Chalyceratops seradorsus ("saw-back steel-horned face") or Chaly-tops is 10-16 feet (3,04-4,87 meter) long specie of ceratopsian dinosaur that is found on Skull Island. The animal is described in the book "The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island" (2005).
Chalyceratops is a tough, mountain-dwelling, almost Chasmosaurus-like ceratopsid from Skull Island. Grazing the borders of the jungle, where it gives way into scree and rock, the Chaly-tops, a hardheaded ceratopsian, eats subalpine vegetation but avoids the thick forest. Chaly-topses are rare, but the clash of their gladiatorial contests in the breeding season rang throughout the upland regions. Males will joust and butt violently to secure a harem of females. Their fights are among the most brutal of any ceratopsian species, with frequent fatalities and injuries. Most bulls bare extensive scarring and broken or damaged horn arrays.
