Utahraptor

Utahraptor was the largest dromeasaur so far. It's current standing in size is 25 feet long, 6 feet tall, and 1000lbs, but I think it could get up to 8 feet tall and 1500 pounds. He was armed with extra long hand claws, amazing eye sight, a large brain for a dinosaur, and a 1 foot toe claw backed by extremely powerful legs. It could run at 20 mph for a short time, probably to get away from its one main threat, Acrocanthosaurus. It also lived with Dienonychus, but it probably wasn't to much of a threat to Utahraptor. Utahraptor also lived in a place and time where there was an occasional sauropod. It is wondered whether or not Utahraptor hunted in packs, but I think they would have a large gathering to take down a lost sauropod, which, if the kill was successful, would last them a long time. Utahraptor was a more primitive raptor, and most likely didn't have feathers, except for maybe a bright neck plume. It also wasn't the smartest raptor, but it didn't have to be because its main prey where probably Iguanadon and Tenontosaurus, which would provide a very decent meal. It also might have encountered Gastonia from time to time, but most likely just ignored it. As for Utahraptor visuals, they are below.
