I know we got a feathered species pack previously. However, upon reviewing what feathered species species we currently have in the game, I realized most of the feathered species we currently have in the game are carnivores. I also know we only have three omnivores currently in the game, specifically Oviraptor, Gigantoraptor, and Deinocheirus. I think it would be cool if the developers added more feathered herbivore and omnivore species into the game. Some species that could work include:
Nqwebasaurus, A basal coelurosaur and is the basal-most member of the coelurosaurian clade Ornithomimosauria from the Early Cretaceous of South Africa. The name Nqwebasaurus is derived from the Xhosa word "Nqweba" which is the local name for the Kirkwood district, and "thwazi" is ancient Xhosa for "fast runner". Currently it is the oldest coelurosaur in Africa and shows that basal coelurosaurian dinosaurs inhabited Gondwana 50 million years earlier than previously thought. It is the only fossil of its species found to date and was found in the Kirkwood Formation of the Uitenhage Group. Nqwebasaurus has the unofficial nickname "Kirky", due to being found in the Kirkwood.
Ornithomimus, A genus of ornithomimid theropod dinosaurs from the Campanian and Maastrichtian ages of Late Cretaceous Western North America. It is estimated to have grown to be around 3.8 meters (12 ft.) and its weight at 170 kilograms (370 lb.). Multiple specimens showed fossil evidence indicating they had feathers. Researchers believed it had a largely herbivorous diet. Its name means bird mimic
Harpymimus, A basal ornithomimosaurian theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Period of what is now Mongolia. Unlike later, more derived ornithomimosaurs, Harpymimus still possessed teeth, although they appear to have been restricted to the dentary of the lower jaw. The generic name Harpymimus is a reference to the fearsome Harpy of Greek mythology and derived from Greek ἅρπυια (harpyia), "Harpy", and μῖμος (mimos), "mimic". The specific name honours the late Soviet archeologist Alexey Pavlovich Okladnikov.
Pelecanimimus, an extinct genus of basal ("primitive") ornithomimosaurian dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Spain. It is notable for possessing more teeth than any other member of the Ornithomimosauria, or any other theropod. It is thought to have been a piscivore. Some researchers have speculated that Pelecanimimus might have been capable of flight or be a recent descendant from a flying animal. The generic name is derived from Latin pelecanus, "pelican", and mimus, "mimic", in reference to the long snout and throat pouch. The specific name is a reference to the large number of teeth possessed by this theropod and is derived from Greek πολύς (polys), "many" and ὀδούς (odous) "tooth".
Conchoraptor, a genus of oviraptorid dinosaurs from the Barun Goyot and Nemegt formations of Mongolia that lived during the Late Cretaceous epoch, about 70 million years ago. Conchoraptor was a small dinosaur, only 1–2 meters (3.3-6.6 feet) in length. Unlike many other oviraptorids, Conchoraptor lacked a head crest. It is believed to have been both a herbivore and a molluscivore. The generic name is derived from Greek konkhè, "mussel", and Latin raptor, "plunderer". This name reflects a hypothesis that oviraptorids, rather than preying primarily upon eggs as had been traditionally thought, may have been specialized to feed on mollusks. The specific name means "gracile" in Latin.
Leaellynasaura, A genus of small herbivorous ornithischian dinosaurs from the Albian stage of the Early Cretaceous (dated to between 118 and 110 million years ago), first discovered in Dinosaur Cove, Australia. It was featured in the walking with dinosaurs documentary series.
Incisivosaurus, A genus of small, probably herbivorous theropod dinosaurs from the early Cretaceous period of what is now the People's Republic of China. Its name means incisor lizard based on its prominent, rodent-like front teeth, which show wear patterns commonly found in plant-eating dinosaurs. It grew to be around 0.8–1 meters (2.6–3.3 feet) long and its weighed around 2–4.6 kg (4.4–10 lbs.).This species appeared in the Prehistoric Park documentary series.
Ganzhousaurus, An extinct genus of oviraptorid dinosaur known from the Late Cretaceous Nanxiong Formation of Nankang County, Ganzhou City of Jiangxi Province, southern China.
It is distinguished from other oviraptorids by a combination of primitive and derived features. It had a primarily herbivorous diet.
Falcarius, a genus of primitive Therizinosaur dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period in what is now North America in the Cedar Mountain Formation. Falcarius is the most basal known definitive therizinosaurian genus. It grew to be around 4-5 meters (13-16 feet) long, weighing approximately 100 kg (220 lb.). Its name means sickle cutter.
Beipiaosaurus, A genus of therizinosauroid theropod dinosaurs that lived in Asia during the Early Cretaceous in the Yixian Formation. Before the discovery of Yutyrannus, Beipiaosaurus were among the heaviest dinosaurs known from direct evidence to be feathered. Numerous impressions of feather structures were preserved that allowed researchers to determine the feathering color which turned out to be brownish. It grew to be around 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) long and weighing about 27 kilograms (60 lb.).
uivenator, An extinct genus of therizinosaurian theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Japan. The skeleton of F. paradoxus is currently the most complete non-avian dinosaur fossil found in Japan. It grew to be around 8 feet long and an estimated weight of 25 kilograms. The generic name combines a reference to the ui prefecture with Latin venator, "hunter". The specific name refers to the paradoxical combination of traits shown by the species.
Kulindadromeus, A herbivorous dinosaur, a basal neornithischian from the Middle Jurassic. The first Kulindadromeus fossil was found in Russia. Its feather-like integument is evidence for protofeathers being basal to Ornithischia and possibly Dinosauria as a whole, rather than just to Coelurosauria, as previously suspected. Kulindadromeus is featured on the flag and coat of arms of Russia's Chernyshevsky District, where it was discovered.
Bonapartenykus, A monospecific genus of alvarezsauroid dinosaur from Argentina that lived during the Late Cretaceous in what is now the upper Allen Formation of the Río Negro Province. It has an estimated length of 2.5 meters (8.2 ft.) and weight of 72 kilograms (159 lb.), making it the largest member of the clade Alvarezsauroidea. The genus name means José F. Bonaparte's claw, who was a famous paleontologist from Argentina. (Not sure what its diet was, but most of its relatives were insectivores. Given its size I don't this one was, but I could be wrong.)
Nqwebasaurus, A basal coelurosaur and is the basal-most member of the coelurosaurian clade Ornithomimosauria from the Early Cretaceous of South Africa. The name Nqwebasaurus is derived from the Xhosa word "Nqweba" which is the local name for the Kirkwood district, and "thwazi" is ancient Xhosa for "fast runner".
