Ankylosaurus was an armored, herbivorous dinosaur.
Traits[]
A large, squat dinosaur, Ankylosaurus had thick armor covering almost all over its body, and a bone-crushing tail club. The Ankylosaurus also sported a number of spikes along its back, along with a set of curved horns on either side of its head. This was to protect it from any if the dinos that may try to attack.
History[]
One Ankylosaurus made itself known to a herd of animals led by a mammoth named Manny, who were exploring the Dinosaur World in search of one of their herd: a ground sloth named Sid. The Ankylosaurus rushed in to attack them (probably to defend its territory) with its club tail and chased them off, though his chase went challenged by one of the herd, a Saber-Tooth Tiger named Diego.
Further on, the Ankylosaurus went into hiding so as to avoid confrontations with the albino Baryonyx named Rudy, causing Diego to deride his cowardice as a "wuss" before turning away.

Trivia[]
- As with other species of dinosaur shown in the Ice Age films, Ankylosaurus' size was exaggerated as being larger than a mammoth.
- Despite being a herbivore in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, it was shown with pointed teeth, In real life however it didn’t have sharp teeth and it had a beak rather than a dragon-like mouth. It’s club was shown to look like a mace but the real Ankylosaurus’s club didn’t have a mace-like texture. It was speculated, however, that it attacked main heroes merely because it felt threatened (or because it wanted to defend its territory).
- Various roars of the Ankylosaurus were reused for the dragons in How To Train Your Dragon 2 and 3, a dinosaur in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and the Deviants in Eternals, for example.
