1. According to legend, Achelous's horns were torn off in a battle with Hercules. Similarly, when one examines Achelousaurus skulls, they give the appearance of missing horns (Achelousaurus skulls have rough bosses where other Ceratopsian dinosaurs have horns).
   
   
2. Achelous was supposed gifted with a shape-shifting ability. Likewise, Achelosaurus has features which seem to combine and resemble those of other Ceratopsian dinosaurs.

Achelousaurus Facts

Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Achelousaurus: Achelousaurus was a genus of dinosaur. "Achelousaurus" means "Achelous's lizard" - Achelous is a reference to a diety of Greek mythology who had one of his horns torn off by Hercules (Achelousaurus's skull looks like it is missing horns), and who also could shape-shift (Achelousaurus seems to combine features of other Ceratopsian dinosaurs). Achelousaurus was a member of the Ornithischia ("bird-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Achelousaurus was not closely related to birds, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones. Achelousaurus was a Ceratopsian - a member of a group of related herbivorous (plant-eating) dinosaurs with beaks, many of which had neck frills and horns as well. Achelousaurus lived between about 83 million years ago and 74 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period. Achelousaurus lived in North America. Achelousaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater). Achelousaurus was about 20 feet (6 meters) long. Achelousaurus weighed about 6 tons.
