About
This mod introduces a diverse collection of powerful ceratopsians to Vintage Story! From the famous Triceratops to its lesser-known relatives, these prehistoric herbivores bring new challenges and opportunities for those who encounter them.
Though they are primarily herbivores, ceratopsians are far from passive. Many are territorial and will fiercely defend themselves, their herd, and their young. They may tolerate a cautious observer or will charge without hesitation. Study their behavior carefully—mistaking a peaceful grazer for an aggressive defender could be costly!

Domestication
Spoiler!
To hatch eggs, you simply place it down on the ground, they will hatch after sometimes. Important that the area is lit and also big enough for the baby dino to hatch into, it it is too small they will not hatch until there is more space.
Similarly growing will take and require enough space for them grow into their adult form.
Feeding adults,they are herbivorous, you use a large trough or throw the food on the ground, they require 70 portions.
Friendlier(still might attack on occasion) after 3 generation, you can lead them by the rope after 4 geneations, peaceful after 10 geneations
Riding
Spoiler!
You craft a saddle and bridle specific to their family, this would allow you ride them.
Hitching Station
Spoiler!
If have dinosaur mount that you want to stay put, you can craft a hitching station,
Simply place it down near your mount and it will stay close to it,
If the dinosaur is not domesticated or still too wild, it may knock down the hitching station
