a three-horned tank that grew its own face shield and dared T. rex to try it
means A large plant-eating dinosaur of the late Cretaceous, recognizable by its three horns and the broad bony frill that flared out behind its head.
from Stitched together from Greek: tri- 'three,' keras 'horn' (the same root behind 'rhinoceros' and 'keratin'), and ops 'face' or 'eye' — literally 'three-horned face.' The name was coined in the 1880s by paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh, who at first mistook an early specimen's horns for those of a giant extinct bison before the full skull revealed what he'd really found.
