What is a Dracorex?
Dracorex, whose full name is Dracorex hogwartsia, was a strange and spiky dinosaur that lived around 66 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. Its name means “dragon king of Hogwarts,” inspired by its dragon-like skull and a nod to the magical school from the Harry Potter books. Although it looked fierce with its domed head, horns, and bumps, Dracorex was actually a plant-eater and likely peaceful in nature.
It was a member of the pachycephalosaur family, known for their thick, bony skulls. Dracorex may have used its head for display or gentle head-butting contests with others. It was about 3 meters (10 feet) long and probably weighed around 90 kilograms (200 pounds). Its skin was likely tough and scaly, and while we don’t know what sounds it made, it might have made low grunts or snorts. Fossils have been found in North America, and its dragon-like look makes it a favorite for kids who love mixing dinosaurs with a bit of fantasy.
