Quetzalcoatlus (whose name derives from the Aztec feathered serpent god, Quetzalcoatl, in the Nahuatl language), is an extinct genus of azhdarchid pterosaur that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous period. The best known species is 'Q. northropi', appointed by Douglas Lawson in 1975; the genus also includes a second minor species 'Q. lawsoni', known for many years as an unnamed species before being named by Brian Andres and Wann Langston Jr. (posthumously) in 2021.

One of the most inaccuracies in this pterosaur, because it is an edit of Ornithocheirus. The real one had no teeth, a longer neck, had pycnofibres, it walked more upright on the ground, had a large flat crest, and a longer, thicker beak.

Quetzalcoatlus is depicted as being as a scavenger, engaging in behavior that reflects the behavior of vultures. In reality, the animal would have been a terrestrial hunter. It is also naked and lacks the pycnofibers that the real animal would have had.

At 10–12 m (33-39 ft) wingspan, and standing over 5.4 m (18 ft) tall and 4 m (13 ft) long, the Ingen Quetzalcoatlus is larger then their real life conterparts.
History[]
During a flashback of the cretaceous, four Quetzalcoatlus landed near a group of Pteranodons while one of them was scavenging the carcass of an unknown animal. Another one was seen passing through a Giganotosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex fighting.
Fast forward to the year 2022, an adult Quetzalcoatlus attacked Owen, Claire and Kayla on the plane, before managing to escape them and flies away. The specimen is larger than in real life.
Design[]
The InGen Quetzalcoatlus feathered skin is white, it's crest is blue, and pale winged skin.
