“Now this dinosaur, the Dracorex, is something strange. Its name means the Dragon King of a fictional school for wizards. I think I could have come up with that myself. The name, not the dinosaur. For that we need the scientists.”
—Cabot Finch
Dracorex is an extinct genus of pachycephalosaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period. Its name means “dragon king”, and its type species is Dracorex hogswartia, named after the Harry Potter franchise’s Hogwarts Academy.
Much like Stygimoloch, Dracorex had large, protruding spikes on the back of its head, with two large horns of three behind the head. It had bumps and a long muzzle, with spikes on its nasal area. Dracorex, like Homalocephale and Goyocephale, had a flat dome, which led to the theory that it and Stygimoloch might be the growth stages of Pachycephalosaurus or, if Stygimoloch is valid, a female Stygimoloch.

My name is Stoyan, but in the dinosaur community, I’m often known as DinoDaddy. As the creator of JurassicDNA.com, I manage the world’s largest free DNA code database for the Jurassic World™ Play App.
This project began as a personal mission. Inspired by my son’s incredible passion for dinosaurs, I realized how difficult it was for parents and collectors to track down every code. I’ve since dedicated thousands of hours to curating, verifying, and updating this collection to ensure it remains the most complete and trusted resource for Mattel DNA Scan Codes globally.
When I am not documenting new species or updating the database, I’m usually on the floor playing with my son who remains my most demanding 'quality control' expert.
