description: 'Pachycephalosauruses are normally peaceful herbivorous dinosaurs, but
  they grow much more violent during their mating season, when they fight one another
  to win over mates and warn away interlopers. They also defend themselves vehemently
  when potential predators stray too close to their herd. The pachycephalosaurus''s
  skull has a distinctive dome-shaped crown surrounded by numerous blunt, bony horns.
  This feature, combined with the dinosaur''s powerful, compact neck, allows it to
  make battering-ram-like charges capable of inflicting great damage.




  Some __humanoid__ groups have successfully trained pachycephalosauruses for use
  as mounts, but the creatures aren''t particularly well suited to the task.




  Pachycephalosauruses grow to a length of 15 feet and weigh 1,400 pounds.
