Hoothooters! Can I get sum?

Pachycephalosaurus is not a predator.

Still think Rampardos is based off Pachycephalosaurus and not Stygimoloch, eh dumbass?

Dunno, which do you think they are, ass-hat?

Pachycephalosaurus, Stigymoloch, Dracorex the same animal at different developmental stages? Or separate lineages of the same Family/Tribe?

If you want to be an asshole on principle, be my guest Blade, but making yourself a dumb-ass is your own prerogative. The proportional structure of the dome-skull ratio has it resemble a Pachy more than Stigy. The only thing that makes it slightly resemble Stigymoloch is the bony protrusions at the back of the skull. Which Pachycephalosaurus HAS, just not to the exaggerated state that Stigy does.

Argue paleo-morphology with me Blade, and you're gonna lose.

...what he said.

It shares some physical resemblance to dinosaurs, most noticeably the Tyrannosaurus. Its penchant for shattering the countryside is similar to that of the Tarasque.

Rampardos is based on the family of dinosaurs known as Pachycephalosauridae, although the head ornamentation resembles that of the Stygimoloch or Dracorex because of its height.

When in doubt, resort to Bulbapedia.

You do know that Bulbapedia, just like Wikipedia, is sometimes unreliable. It's a freakin' Pachycephalosaurus.

You sound mad, Denny...

Denny...

You mad?

You sound sarcastic, Blade...

Blade...

You sarcastic?

Fixed that for ya.

Rampardos sprite = 78 pixels in height.

Rampardos height = 5'03".

Rampardos skull size (in height): 14 pixels

Rampardos's skull thus has to be stacked 5 and 4/7 times in order to make up its body height. That's 11 and 1/3 inches.

The true blue Pachycephalosaurus rarely had a skull exceeding 8 or 9 inches in thickness, even in large specimens. The upper limit was about 10 inches. So, like most every Pokemon, Rampardos is an exaggeration of an idea. In this case, the idea is the entire Pachycephalosauridae family.

But, in terms of appearance? Yep, it's a Stygimoloch.

F'xd yer typo.

Neither of you can get it right. Moving on.
