'''Dacentrurus was a highly defended dinosaur and so was able defend itself most of the time against predators like Allosaurus and Torvosaurus, it was orginally known as Omosaurus by the famous Paleontologist professor Richard Owen in 1875. It's huge Thagomizers which are the tail spikes would have been the trickiest to get through for predators were at least as long as a fully grown humans arm, but beside that it would have been a peaceful vegetarian possibly feeding with other plant-eating dinosaurs.'''

'''This huge dinosaur might have used its huge Thagomizers and plates to be used as not only a defence but, also have acted like a communication device between it's own species in close contact. Their plates may have been differently colored as a sign of aggression to other Dacentrurus or as an attraction to the opposite sex. It's legs were a little longer than some other stegosaurs which meant it had the option to either stand its ground or run away similar to what a african Buffalo would do when faced with lions.'''
