The description of Dinosauria states "chordates with features intermediate between reptiles and birds", although it's rather used for creatures that resemble dinosaurs. If the Ovoraptor fails to meet both requirements, then it's not a dinosaur, and it has already failed the second one. If it's not a dinosaur, it's not a oviraptorid. It would be reclassified either as a psittacid (resembles a parrot) or a falconid (hook claw points towards a predatory nature; plus, it's carnivorous ingame). It is very relevant.
