A Stegosaurus, or Stegosaur, is a species of dinosaur from the late Jurassic period. They existed between 150-155 million years ago. Stegosaurs have been characterized as four-legged quadrupeds that were herbivores. They had large bony plates that ran laterally down the exterior base of their spine. Like all dinosaurs, the Stegosaurus has long been extinct.
Popular fiction however, will occasionally showcase situations wherein dinosaurs from the Jurassic era are still alive, or through the wizardry of science, have been recreated. The most notable of which is the Jurassic Park film series. In the second film in the franchise, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, the character of Sarah Hardy is a paleontologist who travels to the island of Isla Sorna where she observes a pack of Stegosaurs in the wild.
In the Transformers animated TV projects and related toy lines, there is a Cybertronian autobot named Snarl, who is a member of the Dinobots. He transforms from bipedal mode into a robotic Stegosaurus form.
