Gremian

In the Squawk Role-Playing Game, Gremians are highly derived deinonychosaurs related to gafflings. They have completely lost most of the distinctive features of their close relatives: sickle claws, feathers and even the long tail. They have developed a relatively enormous head with a shortened snout and a more erect posture.

Some of these adaptations are examples of paedomorphosis, where adults of the species retain features from earlier stages of development. Superficially, gremians resemble avian hatchlings with their bare pinkish skin and huge heads.
