- Oviraptor was a small Mongolian theropod dinosaur, first discovered by legendary paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews and first described by Henry Fairfield Osborn, in 1924. Its name is Latin for 'egg thief', referring to the fact that the first fossil specimen was discovered atop a pile of what were thought to be Protoceratops eggs. The specific name philoceratops means "lover of ceratopsians", also given as a result of this find. However, it is now believed that the eggs belonged to this genus itself and that the specimen was actually brooding its eggs, based on discoveries of a related animal called Citipati. Oviraptor forms the basis of a family called Oviraptoridae, named by Barsbold in 1976. Barsbold then used the name to coin a group called Oviraptorosauria.

- Recently, most of the "classic" Oviraptor fossil specimens have been reassigned to a second species of another genus, Citipati, due to their inconsistencies with the original Oviraptor holotype (specimen used to define species).
- Oviraptor is a species of theropod dinosaur that lived in the Late Cretaceous period 75 million years ago. It appeared as a minor predator in Disney's 2000 CG film Dinosaur and made a cameo in Fantasia.
- Oviraptor is a species of dinosaur collected as part of the Noah's Ark Plan. Its name means "Egg Robber". The Oviraptor lived around 70 million years ago. Their remains are found in Mongolia. It is also shown within the game that Oviraptor, like the Carnotaurus, might sport sexual dimorphism.
- Oviraptor is a Dinosaur from the Portal of Evil, thought extinct long ago in Titan.
- Oviraptor is unique in the fact that it is represented by two species of animal on FMM UV-32: O. philoceratops and R. mongoliensis. It is believed that Oviraptor is a dangerous omnivore, possessing a very powerful beak capable of crushing egg shells, shellfish, and the skulls of smaller animals. Much like modern birds, both sexes are known to be good parents, nurturing and protecting their eggs.

- The first specimen of Oviraptor was discovered by the American Museum of Natural History expedition to Asia in 1923. It was found in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. This is the same place Protoceratops was found. The specimen was an almost complete skull along with parts of the hands and neck vertebrae. It was found lying next to a nest of eggs that may have belonged to Protoceratops. Henry Fairfield Osborn thought the animal may have died while eating the eggs in the nest; perhaps it had been killed by an angry Protoceratops parent. This possible diet of eggs led Osborn to name the genus and species Oviraptor philoceratops, which means "egg plunderer, lover of ceratopsians. At first Oviraptor was thought to be a member of the Ornithomimidae but it's fingers were not the same length and they
- Image:Oviraptor Senckenberg.jpgOviraptor is a genus of small Mongolian theropod dinosaur, first discovered by the legendary paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews, and first described by Henry Fairfield Osborn, in 1924. Its name is Latin for 'egg seizer', referring to the fact that the first fossil specimen was discovered atop a pile of what were thought to be Protoceratops eggs, and the specific name philoceratops means "lover of ceratopsians", also given as a result of this find. In his 1924 paper, Osborn explained that the name was given due to the close proximity of the skull of Oviraptor to the nest (it was separated from the eggs by only four inches of sand). However, Osborn also suggested that the name Oviraptor "may entirely mislead us as to its feeding habits and belie its character."
- An old oviraptor also appears in Earth Attack! as one of the carnivores serving King Rokol. Real Oviraptor were small birdlike dinosaurs that lived in Cretaceous Mongolia and China, contemporaries of Velociraptor. Unlike King Albu, they do not seem to be egg thieves; it was given its name (literally meaning "egg thief") because its fossils were found beside what were thought to be Protoceratops (an early relative of Triceratops) nests. It was assumed that Oviraptor had been trying to eat the eggs when it died.
