A Palaeontology Student's Suggested Feathered Animals

My suggestions for feathered additions. I'm obviously not implying anywhere close to this number would get in but getting to talk about this is a fun exercise so please humour me. And to anyone who isn't aware of any of these animals I encourage you to look them up. Quite a few of the genera I'm sharing have unique traits.

And obviously many of these are Theropods, which is par for the course right now outside of more speculative territory.

Dinosauria

Halszkaraptor
, Nothing quite like it.

Balaur,

Psittacosaurus, or Protoceratops

Deinocheirus
,

Nanuqsaurus,

Sinosauropteryx (Please) (Definitely a favored choice since we know it's colouration)

Ornithomimus itself could be the first feathered ornithomimid in game.

Pelecanimimus,

A feathered Troodontid is due, I think Pectinodon is a sound choice, it's a tooth taxon but it has the hell creek pedigree this series lives on.

Yutyrannus makes obvious sense.

Mononykus

Gigantoraptor

Protarcheopteryx
or Caudipteryx, latter is a more obvious choice than the former, I just appreciate the name of the former, even if it isn't quite as it implies.

Leaellynasaura, More Australian dinosaurs would be nice.

Imperobator, another antarctic dinosaur.

Suzhousaurus, possibly the strangest therizinosauroid.

Alvarezsaurus,

Pegomastax,

Oryctodromeus a dinosaur that burrowed, check it out its a fascinating animal. I think it would be the favourite of a lot more people were it more popular.

Austroraptor,

Kulindadromeus,

Huanansaurus,

Anzu, (Oviraptorosaurs have catching up to do.)

Eotyrannus

Dromaeosaurus
(I think we should have a small dromaeosaurid so why not the namesake of the family itself.)

Pterosauria

Darwinopterus

Pterodactylus

Pterodaustro

Alanqa

Anurognathus or Jeholopterus

Thalassodromeus

Kunpengopterus
(A very good choice, the newly discovered second species, Kunpengopterus antipollicatus, was found to have opposable "thumbs"!)

Cryodrakon (Maybe more recently named genera need love too.)


Oh and one more thing. It isn't feather related but I feel like we're missing a typical abelisaur. Majungasaurus and Carnotaurus have their interesting quirks. But we don't have a more typical abelisaur. Rugops, Skorpiovenator, Abelisaurus, Kryptops or even Thanos. Pick any one please frontier!
(probably not Thanos though.)
 
Seem like that is a lot of creatures to add, I would have a feather creature pack that has these creatures.
Deinocheirus.

Yutyrannus


Mononykus

Anurognathus

Deinocheirus.

Yutyrannus

Mononykus

Anurognathus
Those are good choices. I didn't mean to imply all of these should be added, I just wanted to put forward a pool of the more unique choices that could be made.
