History

King Kong (1933)

The Venture crew encounter a Stegosaurus in King Kong (1933)

While the crew of the Venture pursued King Kong through the jungles of Skull Island, they came upon a foraging Stegosaurus, which charged at them when it noticed their presence. Before it could draw too close, Carl Denham incapacitated it with a gas bomb. The creature fell over from the impact of the explosion and writhed on the ground for a bit before Denham approached and shot the beast in the head.

Books

King Kong (1932 novelization)

While the crew of the Wanderer was searching the jungles of Skull Island in search of Ann Darrow and King Kong, they came across a Stegosaurus, which they knocked out with gas bombs before shooting twice through the heart out of fear before they move on, wary of what might wait in the jungle.

Kong Reborn

In the year 2009, a species of giant Stegosaurus lived on Skull Island. They came in contact often enough with the island's Giant Guar for it to become routine for herds to part at a watering hole to allow a Stegosaurus to drink before filling their chaotic ranks back in around it.
