Diablosaurus

== Overview ==
Diablosaurus is a large Ceratosaurian dinosaur from the Dracian period. It is well-known for the big bull-like horns on it's head and fork in the tail bones. It was accidentally discovered by and named after Don Diablo in El Rancho, Huitca and officially described by Pablito Elquagero. The genus has 2 species: the more common Diablosaurus daemonium and the larger Diablosaurus gehennaensis.
== Etymology ==
The genus name Diablosaurus means "Diablo's Lizard", translated from Jagdasian or "Diablo's Beast" translated from Bradecblightic.
The species Diablosaurus daemonium means "Diablo's Lizard Demon", due to the horns and tail, features belonging to demons in fiends in some cultures. The species name Diablosaurus gehennaensis means "Diablo's Lizard from Hell".
== Biology ==
=== General ===
Diablosaurus was one of the largest known Dracian carnivores. The horns are believed to have served as either protection for adolescents, to attract mates, to defend their territory against other Diablosaurs, or all 3. It is currently unknown why the tail forks at the end, but it is believed to be a random genetic mutation. Diablosaurs were carnivores, likely feeding on medium-sized herbivores and recently dead animals.
=== Individual Species ===
Diablosaurus daemonium was the smaller of the two species, Growing up to 15.5 feet tall and 36 feet long, while the only D. gehennaensis specimen was 19 feet tall and 56 feet long. Due to the massive size difference, it was classified as it's own species. There is some debate on the validity of it being a new species as there is only one specimen and the only major difference between species is size and length.
