Info: Discovered in 1981 in the Wucaiwan member of the Junggar Basin in the Shishugou Formation in Xijiang, China, Monolophosaurus  was a medium-sized tetanurae theropod dinosaur that stalked the area during the Mid Jurassic period. Meaning "Single-crested Lizard," Monolophosaurus had a rounded crest over its head that would've been brightly colored and used to attract members of the opposite sex as well intimidate rival males.

Note: Based on . While the coloration is based on those of the original done by dinoraul, I decided to make the head more colorful and bird-like with display structures, since the crest was probably used for display and I based it on the Temmincks tragopan and bird of paradise. Its a male.
