A Feathered Psittacosaurus?
Psittacosaurus* – when this set was being designed, Psittacosaurus as a member of the bird-hipped dinosaurs and related to the horned dinosaurs such as Styracosaurus and Triceratops was not thought to be feathered. Only fossils of lizard-hipped feathered dinosaurs had been found at the time. However, recent fossil discoveries have revealed that psittacosaurs may have been covered in bristle-like proto-feathers.
