Baturoceratops (SciiFii)

Baturoceratops seradorsus, also known as the brave knight, is a species of chasmosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the highland forests and open woodlands of North America to help boost biodiversity. Baturoceratops seradorsus is a tough, mountain-dwelling animal and is among the largest of the ceratopsians, growing to be almost twice the size of the Triceratops and weigh about 10 tons, which explains why its legs are thicker and more elephant-like in build in order to support its larger weight. Baturoceratops seradorsus is purely herbivorous, feeding mainly on fruits, leaves, conifer needles, ferns, horsetails, and mushrooms, but can also feed on grasses to supplement its diet. Although it is solitary in most of its life and is a rare ceratopsian, clashes of their gladiatorial contests in the breeding seasons can ring throughout the upland regions they live in. Males joust and head-butt violently to secure a temporary harem of females. Their fights are among the most brutal of any ceratopsian species, with frequent fatalities and injuries. Most bull males bare extensive scars and broken or damaged horn arrays. The conservation status of Baturoceratops seradorsus is Vulnerable due to slight habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to conservationists, Baturoceratops seradorsus is a protected species.
