And today's DotW is... Zid and Zniw!
Both belong to mysterious species rarely seen in Polisemia. While Zniw doesn't think about it much, Zid was always curious about his mysterious origins...

Today's DotW is... Pentaceratops!
Translating to 'five-horned face', this ceratopsian featured three impressive horns on its head, and a pair of jugal bones... sometimes referred as 'jugal horns'!

Today's DotW is... Thescelosaurus!
This marvellous (no, really - it translates to 'marvellous lizard') fellow's long tail is stiffened by ossified tendons - it serves as a balancing organ for bipedal posture!

Today's DotW is... Nothronychus!
These large and powerful claws might look very intimidating, but don't be afraid - they're peaceful (for the most part) herbivores! Not to mention very fluffy too!

Continuing with the thick-skulled dinosaurs, today's DotW is... Pachycephalosaurus!
The dome on their head, which was only present on adults, could be up to 25cm thick! It was decorated with many spikes and knobs too!

Today's DotW is... Stegoceras!
Stegoceras skull features a distinctive thick dome - if you think it looks kinda familiar, you'd be correct! Stegoceras was actually a relative of Pachycephalosaurus!

Today's DotW is... Spinops!
This nose-horned friend is known from partial skull material that was described in 2011.
Turns out Spinops was a relative of such dinosaurs as Centrosaurus or Styracosaurus!

And today's DotW is... Troodon!
Based on a single tooth, these small and intelligent theropods used to be a valid genus... until 2017 when they were determined to be a nomen dubium!

Today's DotW is.. Lambeosaurus!
These loud hadrosaurids are one of the first dinosaurs you'll encounter during your adventure - one of their distinctive features is the hollow, hatchet-like crest, and a rigid tail!

Today's DotW is... Euoplocephalus!
Good ol' Euoplocephalus are well protected with their bony armour and a tail club. All the knobs and plates (called osteoderms) will make any predator think twice before attacking!

Today's DoTW is... Orodromeus!
Their name translates to 'mountain runner' - and appropriately, it's speculated these small and nimble herbivores lived in mountainous terrain burrows!

Today's DotW is.. Hesperonychus!
This little fellow is one of the smallest known carnivorous dinosaurs from North America! Being small in size, and not a huge threat, it has no problems living alongside herbivores.

And today's DotW is... Albertadromeus!
Due to their small size, these little herbivorous ornithopods are incredibly timid. You need to be very careful if you'd like to talk with one!

And today's DotW is... Agujaceratops!
Just look at those impressive brow horns - these strong, long-frilled ceratopsians are an invaluable help in storehouses, libraries or guard outposts all around!

Today's DotW is... Dromaeosaurus!
Their sharp teeth and sickle claws might intimidate most folks. Fortunately these theropods seem to be more interested in education rather than predatory life... at least here in Polisemia!

Let's start DotW on Bluesky with.. a Parasaurolophus 🦕
Their cranial crest is actually hollow inside, and works like a tube! It amplified their voice, allowing Parasaurolophus to do some impressive honks!
