The game could use for some small ornithopod dinosaurs to add some diversity to exhibits without needing lots of space and can handle higher population sizes than the pachys. Also some of the weird or bizarre looking species could make interesting additions to the parks. Some of these could come out in themed packs of dinosaurs. While making the list I thought of these for possible packs: the
Oddities pack (in purple)
offering weird and interesting species, an
Polar forests pack (in pale blue) offering species from Australia and Antarctica, a
South American pack (in tan), an
Oriental pack (in red) with species from China,
Pint sized plant-eaters (in green) for truly small herbivores like the small ornithopods.
Carnivores:
-
Guanlong- crested early tyrannosaur from china, preserves primitive feathers
-
Cryolophosaurus- forward facing crested relative of dilophosaurus from Antarctica (could also fit in the
Oddities pack)
-Ornitholestes- early maniraptoran from the Morrison formation. Small predator, some believe it had a small horn or crest on its nose (look at WWD from BBC).
- Dromaeosaurus- relative of Deinonychus from later in the cretaceous and from Canada
-
Masiakasaurus-bizarre small theropods from Madagascar with teeth in the front of the jaw that point forward and a slightly down curved lower jaw. Likely a fisher and scavenger.
-
Australovenator- a megaraptorid from Australia.
-
Qianzhousaurus
- a long snouted tyrannosaur from china (could also fit in the
Oriental pack)
Herbivores:
Sauropods:
-
Nigerasaurus
- bizarre looking diplodocoid with a down turned snout and a wide ended muzzle where all its teeth sat at the front.
-Dicraeosaurus- a small sauropod with a short neck
-
Amargasaurus- strange south American sauropods with long dual rowed spines down the neck and short sail or hump over back and hips. (could also fit in the
South American pack)
-Ampelosaurus- an armoured sauropod from France
-
Saltasaurus- an armoured sauropod from Argentina
-
Magyarosaurus- a cow sized sauropods from Romania
-
Bajadasaurus- similar to Amargasaurus but the spines point forward instead of back, also from South America. (could also fit in the
South American pack)
Ornithopods:
-
Dryosaurus- small bipedal herbivore
-
Zephyrosaurus- small bipedal herbivore like dryosaurus.
-
Leaellynasaura- small bipedal ornithopod from Australia which had large eyes to see in the dark of the polar winters. (could also fit in the
Pint sized plant-eaters)
-
Kulindadromeus- small bipedal ornithopod which preserves downy fuzz and scales including large rectangular scales forming rows on the tail. (could also fit in the
Pint sized plant-eaters)
-Camptosaurus- early relative of the iguanodonts from the Morrison and Portugal.
-
Othnielosaurus- small bipedal herbivore like dryosaurus.
-Tenontosaurus- relative of Iguanodon with a very long tail.
-Draconyx- a relative of Camptosaurus from Portugal
-Saurolophus- hadrosaur with a large backwards pointing spike on its head
-Lambeosaurus- a crested hadrosaur
-
Atlascoposaurus- a small bipedal herbivore (could also fit in the
Pint sized plant-eaters)
-
Morrosaurus- an iguanodon from Australia
-
Macrogryphosaurus- an iguanodont from South America
-
Jeholosaurus- small bipedal herbivore (could also fit in the
Pint sized Plant-eaters)
Ceratopsians:
-
Psittacosaurus- early ceratopsian with quills on its tail. Its true colors are known thanks to how its skin impressions were formed. The parrot lizard.
-Undanoceratops
-Regaliceratops
-Diabloceratops
-Kosmoceratops
-Nascutoceratops
-Medusaceratops
-Xenoceratops
-Rubeosaurus
-Machairoceratops
Armoured:
-
Minmi

Theropods:
- Nothronychus- therazinosaur from the US
- Therizinosaurus- largest Therazinosaur from Mongolia. Large pot belly, long neck, small head and big claws.
- Beipiaosaurus- therazinosaur from china which preserves fuzz and quills on its body.
-
Incisivosaurus- buck toothed oviraptors
-
Chilesaurus- a strange mash up of features from the three main branches of the dinosaur family tree
Omnivores:
Ornithopods:
-
Heterodontosaurus- similar to dryosaurs in appearance with the notable difference in having fanged teeth. Kinda like the dinosaur equivalent to modern musk deer.
-
Tianyulong- Chinese relative of Heterodontosaurus which also preserved fuzz and quills coating its body.
Theropods:
-
Deinocheirus- largest gallamimus. Had humped back, bulky head and massive arms.
-Oviraptor
-Gigantoraptor- largest oviraptor
-Citipati- an oviraptor
-Chirostenotes- an oviraptor
-Pelecanimimus- a gallimimus that preserved that it had a fleshy horn like crest on the back of its head and a pelican like pouch on its throat.
-Sinornithoides- a troodon
