Wild: Microraptor gnarilongus is one of the smallest non-avian dinosaurs on the island. Incredibly fast for its size, Microraptor is a voracious carnivore.

Domesticated: While not a powerhouse against armed enemies, Microraptor is particularly suited at bringing down enemy riders. Microraptor's natural tendency to attack weaker creatures means they ignore the mount while attacking the rider with leaps of fury.

Known Information: Aggressive towards anything its size or smaller, Microraptor fancies itself an apex predator. It will attack humans on sight, especially if it's not alone. When hunting, Microraptor's speed is only one of its assets. While not quite capable of sustained flight, its wings allow it to stay aloft for several seconds while jumping. This allows Microraptor to attack its prey's vulnerable areas, as well as search for small river fish.

Behavior
In spite of the dossier's statement of the Microraptor being an aggressive hunter, this is only partially true. The Microraptor will attack a survivor that comes close, but only stuns them briefly before fleeing, without doing much damage to the survivor. They seem more skittish and timid rather than truly predatory.
Appearance
Microraptor is a small carnivorous dinosaur strongly resembling a bird with a reptilian face. The large feathers on their limbs act as primitive wings, allowing them to glide for short distances in pursuit of arboreal prey or to attack mounted riders.
Color Scheme and Regions
This section displays the Microraptor's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Microraptor. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Microraptor will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID.
