Edmontonia was a member of the ankylosaur group and lived alongside creatures like Edmontosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, and Gorgosaurus.
Facts[]
Edmontonia - a still from WWD:3D film (Image by Vaderxl).
This dinosaur was a nodosaur, like the Polacanthus from WWD series (1999), but at 7 meters in length it was much larger. It also lived much later than the Polacanthus did, but just like its earlier cousins, Edmontonia had a broad back covered in armor and a wicked array of huge spikes sticking outwards, forwards and slightly downwards from the shoulders (see the picture).
Edmontonia also had a long tail and a long and narrow snout to better graze on the low-growing vegetation that it ate.

Trivia[]
- In WWD: 3-D companion book Edmontonia is incorrectly named Ankylosaurus.
- The reason why it is only called "Ankylosaur" in WWD3D related media was to avoid confusion with the similarly named Edmontosaurus.
