Multituberculates have traditionally been depicted as herbivores[?]. This is too simplistic, and they’re increasingly referred to as herbivores and omnivores. Certainly in the case of Kryptobaatar, if I’d been a small Mesozoic lizard, I’d have kept a healthy distance between us, just in case.
For the technically minded, this family is part of the suborder of Cimolodonta.
