Dominychus longicaudatus (fake Theropod)

Description

Fake Theropod drawn for some sort of fun.

This giant Alvarezsaur "lived" in the Nemegt formation, where other Theropod were pretty enormous as well, compared to their cousins on other continents. We have gigantic Oviraptorosaurs and Ornithomimosaurs. So, why should not there be a giant Alwarezsaur.

Also felt pretty funny idea that the tallest and longest Theropod is the member of a group which mostly contains some of the smallest ones. I think this creature could be some sort of omnivore, just like it's smaller cousins (which were mostly feeding on ants and termites, but like modern ant eating mammals, they could eat something else). Basically, the body itself is not too big. The whole animal is pretty slender and mostly a tail and neck. Obviously not as agile as it's smaller relatives, but could be as "agile" as a Gigantoraptor or something.

Just an idea, but I was thinking that a domesticated, artificially evolved theropod could look like this. 
A tall, slender and graceful animal covered by soft and colorful hair-like feathers. Or maybe pure white or black. Any color, they would be something so rare, expensive and impressive, that they would be used as ceremonial beasts in primitive cultures just like elephants and giraffes were.
