| - The Stegosaurus was replaced by Ferrucutus in the remake. The group were looking for Ann and the giant Ferrucutus appeared and begins to kill a lot of people and it was gunned down as it collapsed and its tail was moving although encountering this creature was a deleted scene. Another Ferrucutus was at the watering hole.
- Ferrucutus is a descendant of the Ceratopsidae family, which includes creatures such as the famous Triceratops. Ferrucutus are herbivores, grazing in small herds across the lowlands and in the waterways of the island. Their horns, coupled with the creature's aggression, cause many predators, apart from the mighty Vastatosaurus rex, to think twice before attacking adult Ferrucutus.
- Among the most impressive herbivores on Skull Island are the mighty Ferrucutus. Heavily built grazers/browsers with massive shoulders and enormous frills of bone and spike, these powerful animals are dangerous prey for the island’s carnivores. Full dominance fights can be bloody, with injury not uncommon and death not unheard of. Even superficially wounded bulls can die of nasty infections later. Skull Island dung beetles will follow herbivores like these and eat their scat.

| - Among the most impressive herbivores on Skull Island are the mighty Ferrucutus. Heavily built grazers/browsers with massive shoulders and enormous frills of bone and spike, these powerful animals are dangerous prey for the island’s carnivores. Despite their fearsome aspect and aggressive manner, Ferrucutus are exclusively herbivores, eating low shrubbery and using their nasal horns to uproot tall cycads to get to the fruit in the crown of the plants. Jungle cleared by Brontosaurus herds is quickly reduced to grassland by these shrub-browsing ceratopsids, their hard beaks making short work of the thorns and woody stems. Ferrucutus herds can number up to around 12 individuals. Herds claim and defend small territories where eggs are laid, giving them time to develop in safety. Young immediately join the herd upon hatching and gain the protection of the group from such attackers as Lycaesaurus and pugbats. When threatened by a predator, the herd instinctively closes around the young, presenting a ring of outward-facing horns and frills while the dominant male will then rush forward to challenge the intruder. Even the biggest and hungriest V. rex will think twice about tackling an enraged bull Ferrucutus. Certainly a threat to would-be predators like Venatosaurus, the head armament of a Ferrucutus is primarily used in dominance fights between adult males contesting lordship of their small herds of females and young. Intensely territorial and pugnacious, adult bulls can grow to almost half again as large as a cow. They collect small harems and guard them jealously. Fights between males are frequent. Young bulls congregate in bachelor herds, honing their sparring skills with playful bouts until they are large and strong enough to challenge for their own harems. Full dominance fights can be bloody, with injury not uncommon and death not unheard of. Even superficially wounded bulls can die of nasty infections later. Skull Island dung beetles will follow herbivores like these and eat their scat.
