That's harsh. Have a slightly shorter horn, and scientists million years later decide to call you horridus.

Coulda been more too. We only got the fossils we HAVE FOUND to go from.

There are also dozens of closely related dinosaurs. Many of which also have three horns, It's a whole family of dinosaurs, the Ceratopsids.

That cute little dinosaur in Jurassic world rebirth was a Aquilops, another member of the family.

The picture is from reddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/Dinosaurs/comments/efzris/which_member_of_the_chasmosaurinae_family_is_your/

Chasmosaurinae is a subfamily of just the most closely related dinosaurs to the two Triceratops species.
