Ilokelesia

Enter: Huinculoplodontopelta rex (armoured toothed shield king of the Huincul formation)

The lighting is quite honestly extremely dogshit since you can bearly see the dinosaur made and you can bearly even see the name. Anyway, here's the description of Huinculoplodontopelta rex.

Huinculoplodontopelta rex is a species of very large Panoplosaurini Nodosaur that lived in the Early Cretaceous Period in the Huincul Formation in 93.9 to 89.6 million years ago. It would have been preyed upon by the Carcharodontosaurids Mapusaurus and Meraxes gigas, the Megaraptoran Aoniraptor, and juvenile Huinculoplodontopeltas would have been preyed upon by the Abelisaurids Skorpiovenator and Ilokelsia. But they weren't entirely defenseless since they had boney osteoderms and 6 forward-facing spikes protecting the back of the Panoplosaurine, 2 forward-facing spikes on the sides of the Nodosaur, osteoderms on the front legs (kinda like how Saichania is depicted), and some osteoderms on the back legs. It was the largest Nodosaur being larger than Peloroplites where Huinculoplodontopelta was 5 to 9 tonnes. Scientists were flabergasted on how it could get this large but scientists theorize that when the Late Jurassic ended, Nodosaurs were able to somehow get larger as time went by but after the Early Cretaceous Nodosaurs got smaller as time went by when the larger relatives of the Nodosaurs, Ankylosaurids, got larger and more powerful than Nodosaurs but there were some flaws, like the fact that Nodosaurs first appeared in the Late Jurassic Period so they couldn't know how Nodosaurs would have gotten much larger at such a short notice. Huinculoplodontopelta also had an interesting history as it was of course discovered in the Huincul Formation in 2000 where it would be given the name Huinculoplodontopelta rex later on in 2003. After it was discovered and named in 2000 to 2003, it was immediately sent off to an auction where it would sadly be sold to one of the auctioneers but surprisingly, the one who bought the Huinculoplodontopelta would sell the very complete Nodosaur to paleontologists where it would be put in a museum for further study and would be put on display in the museum. Average adults would have been around 5 to 9 tonnes but the largest adult ever discovered, CT 42-1182, nicknamed "Rocky", (the one Huinculoplodontopelta specimen in said auction) was able to hit more than 9 tonnes, being around 9 to 12 tonnes in weight making it one of the largest Nodosaurs ever known which gave Rocky another nickname, "the giant of Huincul". A true giant indeed.
