Let’s look briefly at yesterday’s dinosaur, Troodon formosus which means “finely formed wounding tooth”. Troodon itself is only known from a handful teeth, though related species that were formerly attributed to the genus are more complete, notably Stenonychosaurus. Despite the genus only being known from a few teeth, the Troodontids have made appearances in both the Jurassic Park franchise and Ark: Survival Evolved were they are characterized as nocturnal and having a venomous/narcotic bite. If you want a weird look into dinosaur theory and speculation, look up the Dinosauroid (Dinosauroid - Wikipedia). (The two pictures that folow are of the holotype tooth and a screenshot from Jurassic World Evolution 2.)
