Before starting, I have to say I've got inspired by someone (you know who you are ;) ).
So, let the party begin!
10. Sinornithosaurus

This is a very small dinosaur, long only 3feet (90cm). However, it is a vicious hunter: it has a sickle-claw on the second toe of each foot, many serrated teeth, the ability to glide, and most important, a deadly, venomous bite.
Only the hardcore dinosaurs fanatics know it, making this small theropod the 10th entry on this list.
9. Utahraptor.

This large Dromaeosaurus is a deadly fury: with large sickle claws, sharp teeth, binocular vision, intelligence, and a great size (24ft long) this is certainlly a great predator.
However, general public doesn't even know what a Utahraptor is, making it the 9th most underrated dinosaur.
8. Therizinosaurus

This large herbivore is the 8th dinosaur in our list. What an irony! I would surely know of a 30ft (9m) beaked dinosaur, with a long neck, a wide body, and 3ft long claws!
7. Shantungosaurus

This is your classic hadrosaur: a pretty stupid, duck-billed dinosaur. If it wasn't for its gigantic size, that makes it the biggest non-sauropod dinosaur, I would agree it being underrated. But, with 42-45ft long (12,2- 13m) and 9-13 tons, this animal is truly a huge beast!
6. Suchomimus
[img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110823094211/dinosaurs/images/6/63/Suchomimus1C.jpg[/img]
Here we meet the 6th entry on the list, the mighty Suchomimus. Being a 36ft long (11m) and 3t heavy bipedal dinosaur, Suchomimus was a great fisher. Personally, I find it very cool and unique, being a pretty large theropod. Why is it underrated? The answer's simple: it is shadowed by its larger cousin, Spinosaurus.
5. Tyrannotitan
[img]http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs7/i/2005/265/1/9/Tyrannotitan_by_unlobogris.jpg[/img]
This is the fearsome Tyrannotitan, a 37-40ft long (11.5-12.2m), 5.5-6.5 t heavy carcharodontosaurid. With such a big size, it is underrated anyway by most people.
4. Tarascosaurus

This is the 4th most underrated dinosaur, Tarascosaurus. With 20-30ft lenght (6-9m), and 1-3 tons of weight, this is a true monster abelisaur. It has all it needs: a large head, small hands, and a very bulky trunk.
Furthermore, how could you don't know about a dinosaur, wich name means "Spanish Dragon"? How?
3. Ekrixinatosaurus

We're in the top 3 now, so pay attention! Lets meet Ekrixinatosaurus, a giant abelisaur, that lived in the same place and period with Giganotosaurus. It is 33-36ft long (10-11m) and has 4-5 t in weight, this is a really underrated badass dinosaur.
2. Yangchuanosaurus
[img]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/303/8/e/yangchuanosaurus_shangyouensis_by_cheungchungtat-d31t520.jpg[/img]
Let's meet the second underrated dinosaur, the Yangchuanosaurus. Being almost as big as an Allosaurus, it is very unknown by most of the people. With 36feet of lenght (11m) and 2.5-4 t in weight, thi is truly an underrated dinosaur!
1. Ceratosaurus

Finally, the most underrated dinosaur ever, the Ceratosaurus! This dinosaur is impressive: with 16-26ft long (5-8m), it's not the size that amazes, but its teeth. In fact, Ceratosaurus has among the biggest teeth-body size ratio of all dinosaurs. For not talking about its others features, like large skull, and long, primitive hands.
So, if it's so impressive, why it is so underrated? The answers, again, is simple. It is shadowed by the larger and better known Allosaurus.
So, this is my top ten.
What do you think about it? Any thouhgts? Suggestions? Make sure to let me know below.
