Aviamimus

Aviamimus (pronounced Ay-vee-ho-my-muhs) was the thrid land evolution of Raptorton after Raptormimus. It was created in-game and published on 4th February 2009.

It evolved into Paromimus.

Naming
Aviamimus literally translates as Bird Mimic, although the creation does not really live up to this name, that was the hope when creating this.

Parts in Use
As an in-game creation, this was limited to parts that had been discovered.
 * Mouth: Grinnace
 * Senses: Stalkgazer
 * Limbs: Slackwrist (Arms), Phatella (Legs)
 * Extremeties: Torsionwrencher (Hands), Palmwalker (Feet)
 * Details: Featherbluster, Shellshard , Whipwhick

How it's Made
Before the discovery of advanced techniques, this is simply an edit of the Raptormimus. The feathers have not even been moved, but the "tail" has just had a Flagella replaced with a Whipwhick. As an in-game creation, the feet have remained unchanged due to not collecting an appropriate foot for evolving the creature further.

This is the first Raptor to feature Part Spamming - the three Shellshards on the tail is the first appearance of this technique. This also features the spinal thinning to give the appearance fo a genuine tail, although an unmodified Whipwhick is the actual tail.

Texture and Colour
This raptor features a pre-made scheme from the editor.

Size
At 30 - 50cm in height and 70 - 80cm in length, these creatures are relatively small. They can weight between 10 and 20kg.

Diet
Raptormimus is an omnivore, however, it sticks to eating fallen fruit and scavenging carcasses left by large carnivores.

Behaviour
Aviamimus live in large groups with breeding being somewhat of a lottery since the males may mate with many females. Their pack behaviour is something akin to lower primates, rather than birds or reptiles, in that they are sociable, however, they do move with the food as opposed to staying in one location and going looking for food.
