Draconyx is another Styracosternan, from the Lourinhã Formation in Portugal. This formation was very similar to that of the Tendaguru and Morrisson from the Late Jurassic and as such, Draconyx probably filled a similar niche as Camptosaurus did in the Morrison Formation. It lived in the Tithonian age of the Late Jurassic, about 152 to 145 million years ago. It is known from a partial skeleton which lacked the skull. It was a small, facultatively bipedal horerbivore, about 3.5 meters long.
