If valid*, despite being one of the largest known dromaeosaurs (raptors), Dakotaraptor retains the relatively agile build of smaller dromaeosaurs like Deinonychus rather than the stocky build of similarly sized dromaeosaurs like Utahraptor.
* Note: Dakotaraptor's taxonomic validity is currently uncertain and may represent a chimaera.
