"Multituberculata is an extinct group of primitive mammals that was extremely diverse during the Cretaceous, but slowly became extinct around 35 million years ago. The groundhog-sized multituberculate Meniscoesssus robustus (Robust Small-Crescent Tooth) is a frequent sight on the forest floor under cover of darkness, where it can be found nibbling on plant matter."

Meniscoessus was a genus of extinct mammaliamorph from the Cretaceous Period of North America. It lived toward the end of the "age of the dinosaurs" and was a member of the extinct order Multituberculata. It will appear in Saurian.[1]
Information[]
It was a small mammaliamorph. As an endotherm, it needed to eat on a regular basis to produce the energy needed to regulate its body. It was a omnivore, mostly eating plant material but occasionally fed on small animals, like insects or even lizards and dinosaur eggs. Being a small animal in a time of large dinosaurs, it was prey for theropods like young Tyrannosaurus, young Dakotaraptor, Acheroraptor, Anzu, and Pectinodon, reptiles like Borealosuchus, and Palaeosaniwa, and the pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus.
In Saurian[]
Meniscoessus is expected to appear in Saurian as an AI. It is portrayed looking very similar to the carnivorous marsupial, the quoll (despite not being that related), having a dark brown pelt and a sparse scattering of white spots along with a bright pink nose.
