Nasutoceratops
Long, curved horns and an enormous snout make it hard to confuse with another ceratopsid.
Long, curved horns and an enormous snout make it hard to confuse with another ceratopsid. Its horns curved above the eyes, while the frill was relatively simple compared with those of some relatives. Beneath them was the sturdy, four-legged body of a plant eater.
Three stages. One companion.

Beyond the game
The real Nasutoceratops
Its fossils were found in Utah’s Kaiparowits Formation. The region has yielded several ceratopsids; comparing their heads reveals a diversity we miss if we simply call them all Triceratops.
The horns of different species are not decorative variations invented for the game: their shapes are documented by fossils. Establishing every function they served in life is more difficult.
