Info: The largest of the dome-headed dinosaurs, or pachycephalosaurs, Pachycephalosaurus itself, as its generic and family name meaning "Thick-headed Lizard" applies, had a 9-inch thick, rounded dome skull that was thought by most scienstists to be used as a battering ram and its thought to have used for a head-to-head among the species, but stress and fragile upper roof discredited this theory in recent years however [Note: In 2012, Joseph Peterson and Christopher Vittore identified a Pachycephalosaurus skull that had been injured by a traumatic impact, had suffered an infection in the aftermath of the incident (OUCH!), and concluded that head-butting behavior was the most probable explanation for the damage] . Its thought by many scientists and experts that two other species of pachycephalosaurs that it lived alongside with, the dragon-like, flat-headed Dracorex (whose specific name hogwartsia honors the Hogwarts Academy of witchcraft and wizardry from the Harry Potter series) and the demonic, spikey-headed Stygimoloch [Named after the Styx River and the mythological demon, Moloch; made famous for having a lead, heroic role in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) ] were all juveniles of the same animal since the only specimens of them were not yet fully-grown and represents the growth stages of the species, but this is still in debate.
