 I doodled this after a fantastic Fossil Friday where we got to discussing theropod feathering, and it made me want to render a very speculative troodontid*, specifically the undescribed giant species found in Alaska and northern Canada. I just really wanted it to have fluffy snowy owl feet. I also would not be surprised if troodontids had facial discs like owls, because they have asymmetrical ears like owls, so it's reasonable to conclude that they may have employed facial discs to further focus their hearing. Their large eyes also suggest they were probably low-light hunters that likely made good use of sound.

I kinda think this guy turned out like a combination of a snowy owl and a wolf, which is epic.

*There is sometimes some confusion on how to pronounce "Troodon". When the species was originally described in 1856, it was named Troödon (with the diaresis) and is supposed to be pronounced "troh-oh-don". Twenty years later the name was amended to Troodon because the International Committee for Zoological Nomenclature does not allow diacritics in taxonomic names. But it should still be pronounced as if it contained the diaresis.
