A triceratops (ytepka in the Chultan language[1]) was a gargantuan, herbivorous, herd dinosaur,[4] also known as three horn by the inhabitants of the Malatran Plateau.[2]

Description[]

These massive dinosaurs had a bony plate on their six-foot-long skull for defense, with two long horns on the top and a shorter horn at the nose. Their bodies extended for about 25 feet (7.6 meters), and they weighed around ten tons (nine metric tons).[4]

Behavior[]

Triceratops had especially short tempers for herbivores, and would charge, trample, and skewer any creature invading their territory.[4] When defending their young, they were intelligent enough to form a circle around them, horns facing outwards.[7]

Combat[]

A triceratops could trample creatures smaller than it; it would gore anything else.[4]

Reputation[]

In Chult, where these dinosaurs were common, there was a secret society, the Triceratops Society, named after them, known for leaving iron triceratops figurines as signs of warning.[1]

Ecology[]

Habitats[]

Beyond the Prime Material plane, some could be found in the Forbidden Plateau.[9]
