Scutosaurus
"Scutosaurus" was a massively built reptile, up to in length, with bony armor, and a number of spikes decorating its skull. Despite its relatively small size, "Scutosaurus" was heavy, and its short legs meant that it could not move at speed for long periods of time, which made it vulnerable to attack by large predators. To defend itself "Scutosaurus" had a thick skeleton covered with powerful muscles, especially in the neck region. Underneath the skin were rows of hard, bony plates (scutes) that acted like a form of brigandine armor.
