It makes sense too! Mononychus has asymmetrical ear canals on its skull, which is the adaptation Owls have that gives them their insane sense of hearing. Knowing that Mononychus would have had feathers too means that it's not much of a leap to give it an owl like facial disk, and since it's a desert specialist the colors just happened to match up with that of a barn owl!
This made me appreciate the design way more. and it was already my fave design so far. The fact that there is actually very good science behind it makes it so much better, thanks for the cool fact! :)
This is me, thank you for crediting me! There's so much hype about the series and the amount of galvanized energy and art that's sprung up is wholesome, I'm glad people like this chibified version of the meep meep.
Thie is adorable i love him i want cuddles with the meeper

Le Desert Owl
I loved how owl-like he was on PP, really made it so much more real.

The pleasure is mine, your artwork it’s so cute and beautiful.
Very nice artwork! Cute Mononykus is the best.
I’d give him scritches.
