Description: Stigymoloch is a genus of pachycephalosaurid dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, around 66 million years ago. It was a small, bipedal dinosaur that was characterized by its thick skull roof, which was likely used for head-butting behavior. Stigymoloch was first discovered in the United States and has also been found in Canada. It is known from a number of well-preserved specimens, including skulls and partial skeletons, which have allowed scientists to learn more about its anatomy and behavior. Stigymoloch was a herbivore and likely used its strong jaw muscles and beak-like mouth to crush and grind tough plant material.
