Edmontonia's back was covered with an array of small, flat keeled (ridged) plates. Its neck and shoulders were plastered with larger keeled plates, and spines protruded forward from its shoulders.

This short, squat dinosaur no doubt used the spines as protection against predators and may have also used them in courtship displays or to battle with other males for potential mates. Edmontonia was a smaller dinosaur, but I'd still be willing to ride him:
