Information
This fight will pit two Mongolian maniraptorians together. A pair of 2 metre long Borogovia gracilicrus troodontids and a 3 metre long Citipati osmolskae oviraptorid. Both lived in Mongolia 70-64 million years ago, and Borogovia probably seeked out Citipati eggs as a source of protein. So, could a mother stand up to the thieves?
The fight
67 million years ago, a pregnant Borogovia gracilicrus named Sickle and her mate, Anchor, are hungry. Anchor, smaller than his mate, has been fetching Sickle extra food to nourish the eggs inside of her that she is about to lay. But, she is about to lay her eggs, and she needs extra nutrients. They want eggs, and they know a Citipati mother will have laid her eggs. They end up foraging, and come up upon a large Citipati nest. Little do they know that the mother of the eggs, Splay, is lurking nearby. She quickly starts honking and charging at the thieves to make them go away. But Anchor sees this as a threat and attacks Splay. Splay then goes into full war mode, attacking Anchor, biting his hand and then throwing him off her neck. She then starts to charge towards Sickle. She starts pecking and kicking Sickle, but Sickle climbs up the front if the mother and lodges her toe claw in Splay's throat. As the Citipati slumps to the ground, the thieves grab the eggs and take off.
