I just heard about this, and I really wanted to share.
This is one of the possible looks of Zuul, from the link below for the Royal Ontario Museum. I'm not entirely certain about you, but I think that this guy could easily take out my shin...and most of the rest of me, if he so chose.
Zuul is a species of Ankylosaur that got discovered in Montana in about 2017. Originally, it was just named Zuul, but they found out that not only is it a different species, but it's a new genus in the Ankylosaur family, so the genus name is Zuul now, and it has the scientific species name of crurivastator, which is Latin for Destroyer of Shins. That name might have come from the damage to the leg bone of a t-rex that was dug up at the same site, under the assumption that Zuul might have destroyed the leg of the Rex.
These dinos are about 20 feet long and weighed more than 2 tons, with a wide and flat body covered in armor. This specific species has four horns on it's skull and a lot of ornamentation on it's snout that is part of what proved this to be new.
Zuul is also important because it's the most complete skeleton of an ankylosaur found-- or at least was at the time, being that it was the first with head and tail. It also was somehow mummified, so there is more preserved than there usually is, so we got to see more of it.
Zuul got named that for the Ghostbuster's character, the demon-dog that possessed that woman, because there was a similarity. It was meant to be the name of the skeleton itself for a bit, but became the genus name. We welcome the nerdiness now.
I hope you had as much fun with that as I did. There's more information below if you want it, including an official research paper about Zuul that you can go to for more pictures of the skeleton as it was, or other articles that will tell you the less technical side of things. Have fun either way, and I'll see you again soon.
