MemberCompsognathusNovember 11, 2013So, everyone knows Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Velociraptor, Spinosaurus, etc. Don't get me wrong, they all have cool names. But which of the poorly known dinosaurs had the coolest names? Let's find out.
10. Brontomerus- Thunder Thigh
Ok, so I chose this one more because I thought it was kind of funny. But funny can be cool.

9. Tarascosaurus- Spanish Dragon
Ok, don't tell me that a name that means Spanish Dragon isn't cool.

8. Titanoceratops- Titan Horned Head
Just about any name with titan in it will sound cool.

7. Dracorex- Dragon King
When your name means the dragon king, you certainly deserve a spot on this list.

6. Stygimoloch- Demon from the River of Hell
Wow, pachycephalosaurs have cool names!

5. Tyrannotitan- Tyrant Titan
Tyrannotitan certainly lives up to it's name. At 40 ft long and 5+ tons, it was both a tyrant and a titan.

4. Ekrixinatosaurus- Explosion Born Lizard
Sure, it's hard to pronounce, but it has a cool translation.

3. Teratophoneus- Monstrous Murderer
Ok, so it's "only" 20 ft long, but I still don't want to run into this monstrous murderer.

2. Sauroposeidon- Earthquake God Lizard
The earthquake god lizard! Now that's awesome.

1. Lythronax- The Gore King of the South
It's full name, Lythronax argestes, has got to be one of the coolest dinosaur names that anyone has ever come up with.
