 * Rules
 * This pokemon must in some way be based on a Stegosaurus, (or a dinosaur closely related to a Stegosaurus, such as a Miragaia or Kentrosaurus.)
 * At least the final form of the pokemon must somehow be themed around a classical fantasy or fairy tale villainous monster, (the first and second stage may have this theme as well, but this is up to you.) A dragon is the most obvious choice, but it can be some other monster as well, if you would like.
