Segisaurus - The missing 1993 dinosaur

With the upcoming release of Return to Jurassic Park, players will not only get to build their island using the original park theme and aesthetic but also populate them with two brand new animals, Compsognathus and Pteranodon. These animals were both planned for exhibition in Jurassic Park, along with T. rex, Velociraptor, Dilophosaurus, Herrerasaurus, Baryonyx, Proceratosaurus, Metriacanthosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Gallimimus, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus and Stegosaurus.

All of the aforementioned animals from the 1993 brochure are now in JWE, except for one; Segisaurus.

Segisaurus is a small carnivore that lived during the Early Jurassic period in North America, and was similar in size to Compsognathus. Admittedly this particular dinosaur is rather obscure even for Jurassic Park fans, its only appearance has been in the brochure.

However, I believe Segisaurus would be a wonderful addition to Jurassic World Evolution, it would provide players the opportunity to recreate Jurassic Park as it was originally planned to open and a historical moment for the franchise overall, showing what this dinosaur would have looked like had it been depicted in the movies.
 
Maybe it'll be included in the Return to Jurassic Park DLC. I sure hope so.

I don't think this is happening. Should any other species were included in the DLC, they would have been announced alongside Compys and Pteranodons. Those two are fine with me, however, provided they are treated the same way as other dinos. So far, Compys are confirmed yes. I only need to know about Pteranodons...

Anyway, I can picture Segisaurus on some future dino pack. It will soon became the new 'most requested species'...

I wouldn't count on it, the requests for Coelophysis (even as a Jurassic Pack member) eclipse it by a fair bit.

That said, the advantage of Segisaurus is creative freedom, due to it's fragmentary nature (not that having the fossil mostly complete stops Frontier), so I wouldn't be surprised for it to take aspects from a slew of early theropods, like Zupaysaurus for example.
