Dromaeosaurids (also known as raptor Dinosaurs) were a family of small to medium feathered dinosaurs which first appeared in the middle Jurassic and reached their peak in the Cretaceous period. The first Dromaeosaurids were smaller and more birdlike than the later ones.
Originally exposed to the world as the big vicious lizard things that the Jurassic Park franchise came up with, actual Dromaeosaurids looked nothing like this hideous baseless interpretation, and were actually a diverse family of awesome bird-like carnivores.
And much like how felids are not just one thing but a varied group of animals that differ greatly in size and fill a wide variety of predatory niches, also Dromaeosaurids are divided into a diverse array of subfamilies. Examples of dromaeosaur subfamilies include the four-winged microraptorians, the duck-like halszkaraptorines, the velociraptorines which proably occupied the same niche as foxes, the stocky and possibly pack hunting dromaeosaurines, the long-snouted unenlagiines, and more.
This goes to show that dromaeosaurids were not movie monsters, murderous dragon things, or awkward transitionary species with crocodile heads and unkempt tarred feathers draped over their painfully skinny bodies but a diverse family of very bird like carnivores that were just as graceful as modern animals and don't deserve our fear and stereotyping.
These are my favourite animals so I've made a pack which adds three species of them as cats, ocelots and zoglins. And since this pack doesn't completely replace these three mobs with Dromaeosaurids, you'll need to name these mobs with name tags in order to turn them into the Dromaeosaurids I added.
This pack requires Optifine to work!!!

Examples of how dromaeosaurs might have looked like
And here is a command which gives dromaeosaur spawn eggs:

Update #6 : by DiberTheCheetah 06/19/2023 2:08:50 pmJun 19th, 2023
This update is dedicated the the Velociraptors
— Changed the texture of the velociraptor's wings
— Made it so the velociraptors have thinner, more birdlike feet
— Changed the texture of the baby Velociraptors
— Made it so tamed Velociraptors have leg bands instead of collars
AND MOST SIGNIFICANT
— Finally, after a billion years, I have managed to fix the sitting velociraptor model and re-add cat collars.

Edit: Unless my pack became outdated (I haven't checked).
And given that dromaeosaurs in real life also have relatively high skulls, should I make my dromaeosaurs' heads more narrow?
