### Location

England

***Hylaeosaurus*** is a herbivorous ankylosaurian dinosaur that lived about 136 million years ago, in the late Valanginian stage of the early Cretaceous period of England.

*Hylaeosaurus* was one of the first dinosaurs to be discovered, in 1832 by Gideon Mantell. In 1842 it was one of the three dinosaurs Richard Owen based the Dinosauria on. Four species were named in the genus, but only the type species *Hylaeosaurus armatus* is today considered valid. Only limited remains have been found of *Hylaeosaurus* and much of its anatomy is unknown. It might have been a basal nodosaurid, although a recent cladistic analysis recovers it as a basal ankylosaurid.

*Hylaeosaurus* was about 12.26 metres long. It was an armoured dinosaur. It carried at least three long spines on its shoulder.

## History

### Fight with Titanoceratops

Note: This contains spoilers

The battle begins with both the Titanoceratops and the Hylaeosaurus wandering into the savannah and bellowing at each other. The Titanoceratops charges toward the Hylaeosaurus, but the nodosaurid stands its ground. As the Titanoceratops is about to hit it, the Hylaeosaurus jumps out of the way, dodging the attack. The Hylaeosaurus whipes its spiky tail at the ceratopsian, but the Titanoceratops blocks the attack with its crest and the nodosaur gets knocked out of the way. When the Hylaeosaurus stops spinning and comes to a halt, the Titanoceratops goes in for an overhead strike.

However, the Hylaeosaurus dodges the attack a bit causing it to have two scars inflicted on the side of it's neck. When the Titanoceratops tries another charge attack, the Hylaeosaurus tries out a new attack. The Hylaeosaurus jumps into the air and curls into a ball, hitting its target and leaving a few scars on the Titanoceratops's side. Both the ceratopsian and the nodosaurid glare at each other and roar, sprinting at each other.

The Hylaeosaurus tries the same tactic as before. However, this time, the Titanoceratops was prepared and used its frill and forward-bending horns to block the attack. The Titanoceratops then flings the Hylaeosaurus into the the air.The Hylaeosaurus successfully lands the fall and tries a new attack. When the Titanoceratops is about in for an attack, the Hylaeosaurus curls into a ball again, but also jumps into the air and spins, leaving a bunch of scars on the Titanoceratops's other side. The Titanoceratops roars out in pain and looks at the Hylaeosaurus, who is about to do the same attack. The Titanoceratops roars at the nodosaurid and runs straight at it. They both leap at each other and do the same attack causing them to drill through each others sides and land on the ground. The Titanoceratops collapses on the ground, seemingly defeated. The Hylaeosaurus stands for a little bit but blood gushes out of its scars making it fall down.

The Titanoceratops struggles to get up with the amount of scars it has but it manages to do so. Seeing the downed Hylaeosaurus struggling to get up a perfect oppurtunity to end the fight, the Titanoceratops charges forward. Because of its wounds, the Hylaeosaurus can't get up fast enough to avoid the Titanoceratops ramming its horns into the Hylaeosaurus's underbelly and being flung into the air, laying on its back lifelessly. The Titanoceratops roars out in victory, panting heavily and having a bunch of scars around its body.
