One of the main protagonists in a storyline I've been working on (Nulworld. I'll figure a better name soon.) Nul is an alien raptorid species whose evolutionary ancestor is a troodontid, perhaps stenonychosauridae. I like the idea of them having a mish mash of other dino genetics too (like some Al'Kahlaran being dilophomorphic or ceratosauromorphic. Phenotyopes.)
Nul's storyline focuses on him being stuck on Earth after crash landing. Eventually he learns about his species' origins, and attempts to convince "the mothership" to not invade.
