Triceratops

Creature 8 — animal, dinosaur

Triceratopses are muscular quadrupeds with powerful short legs, thick necks, and heads crowned by a wide, bony frill. Though they bear three large horns, they use these bony protrusions only to defend themselves or fight for dominance. Short-tempered and obstinate, triceratopses are unlikely to back down from a fight unless they are hopelessly outmatched, and the creatures are known to fight to the death for no apparent reason beyond stubbornness. Triceratopses often serve as mounts for humanoid
