Donation to the museum[]
In Wild World[]
Upon completion of the pachycephalosaurus exhibit at the museum in Wild World, Blathers will give the player some information about the creature.
"Woooo HOO! Simply splendid! I'm awash in delight! I must tell you a smidgen about the pachycephalosaur! This unique creature was one of the last dinosaurs to roam the earth, wot? Though it is known primarily for its rounded head... It was basically all bone! There was hardly a brain to speak of inside! These brain-boggling dinos never cease to amaze me! Hoo, so intriguing! Ah. My my! Terribly sorry. I babble... You must wonder if I've a brain in MY head!"
In City Folk[]
After donating all of the pieces of the pachycephalosaurus to the museum in City Folk, Blathers will give the player information on the creature with the following dialogue.
"...Hoo my! At long last, the pachycephalosaurus is complete! Hootie woo! The wonder of it all! Pachycephalosaurus roamed the earth right up until the end of the dinosaurs, wot? Its characteristic round skull boasted bone that was almost a foot thick... Quite thick indeed! But its head wasn't especially big...so it had little room for any brain..."
In New Leaf[]
In New Leaf, a plaque by the display offers information about the fossil instead of Blathers.
"The pachycephalosaurus is known for its round, helmet-like head, the use of which is still debated. The bony dome atop its skull was nearly a foot thick, which is why mostly skull fossils survive. Some theories say the animals would smash their heads together to determine pecking order."
In New Horizons[]
Upon donation or selecting "Tell me more about this!", Blathers the curator will say:
"Pachycephalosaurus was, to be blunt, not the brightest star in the dinosaur firmament. What I mean is, with its incredibly thick skull—some 10 inches thick in spots—it didn't have much room for... well, for brains. Its brain was likely quite small, but at least it was extremely safe...in its...bony...prison."
The Pachycephalosaurus will be displayed along the back wall of the second fossil room, behind Triceratops.

Artist's rendition of Pachycephalosaurus.
Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis was a species of herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 70-66 million years ago. Its fossils have been found in modern-day Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota. It is best known for its thick, dome-shaped head, which may have been used during intra-species combat over resources and mates.
