*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

---

## Obtaining
Stegosaurus does not spawn naturally. To obtain one, you must:
1. Find ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/v1/extinct/stegosaurus/stegosaurus_fossil_remains) [**Stegosaurus Remains**]($content/items/fossil) or fossils
2. Use the fossil revival process to create a Stegosaurus
3. Hatch from an **Ostrich Egg** type egg

---

## Diet
- **Herbivore**: feeds primarily on <img src="https://i.imgur.com/INKBvsq.gif" width={32} height={32} style={{imageRendering: "pixelated"}}/> [**Leaves**](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Leaves)
- Grazes on low-lying plants and shrubs

---

## Drops
When defeated, Stegosaurus may drop:
- ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/v1/extinct/stegosaurus/stegosaurus_fossil_remains) [**Stegosaurus Remains**]($content/items/fossil)
- ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/v1/extinct/stegosaurus/stegosaurus_raw) [**Stegosaurus Raw Meat**]($content/items/meats)

## <img width={64} src="https://i.imgur.com/DTOgOBL.png" alt="Mr.DNA"/> 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
