The ankylosaurus is a huge squat dinosaur covered in thick bony plates and spikes. They live alone, in pairs, or in herds of up to a dozen creatures.

They are herbivores but tend to stand their ground when threatened and ill tempered with any trespassers. In combat, an ankylosaurus uses the bony end of its powerful tail as a club. If it flees, smaller creatures in their path are likely to be trampled. The bony and spiked hide of a ankylosaurus gives it a small number of natural predator as it discourages larger creatures from biting it.

A typical specimen is 30 feet long, 10 feet wide and weighs 6,000 pounds (3 tons).
