Bony plates, spikes and shields of skin: these plant-eating dinosaurs defended themselves rather than running away. They walked on four legs with a low and heavy body. Some carried a bony club at the end of the tail. Their lineage lasted through the Jurassic and the Cretaceous until the great extinction.

Covered in heavy bony plates, this slow herbivore had no tail club. Its 25 cm skull suggests it was no more than 3 m long.
