This creature resembles nothing so much as a reptilian rhinoceros, although no rhinoceros had a massive bony frill on the back of its head or a horn quite so long or sharp.
The monoclonius is a species of ceratopsian, the most famous of which is the triceratops.
Most monoclonius are around 15 feet long and very strong, but the species are inoffensive and herbivorous. Most monoclonius live in family units with an alpha male and multiple females, as well as the alpha’s various offspring. Unlike triceratops, they are not particularly territorial or aggressive.
Combat
If they or their offspring are threatened, a herd of monoclonius will charge the offending predator, impaling it on their powerful horns. They usually retreat if a fight goes badly, but a mother monoclonius will defend her child to the death.
Powerful Charge (Ex): When a monoclonius charges, its gore attack deals 4d6+14 points of damage.
Trample (Ex): A monoclonius can literally run over any creatures in its way that are of Medium or smaller size. Creatures trampled must make a Reflex save (DC 21 half) or take 2d6+10 damage. The save DC is Strength based.
Hm. I hate giving base creatures Improved Natural Attack, but I did to model the triceratops in the MM. I could easily see dropping it in exchange for another feat, but keeping the gore damage the same.

This massive creature has a bony frill with long spikes growing from it, and a long horn growing from its beaked snout.
The styracosaurus is a ceratopsian whose decorative frill has become a defensive weapon.
A styracosaurus is about 20 feet long and, like most ceratopsians, very aggressive. They will charge at any unfamiliar creature in their territory and are relentless in their assaults. They live in small herds and feed on bushes and tubers.
Combat
A styracosaurus initiates combat by charging its opponent, and uses its spiked frill to deter opponents from fighting back.
Powerful Charge (Ex): On a charge attack, a styracosaur’s gore attack deals 4d6+16 points of damage.
Reflexive Attack (Ex): Once per round, a styracosaurus may make an immediate melee attack with its frill against any creature that strikes it in melee. Attack bonus +8, 1d8+8 damage.
Trample (Ex): A styracosaurus can literally run over any creatures in its way that are of Large or smaller size. Creatures trampled must make a Reflex save (DC 23 half) or take 2d8+12 damage. The save DC is Strength based.
