Pinacosaurus is a desert-dwelling ankylosaur. Because of the tough lives they lead and the many predators that constantly threaten them, pinacosaurus are are very pugnacious animals, and no tribes have ever successfully domesticated them. Pinacosaurus is about 15-17 feet long and weighs up to 2 tons.
