- The stygimoloch are small dinosaurs who are related to the stegoceras. They live in an unknown planet in the Vegetarian Sector and are friendly to the DSS, many working as astrosaurs. Some of them work as cleaners on the DSS Sauropod. Real Stygimoloch were pachycephalosaurs from the United States, unique for the spikes on their domelike heads. They were about 6 metres in length, and lived 65 million years ago, at the very end of the Cretaceous period and the extinction of the dinosaurs. Some scientists believe that this dinosaur is a juvenile form of a related species, Pachycephalosaurus, but others think it is different enough to have its own species. The name Stygimoloch means "horned demon of the Styx (a river in the underworld in Greek myth)".

In addition, he presented data that indicates that both Stygimoloch and Dracorex may be juvenile forms of Pachycephalosaurus. Horner and M.B. Goodwin published their findings in 2009, showing that the spike/node and skull dome bones of all three 'species' exhibit extreme plasticity, and that both Dracorex and Stygimoloch are known only from juvenile specimens while Pachycephalosaurus is known only from adult specimens.[7] These observations, in addition to the fact that all three forms lived in the same time and place, lead them to conclude that Dracorex and Stygimoloch were simply juvenile Pachycephalosaurus, which lost spikes and grew domes as they aged.[8] A 2010 study by Nick Longrich and colleagues also supported the hypothesis that all flat-skulled pachycephalosaurs were juveniles, suggesting that flat-skulled forms like Goyocephale and Homalocephale represent juveniles of dome-skulled adults.
