The Styracosaurus is a dinosaur that appears in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil and again in Turok: Evolution. It's a ceratopsid and is related to the Triceratops.

It makes its first appearance in Seeds of Evil as a rideable dinosaur in "Slaughter by the River of Souls" and appears in the Suspended City in Turok: Evolution.

Appearance

This dinosaur greatly resembles the Triceratops seen in "Into the Jungle" albeit with a few differences. For one, this dinosaur is bigger than the Triceratops, and it's also maroon in coloration.

This dinosaur also has one massive horn on its nose in comparison to the three horns of the Triceratops. The Sleg-added weaponry also adds two flags to its flanks.

Gameplay

This dinosaur is a terrifying beast. It can outpace the player and quickly destroy them with melee attacks, and it can also withstand an enormous amount of firepower before dying. It is more powerful than the Triceratops and is also more powerful than the feral Tyrannosaurus rex found in "Summit Battle."

It possesses a few attacks, the first being a frontal ram. If the blow connects, the player will have over half of their health drained and will be sent flying backwards a great distance. The second attack is a barrage of fire from the twin miniguns mounted on its back saddle. These can easily chew through the player's health, and they also fire when the dinosaur is charging, which can make for an instant game over for the player when coupled with the aforementioned ram.

Trivia

• Turok: Evolution: Prima's Official Strategy Guide erroneously spells this dinosaur's name as Steracosaur. The guide also states that the Styracosaurus was meant to have a non-armed variant outside of the boss encounter in "Arena".
