Origin[]
The Stegosaurus is a living dinosaur species and one of the several prehistoric survivors of the mysterious Maple White Land plateau in South America. It is a huge beast, with a proportionally small fowl-like head, a rotund body, a tail equipped with upward-turned spikes, and a row of dorsal plates on its back.
This species of dinosaur was discovered in the plateau by an American explorer named Maple White, who illustrated the creature in his sketchbook. It was later observed by Edward Malone during the Challenger expedition, drinking water from the Central Lake.
