While early depictions of stegosaurids saw these plates as being for either defence or thermoregulation, modern analysis has found the plates to not really be suitable for either of these purposes. The plates themselves are too weak and brittle to protect against a powerful bite, and not adapted enough for an efficient thermoregulation purpose. This leaves the explanation of inter species display where stegosaurids could recognise others of their kind by the shape and arrangement of the plates which differed between individual genera and species. Because it lacked the tall spines for muscle attachment found on the vertebrae of Stegosaurus, it was probably unable to rear up on its hind legs like that animal. This suggests that it would have eaten low-lying, ground vegetation.

- Foolscap first summoned him to battle the D-Team in his Spectral Armor form alongside Gavro's Pentaceratops. He fought with Paris and Ace. When Gavro and Foolscap were attacked by the Japanese soldiers, he used Quake Saber against them. He used Quake Saber again against Paris, but she used Green Impulse, summoning Tupuxuara to defeat him. His card was reclaimed by Zoe.

- Physically similar to the North American Stegosaurus, Tuojiangosaurus is the best understood of the Chinese stegosaurids.[1] It was around 7 metres (23 ft) long and 2 metres (6.6 ft) high, with a postulated weight of around 4 tonnes (4.4 short tons). Because it lacked the tall spines for muscle attachment found on the vertebrae of Stegosaurus, it was probably unable to rear up on its hind legs like that animal. This suggests that it would have eaten low-lying, ground vegetation.

- Physically similar to the North American Stegosaurus, Tuojiangosaurus is the best understood of the Chinese stegosaurids.[1] It was around 7 metres (23 ft) long and 2 metres (6.6 ft) high, with a postulated weight of around 4 tonnes (4.4 short tons). Like Kentrosaurus, Tuojiangosaurus had two rows of pointed plates along the spine, which became taller over the hip region. It also had two outward-pointing spikes on each side of the end of the tail, angled at approximately 45 degrees to the vertical. In stegosaurids, this spike arrangement has become affectionately known as the "thagomizer". It also had the typical narrow head, bulky body, and low teeth of other stegosaurids.[1] Because it lacked the tall spines for muscle attachment found on the vertebrae of Stegosaurus, it was probably unable to rear up on its hind legs like that animal. This suggests that it would have eaten low-lying, ground vegetation.
