"You don't want to be left alive by this Dinosaur" - Tellltale Games

Troodon was a small Theropod dinosaur that lived in the Late Cretaceous period. And was one of the most intelligent dinosaurs. Troodon could reach a length of 2.4 metres (7.9 ft) and weight 50 kilograms (110 lb). Despite the similarities (which includes a retractable sickle-claw) Troodon isn't related with raptors.

The Lost World novel
Troodon has never appeared in any films or novels. However, it was mentioned in The Lost World novel. Troodon was only mentioned in the novel, when Dr. Richard Levine was talking to Dr. Marty Guittierezz, about a colleague of his named John Roxton, whom had discovered what he believed to be a Velociraptor skeleton, in Mongolia. However, it was really a Troodon skeleton.

Jurassic Park: The Game
The Troodon is an all-new dinosaur in the Telltale's Jurassic Park: The Game. It was originally the unnamed nocturnal dinosaur in the game, but has since been revealed. This marks the first appearance of the Troodon in Jurassic Park. It poisons with its bite and causes hallucination in it's victims, slowly making the victim suffer. It is known that a pack of them attacks Nima.

Trivia

 * For unknown reasons, Telltale gave them glowing eyes.
 * Though never once mentioned in the tour, it can be assumed that the reason for the night-vision goggles was so people could see the Troodon at night, because they apparently were nocturnal hunters.
