Oviraptor got its name, "egg thief," because a fossil specimen was found with an Oviraptor buried over a clutch of eggs that were believed to belong to Protoceratops. Ironically, the eggs were its eggs, so it got the name "egg thief" because it was found fossilized protecting its own eggs!

How an ovirapptor moves?
Oviraptor, probably the most unjustly named of the dinosaurs (The name means "egg thief" because the first known fossils were thought to be raiding the nests of Protoceratops, but later discoveries showed that the dinosaurs were protecting the OWN eggs. They really should change the name to "Ovigregor.") probably walked or ran after the manner of the large ratites (ostriches and emus).
