Cretaceous herbivore. Unlike most other ceratopsians it does not seem to have lived in herds.

Ceratopsians are quadrupedal beasts with horns and bony head armour. They fill the rhinoceros’ ecological niche. Ceratopsians are bad-tempered and prone to charge, making them among the most dangerous of the dinosaur herbivorous species. They were extremely common during the late cretaceous period. The best known and most common of these creatures, triceratops, was probably about twice as heavy as an elephant. Ceratopsians have two AC scores: one for their armoured heads, the other for their bodies.
