Chapter 8: Stegodevil
( Roofed Devil ). The most famous herbivores of the Jurassic period, the stegosaurus survived extinction and flourished on the still developing Croodaceous skull island. Now these giant Stegosaurs have grown twice the size of the original species and have even more spikes than their ancestors, and have gone a convergent evolutionary path mimicking the likeness of the Australian Thorny devil lizard, even having something similar to their pseudo head. With all of these spikes they are very few that actually prey on them. Which means that their populations can develop longer and faster without much worry. However their rivalry with their Jurassic predators, the Allosaurs and the Ceratosaurs are still around and deadlier than ever. Which means that the stegosaurs would have to be even deadlier when protecting their herds. Granted their still fair game to the larger, more heavily armored carnivores, but it wouldn't be as easy to take down as the carnivore would think. Behavioral wise these dinosaurs are very docile, living in the mountain plains of the island in herds up to 30-40 members, and mspemd most of they day grazing, but will Surround and bludgeon another creature to death if they are perceived as a threat to their herd especially if something gets to close to their young.
