Dorothy used to write about "The Star Beast." The Lummox may qualify as
distinctly dinosaur in demeanor.

Didn't Lummox have four legs and two arms ?  Not quite a dinosaur.  And
her family put her on a severe diet.

My recently concluded research to answer your question indicates Lummox
has eight legs and looks like a triceratops.

    Lummox remained reared up, watching the dog but making
    no move. He did add to his earlier remark a truthful
    statement about the dog's ancestry and an untruthful
    one about his habits; they helped to keep the mastiff
    berserk. But on the dog's seventh round trip he cut
    fairly close to where Lummox's first pair of legs would
    have been had Lummox had all eight feet on the ground...

    The impression is something like a rhinoceros, something
    like a triceratops, though the articulation is unlike
    anything native to this planet. "Lummox" his young master
    calls him and the name fits.

"Essence of Rex" is by a local sculptor in my town. Apparently female
rex were considerably larger than males:
