The ‘duck-billed’ dinosaurs had wide, flat beaks, and numerous small teeth. Their bodies were narrow and deep, and their tails straight and tapered, giving them a ‘teardrop’ outline. They usually walked on four legs, but could rise to a bipedal stance.
They seem to have lived in herds and engaged in extensive parental care. All date to the late Cretaceous.
Brachylophosaurini
This tribe inhabited the forests of Laramidia, now the west of North America. They ate a wide variety of vegetation including tough material like rotting wood. They were highly social, with herds of thousands of individuals of all ages.
The history of the genus shows a trend towards increasing size and development of a small horizontal crest across the upper skull. Acristavus had no crest, Probrachylophosaurus had a very modest one, and Brachylophosaurus had the most developed form, extending past the back of the skull. Maiasaura appears to have been an off-shoot and had small spikes above each eye. These crests may have been for display or used in pushing contests.

You push your opponent away using your head. Treat this as a head-butt which inflicts no injury, but doubles its damage for purposes of knockback.
Edmontosaurini
Edmontosaurus lived in northern Laramidia. E. regalis had a fleshy display crest on its head, while E. annectens was unadorned. Both had paddle-shaped bills.
Related genera from East Asia include Kamuysaurus, Kerberosaurus, Kundurosaurus, and the gigantic Shantungosaurus.

Hadrosaurus
Known only from a single partial skeleton, Hadrosaurus seems to have been a fairly ‘primitive’ hadrosaurine with a relatively robust build. It lived in Appalachia, now the eastern US.

Saurolophini
Saurolophus had a long bony spike projecting backwards from the top of its head and a spoon-shaped bill. S. osborni lived on the east coast of Laramidia, while S. angustirostris was found in East Asia. Augustynolophus looked very similar and lived on the west coast of Laramidia. Prosaurolophus also lived in Laramidia and had a small, flat crest instead of a spike.
