He chased a herd of cows, probably thinking that he was the same kind of creature before encountering [[Chomp]] and helping to determine there was a thorn in Chomp's paw. After that he befriended the [[D-Team]], even surfing with Chomp on a giant display surfboard. When the [[Alpha Gang]] showed up, he tried fighting them but was overpowered by [[Terry]] and [[Spiny]]. [[Paris]] tried to heal him with [[Nature's Blessing]], but Terry prevented that, Styracosaurus finally collapsing from exhaustion after Terry and Spiny's attacks ([[Tail Smash]] and [[Neck Crusher]]) knocked Chomp into him. Chomp tried to save him, but [[Ursula]] snatched his card, allowing the Alpha Gang to escape with him. Lightning Spear later washed ashore again and was claimed by the D-Team.

He reappeared under [[Ursula]]'s control in that same episode alongside Terry, surprising [[Max]] and Chomp when he attacked, defeating Chomp with his horn and also hitting [[Ace]] to help Terry defeat him. He was recalled along with Terry [[Escape from Zeta Point|after the cliffhanger]] by [[Ed]] and later faced the D-Team again but was defeated after a brief fight with [[Ceratosaurus]] and picked up by Chomp, allowing Max to reclaim his card. |

+ | Another Styracosaurus was later seen in [[Dinosaur King episode 27|Carnival of Chaos]] as part of the Alpha Gang's dinosaur amusement park; like the others, lack of being fed made its [[Alpha Controller#Alpha Control Chip|control device]] malfunction and let it wander freely. It charged [[Mrs. Taylor]] and the D-Team, but [[Dr. Taylor]] knocked its control device off with his whip, the exhausted dinosaur return to its card, making the D-Team realize that simply removing the devices would defeat the dinosaurs. Its card was quickly retrieved by an [[Alpha Droid]] and was never seen again. |

Anime
Dinosaur King
In Maui Owie!, Styracosaurus' card was in a Card Capsule in Hawaii alongside the Lightning Spear card, but after it was uncovered, its Move card was taken away by the tide, after which a lightning bolt activated his dinosaur card. He chased a herd of cows, probably thinking that he was the same kind of creature before encountering Chomp and helping to determine there was a thorn in Chomp's paw. After that he befriended the D-Team, even surfing with Chomp on a giant display surfboard. When the Alpha Gang showed up, he tried fighting them but was overpowered by Terry and Spiny. Paris tried to heal him with Nature's Blessing, but Terry prevented that, Styracosaurus finally collapsing from exhaustion after Terry and Spiny's attacks (Tail Smash and Neck Crusher) knocked Chomp into him. Chomp tried to save him, but Ursula snatched his card, allowing the Alpha Gang to escape with him. Lightning Spear later washed ashore again and was claimed by the D-Team. Later that episode, Dr. Z put him under the Alpha Controller to give him a more aggressive personality.
In Alpha's Zeta Point, Dr. Z put him under the Alpha Controller again to allow the Alpha Gang to summon and control him without the Lightning Stone. He reappeared under Ursula's control in that same episode alongside Terry, surprising Max and Chomp when he attacked, defeating Chomp with his horn and also hitting Ace to help Terry defeat him. He was recalled along with Terry after the cliffhanger by Ed and later faced the D-Team again but was defeated after a brief fight with Ceratosaurus and picked up by Chomp, allowing Max to reclaim his card.
Another Styracosaurus was later seen in Carnival of Chaos as part of the Alpha Gang's dinosaur amusement park; like the others, lack of being fed made its control device malfunction and let it wander freely. It charged Mrs. Taylor and the D-Team, but Dr. Taylor knocked its control device off with his whip, the exhausted dinosaur return to its card, making the D-Team realize that simply removing the devices would defeat the dinosaurs. Its card was quickly retrieved by an Alpha Droid and was never seen again.
A herd of Styracosaurus were briefly seen in Max's dream at the beginning of Metal Imbalance.
A Styracosaurus was among the many dinosaurs that appeared in the present day in Dinosaur War! when the Backlander's time circuits malfunctioned from trying to use Seth's Copied Stones, but it returned to the Mesozoic when the time circuits failed after the Black T-Rex's defeat.
Mesozoic Meltdown
A recolored wild Styracosaurus helped Chomp fight Terry in Alien Parent Trap, it and a wild Pachycephalosaurus slamming into him and knocking him away.
Personality
Styracosaurus was originally one of the gentlest and friendliest dinosaurs in the anime. Like most Lightning Dinosaurs from series 1, he made friends with Chomp and was very protective of him. However, his gentleness meant that he was not a strong fighter and was easily defeated by Terry and Spiny before he could defend himself.
Later, however, after Dr. Z put his card through the Alpha Controller, his personality changed and he became aggressive and violent like Tank. He was particularly aggressive against Chomp and seemed to have no memory of their previous friendship. It is unknown whether he stayed that way after the D-Team saved him.
Trivia
- Dr. Taylor's arcade comments:
- Japanese: えりかざりに大きな6本の角を持っている。鼻先の角も長くするどい。草食恐竜だ。
- English: A herbivore with six large horns on its neck frill. It also has a long, sharp horn on its nose.
- Taiwanese: 在領飾部分有6隻角,鼻尖的角也是又長又銳利,是草食恐龍。
- In the arcade, it shared the same roar with Gorgosaurus and the Secret-attribute Cryolophosaurus.
- It was the first Gold rarity Lightning Dinosaur card in the arcade.
- Along with Pachyrhinosaurus, Torosaurus, Triceratops, Chasmosaurus, Eucentrosaurus, Einiosaurus, Arrhinoceratops, and Brachyceratops, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese and Taiwanese non-sale Lightning Egg card.
- Along with Stegosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Maiasaura, Albertosaurus, and Brachyceratops, it one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese non-sale North American Egg II card.
- Styracosaurus was not available in the last few arcade versions, and it was the only one of the group of first Gold rarity arcade dinosaurs that didn't get a Super Form, as its status was replaced by the "Orange Triceratops" resembling Chomp (Super Triceratops's base form).
- Styracosaurus was the first dinosaur in the anime to directly defeat Chomp (his previous battles with Terry and Saltasaurus had only weakened Chomp, causing him to collapse from exhaustion after defeating them).
