description: 'Triceratopses are muscular quadrupeds with powerful but short legs,
  thick necks, and heads crowned by a wide, bony frill. Though they bear a large horn
  on their snout and one on each brow, these dinosaurs are herbivores and use these
  bony protrusions only to defend themselves from attackers or in dramatic clashes
  against other triceratopses for grazing territory or mates. 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 lizardfolk, orcs, and
  giants, who ride comfortably behind the dinosaurs'' protective bone frills. A triceratops
  is 30 feet long and weighs as much as 10 tons.




  Triceratopses are surely the most well-known of the dinosaurs known as ceratopids,
  but many others exist. For example, the smaller styracosauruses have only one horn
  but several horn-like protrusions on their frills.
