The Stygimoloch (STIG-ih-MOE-lock) is a dinosaur which first appeared in a Jurassic World 2018 set.
Background
Stygimoloch is a putative genus of the pachycephalosaur family living in the early Cretaceous period. It was distinguished from other pachycephalosaurs by the row of spikes on the back of its head, behind the dome characteristic of the family. Jack Horner has presented evidence in 2009 (and others after him) that suggests that Stygimoloch might be the juvenile form of Pachycephalosaurus.
It is revealed that there are surviving Stygimoloch populations on Isla Nublar, although they will now face an impending danger, alongside many other creatures, in the form of an erupting volcano.
