongated sickle-like claws instead of one, at 2nd and 4th pedal digits ("similar" to Balaur bondoc, which has them at 1st and 2nd pedal digits).

This is a restoration from an artist called Xiphactinus and a few years ago, he made a restoration of an Anserimimus fighting back against a Troodontid with a Tarbosaurus watching from the background. Just shows how the most overlooked dinosaurs can be unpredictable.

Since it came up, here are my favorite 'troodon' (and kin) depictions.

Some five-year-old for troodontids meet Tusoteuthis. Fossil coleoids are famously difficult to reconstruct (all soft-tissue, virtually no skeleton), so it's sometimes best to bundle them up on a beach where no-one can tell what they're meant to look like.

Rebecca Gelernter has represented amazing hypothesys following current knowledge about feathered cretaceous paravians. Among her troodontids, the Anchiornis huxleyi is my favorite depiction of this species. Also excellent feathers in her current birds!

Irene C. Ribot has really stunning illustrations, amazing details with 0.03 ink markers, nice games of ligth and textures, a variated record... (and of course, troodontids🤘🏼)

Wish someday I can watch her exhibited works at Girona when pandemy allows it.

Day 4 of my dino challenge: troodontid, and I went with Gobivenator.
What happened to this family? I dunno. You decide.

I’ve been pretty productive with paleoart recently. Here’s my Pectinodon (Hell Creek Troodontid) in watercolors. This is sort of a redo of a much older painting and an even older colored pencil sketch.

Royal gryphon. My take on gryphons borrows a lot from dromaeosaurs and troodontids.
