What is your favorite dinosaur?
Many of us were dinosaur kids (I assume), but I know that our understanding of dinos has changed a lot from my childhood: more feathers, warm-blooded, and the brontosaurus survived its deletion attempt! Land Before Time, Dinotopia, We're Back! a Dinosaur's Story, Dinosaurs, and Jurassic Park have been supplemented by Jurassic World, Velocipastor, and many dinosaur "documentaries".
So Tildarianitearinis, what is your favorite dinosaur?
(For purposes of this question dinosaurs will be inclusive of prehistoric archosaurs without pedantry. Aka pterosaurs count. )

Stegosaurus. RIP Thag Simmons.
Maiasaura! We lived in Montana about the time they were discovered, and got to see Jack Horner himself talk about the good mother lizard. Little kidlet me was super excited about it, and my Mom, who also loved dinosaurs, thought it was great that proof of maternal behavior was being recognized. It's now the state dinosaur, too.

Pterodactyl, of course
Always had a soft spot for brontosaurus. Maybe it's because I'm a tall fella.
Oviraptor. I have an affinity for goofy looking things. I love corgis, I love weiner dogs, I just love unusual and silly things. Oviraptor is really silly, to me anyway.
Irritator! the best!
