Stegosaurus stenops was a large, plated herbivore with a small head, spiked tail, and a distinctive double row of back plates.
It lived during the Late Jurassic and is one of the most iconic dinosaurs due to its unique armor and posture.

Appearance

• Large, broad-bodied herbivore with a low stance
• Two rows of tall, alternating plates running along its back
• Powerful tail ending in four long spikes, known as the thagomizer
• Small head with a beak suited for cropping low vegetation
• In-game size: 14 blocks long and 7 blocks tall

Behavior

• Neutral: Will not attack unless provoked
• Retaliates when attacked, using its tail spikes to defend itself
• Prefers peaceful grazing but becomes highly defensive when threatened
• Often found in small groups, reflecting possible herd behavior

Mr. DNA's Fun Trivia

• Stegosaurus tail spikes are called a "Thagomizer", a term that came from a joke on a comic strip that was later adopted by Paleontologists!
• Stegosaurus was heavily protected by it's plates and tail spikes, fitting for an animal that lived with vicious predators such as Ceratosaurus, Torvosaurus and Allosaurus!
• Stegosaurus was the largest Stegosaurian to ever exist, and lived with some of it's relatives, such as Hesperosaurus and Dacentrurus!

Trivia

• The achievement "That's how it always starts.." is a reference to Ian Malcolm's quote from The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997): "Ooh, aah, that's how it always starts. But then later there's running and screaming"
• The term "thagomizer" for Stegosaurus's tail spikes comes from a 1982 The Far Side comic by Gary Larson and was later adopted by paleontologists
• Despite its iconic appearance, Stegosaurus had one of the smallest brain-to-body ratios of any dinosaur
