Bio: Troodons are small, pack hunting species of troodontid dinosaurs that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous period around 77 millions of years ago. Their ancestors were brought to Sigmonia to be saved from the brink of extinction along with the other dinosaurs. They are now found throughout the jungles, glaciers, boreal birch forests, river valleys, temperate woodlands, bamboo forests, rocky mountains, lowlands, temperate rainforests, taiga forests, moorlands, temperate grasslands, highlands, redwood forests, alpine meadows, boreal forests, alpine grasslands, icy mountains and arctic and tundra regions of Sigmonia. Around 4 feet tall and 9 feet long in length, they're one of the most smallest dinosaurs that ever lived in Sigmonia. They are known to be extremely dangerous, especially in packs. Troodons are social animals, living in packs in order to hunt large prey and survive against other predators. Packs lead by an alpha male and/or female. They are known for bringing down large prey in large packs similar to that of wolves. These creatures are very well adapted to a nocturnal lifestyle, they have better eyesight at night as their eyes are large and bulbous without any visible pupils and appeared to glow in the darkness. They hide away and sleep during the daylight and they're extremely active at night. While in many ways, Troodons are similar to Velociraptors. The hands are strong with three grasping fingers tipped with sharp claws, and there is an enlarged claw on the second toe of each foot. While similar to a Velociraptor's killing claw, Troodons relied on their claw less while hunting, preferring to use their venomous bite to subdue their prey. Troodons are one one of five extant venomous dinosaurs; the other four being Dilophosaurus, Segisaurus, Sinornithosaurus and Compsognathus. Their venom has the same effect as a heavy narcotic, causing massive drowsiness, hallucinations and eventual paralysis in human-sized animals; the upper limit of the effectiveness of the venom being on animals roughly four times
