o·vi·rap·tor 
(ōvə-răp′tər)
(ōvə-răp′tər)n.
A small theropod dinosaur of the genus Oviraptor of the Cretaceous Period, characterized by slender limbs, grasping hands, and a short toothless beak. Some oviraptor fossils have been found with eggs, which they may have been brooding rather than eating, as was originally thought.
[New Latin Ōviraptor, genus name : Latin ōvum, egg; see OVUM + raptor, one who seizes; see RAPTOR.]
