Troodon formosus.

Size: Males are 1.5 blocks tall, 2.5 blocks long. Females are 1 block tall and 2 blocks long.

Prey: When alone: Chickens, Pigs, Cows, Sheep, Horses, Dodos, Compies, Velociraptors, Deinonychus, Confuciousornis, the player, and all baby animals except for Brachiosaurus babies.

When in a group: All of the above, Ceratosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Gallimimus, Dryosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, and terror birds. They will sometimes try to attack adult Triceratops, but will almost always die trying.

Predators: Tyrannosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Allosaurus, and Spinosaurus.

Appearance: It should look a little like Deinonychus, except more thin. Males have light blue feathers, a pink underbelly, and long orange "arm feathers." Females have green feathers, a yellow underbelly, and short purple arm feathers. Both genders have large eyes.

AI: Oh boy. This one's gonna be long.

Troodons will usually hunt alone, but sometimes they will gang up in a group of up to 10 to kill larger enemies. It is far smarter than other dinosaurs; its large brain allows it to pull levers, activate redstone contraptions, break through doors of all varieties, climb low-medium fences, raid chests, and execute multiple different attacks during battle.

Every ten Minecraft days is mating season. The season lasts for 5 Minecraft days. During this time, Troodons will be extremely aggressive. Males will arrange nests made of logs and skulls, and the nest will be 3 blocks wide, 3 blocks long, and 2 blocks tall. They will then lure a female to their nests. It is only at these times that females will reproduce. They lay 2-5 eggs a day, and then will stay at the nest while the males keeps guard. Anything that gets within 3 blocks of the nest will be brutally attacked. Troodons mate only once during the season. Once the season begins again the parents seperate and perform the ritual again.

Special Animations: When idle Troodon will perform many different animations. It will either swing one of its hands, bite the air, scratch its head, or lift one of its feet up. During battle Troodon can use 5 attacks.

It can pounce like a Velociraptor, swipe with one of its claws, grab onto the enemy's neck and bite hard, or pierce the enemy with its toe claw. But its most lethal attack is its swift bite. The Troodon quickly bites the target and runs away. The victim will take damage from the infection, then be inflicted with severe nausea, causing their sense of balance and direction to be messed up greatly and the screen to blur. After enough seconds of this condition, the victim collapses. Everything in their eyesight goes pitch black and they die.

Health: 10 hearts.

Damage:

Pounce: 2 hearts plus 1 heart every 1 second.

Swipe: 1 heart.

Neck Grab: 2 hearts plus 3 hearts two seconds later. The only way to escape this attack is to hit it before it bites down.

Piercing: 4 hearts. It can hit anywhere on the target. If it hits the heart or neck the victim dies instantly.

Infecting Bite: No damage on contact. But after some time it becomes an instant kill. The time it takes for an instant kill is measured by:

2[(Animal's age) + (Length*Height)]

If the target is a vanilla Minecraft mob with no age, the age is set to 0.

So for example, if the player gets bitten, it takes them 5[(0 + 1*2)], so it takes just 10 seconds to kill the player. If the bite hits an adult Triceratops, it takes 5[(12 + 9*5)], or 4 minuts and 45 seconds, to kill the adult.

Prefered biome: A cold biome, but the best biome for them is a mega tagia. OK, I know you put quite a bit of effort into this, and I know I'm gonna be a Johnny Raincloud again, but most of us can do without the bright neon color, the extreme intelligence (I'm pretty sure Troodon was only slightly smarter than a human), the septic bite, and the selection of large prey that can easily kill it (like Ceratosaurus, Phorusrhacos, Gallimimus, and Parasaurolophus).

Otherwise, a better suggestion (although it would take a bit of time to code).
