Their nasal passages run through this and allow them to create great trumpeting noises to warn others of danger or to attract mates.
A Parasaurolophus will usually try to escape, but if combat is imminent, it will smack attackers with its tail, putting every bit of its weight behind these awesome Blows.

If the Hadrosaur moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and hits that creature with a Ram attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength check or be knocked prone. If the target is knocked prone, the Hadrosaur may make one Stomp attack against it as a bonus action.
ACTIONS
- Ram. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) bludgeoning damage.
- Stomp. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one prone creature. Hit: 17 (3d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage.
ABOUT
A generally placid and peaceful grazer of grass and ferns, the Hadrosaur is a danger only in large numbers. Shy, these creatures prefer to avoid trouble. However, each herd keeps several of its number on lookout. When danger threatens, the herd bunches together, placing young and pregnant females in the center. If the threat attacks, the herd attempts to move away en masse, but this direction is always away from the first threat and might lead to them trampling other hunters or running into a more dangerous situation.
