Aquilops (meaning "eagle face") is an extinct genus of small ceratopsian from the Early Cretaceous that live in what is now the USA. It was found in the Cloverly Formation, which is the home to many herbivores like Microvenator, Sauropelta, Sauroposeidon, Tenontosaurus, and Zephyrosaurus. Many predators that hunted it are the high-spined Acrocanthosaurus and a cousin to Velociraptor, Deinonychus. The holotype discovered is possibly not a fully grown individual and was believed to be a Zephyrosaurus.
Characteristics
Aquilops is first seen in Jurassic World: Rebirth. Being one of the smaller herbivores in the franchise, it very much resembles its close relative, Microceratus. However, Aquilops possesses a different colour scheme (allegedly being orange with black stripes), and also has a nasal horn. As there aren’t any other images, and this individual known as Dolores is potentially a juvenile, her size is possibly smaller than the Adults, it is unknown what other features adult Aquilops possess to differentiate them from their Mongolian relative.

Jurassic World: Rebirth
Aquilops has been confirmed to be appearing in Jurassic World: Rebirth thanks to a toy leak. It will be appearing in The Primal Protector, with an individual named Dolores. It is a pet to the shipwrecked family, showing that some dinosaurs have now become pets.
Theme Parks
Starting June 12, 2025, Dolores made special meet and greet appearances (as an animatronic puppet carried in a backpack by a trainer and professional handler) at Universal Studios Hollywood near Jurassic World: The Ride as part of Universal Mega Movie Summer.
LEGO
Aquilops has its own dedicated brick-built set named Baby Dinosaur Dolores: Aquilops. Along with this a smaller mini figured scaled version appears in the Raptor Off Road Escape set.
Behind the Scenes
In scrapped concept art for Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, a hybrid of Pachycephalosaurus, Ouranosaurus, and Aquilops appeared. It is unknown if Aquilops was meant to appear in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, as Ouranosaurus did in season 3.
