Stegosaurus (meaning "roof lizard" or "covered lizard") is a genus of armored stegosaurid dinosaur. A large, heavily built, herbivorous quadruped, Stegosaurus had a distinctive and unusual posture, with a heavily rounded back, short forelimbs, head held low to the ground and a stiffened tail held high in the air. Its array of plates and spikes has been the subject of much speculation. The spikes were most likely used for defense, while the plates have also been proposed as a defensive mechanism, as well as having a display and thermoregulatory functions. Stegosaurus had a relatively low brain-to-body mass ratio. It had a short neck and small head, meaning it most likely ate low-lying bushes and shrubs. Some of these theories were confirmed when the living stegosaurus were observed on Arkamata. Stegosaurus is a force of herbivorous fury, being a defensive tank that impales attackers on its 4 thagomizers. |
