SPIKY STYGIMOLOCH FACTS!
Quick facts about this tiny trooper: As far as dinosaurs go, he's a pretty small fella; measuring in only at a length of a car and weighing as much as a human.
A herbivore that lived off a diet of horsetails, gingkos, cycads, seed ferns and club mosses, the Stygimoloch never ate much, and only required 5-10kg of vegetation a day for survival.
Unlike other Pachycephalasaurs, the Stygimoloch had short conical hornlets on the nose, and large backwards-pointing spikes on its head.
The function of these spikes is unknown and may be mostly ornamental, but they might have also been used to attract mates.
The name 'Stygimoloch' translates from Greek to 'horned demon from the river Styx' - but based on all the information above, you know there isn't really much to fear with this lil chap.
In reality, the intimidating name is due to its bizarrely ornamented skull which evokes the Christian conception of the devil - all horns and scales, and with the slightest hint of an evil leer if you look at the fossil specimen just right.
