Stygimoloch

About Stygimoloch
Discovered in Hell Creek, Montana, and resembling a demon, this dinosaur was named Stygimoloch in 1983. The name Stygimoloch means Styx Demon. The River Styx separated the Earth from Hades in Greek Mythology.
To date, two skulls have been discovered, both showing an abundance of long horns, and studs all over the animals head.
Without any direct fossil evidence about its body, Stygimoloch is generally reconstructed based on close relatives such as stegoceras.
Stygimoloch was a member of the Pachycephalosauria, or bonehead group of dinosaurs. This name refers to the very thick skulls that may have been used by these animals in head bunting competitions, or to ram predators.
