Here's Your Dinosauroid

I think I've mentioned before that we had a no dinosauroids policy at the Speculative Dinosaur Project. On top of that, as a kind of Take That to the nigh-univerally hated* Russell dinosauroid nearly all troodontids got killed off and their only surviving representatives became the Spec equivalent of a fairly unintelligent flightless bird.

So that's the story behind the Nandrake and why Spec has so very few troodontids.

(*well, in paleoart circles at least)
