With an estimated length of 5 meters, Kentrosaurus was a rather small stegosaur. Like all representatives of this group, it was characterized by the double row of bony structures osteoderms that extended along the back and tail. On the neck and the front half of the back he carried six pairs of bone plates, which were relatively small and pointed. This was followed by eight pairs of large, pointed spines on the back of the back and tail. The rearmost pair of spines was attached almost horizontally. In addition, Kentrosaurus had two other long spines.
