Technically speaking, "Eucentrosaurus" is an invalid name that was given to a ceratopsid when its original name ("Centrosaurus") was thought to be preoccupied by another animal. As it was not, this renaming was unnecessary, and Eucentrosaurus is officially the same as Centrosaurus.

Trivia[]
- Dr. Taylor's arcade comments:
- Japanese: 鼻の上の角は長く、ゆるやかに前に曲がっている。大きなむれで生活していたらしい。
- English: The horn on its nose was long and slightly curved forward. It lives in big herds.
- Taiwanese: 鼻上的角很長,微微朝前方彎曲,據說是過著群居的生活。
- DS Game Encyclopedia entry: Its nasal horn is long and curves forward gently. It lives in large herds.
- Along with Styracosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Torosaurus, Triceratops, Chasmosaurus, Einiosaurus, Arrhinoceratops, and Brachyceratops, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese and Taiwanese non-sale Lightning Egg card.
- Other than the name, there are no statistical differences between the Eucentrosaurus and Thundering Eucentrosaurus TCG cards. As the TCG limits a player to 3 copies of any given card, using both of these dinosaurs would allow a player to include up to 6 dinosaurs with this set of statistics (Lightning, Paper, 1300 Power, etc.) in their deck if they wanted to.
