Meet Aspidonotus clavocaudus, a fictional species of stegosaurid from my fantasy setting of Panjuru. Commonly addressed as “shield-backs” in reference to the alternating rows of plates on their backs, these massive gregarious herbivores are more commonly seen in Panjuru’s savanna regions, grazing on grass, ferns, and other low-level plant life. Both their thagomizers (tail spikes) and shoulder-spikes protect them from the numerous predators, saurian and human alike, on the hot and open plains.
