Although popularly thought of as a small stegosaur (the TCG says it's 4 meters/13 feet long), Dacentrurus was actually quite a large animal (in reality twice that length). Not all reconstructions of Dacentrurus portray it as having shoulder spikes, and some older ones place them on its hips, instead.
