Pachycephalosaurid dinosaurs (sometimes colloquially referred to as a pachys), of which the famous Pachycephalosaurus is a member, are typically shown headbutting each other much like you would see in rams, goats and oxen. They've even been shown to headbutt other things with a devastating amount of force without sustaining any major injury. This was popularized by the story "A Gun for a Dinosaur", of the Rivers Of Time series by L. Sprague de Camp.
Pachycephalosaurs in fiction will be far more aggressive at the very least. They will often be shown charging at top speed into everything in sight, be it other members of their own species, bigger dinosaurs, or time machines with people inside. They're also likely to be depicted as aggressive and violent, in a departure from the usual depiction of plant-eating dinosaurs in fiction. Also, especially in older works, pachycephalosaurs will sometimes be shown as far larger than any real-life species, being on the same scale as hadrosaurs or ceratopsids, even though Pachycephalosaurus (the largest of the bunch) was no bigger than a horse, and most of its kin, like Stegoceras and Prenocephale, were dog-sized at best.
The head-butting behavior is debated in paleontology circles: some argue that the necks were too weak to support head-on collisions, or else that smoothly rounded domes would have been too likely to slide off of each other, and point to the spikes and sides of the head to say pachycephalosaurs swung their heads more like one does a hammer. On the other hand, others say the injuries found on pachycephalosaur skulls match head-on collisions similar to sheep and goats. Others still argue that some mixture of behaviors may have occurred, so that fights between pachycephalosaurs may have consisted of mixtures of head-to-head collisions, shoving matches, and strikes to the legs and flanks.
Naturally this is a subtrope of Artistic License – Paleontology, due to it being about the exaggerated portrayal of a prehistoric animal, and of Use Your Head. It's also a subtrope of Animal Stereotypes, in a rare case where the stereotype belongs to a long-extinct species. Compare Raptor Attack, Gentle Giant Sauropod, and Social Ornithopod for stereotypical depictions of other dinosaur species, and Temper-Ceratops and Tough Armored Dinosaur in particular for another cases of herbivorous dinosaurs being portrayed as aggressive and dangerous. It also doubles as a form of Beastly Bloodsports when they're ramming each other for territory or for a mate. Don't confuse with pachyderms headbutting; those would be an example of Rhino Rampage, Cruel Elephant, or Angry, Angry Hippos.

Heavily downplayed with the pachycephalosaurs in Prehistoric Park Reimagined when first introduced, as none of the adult pachycephalosaurus rescued in t-rex centric episode Return of the King are featured even charging at or ramming their heads against anything, let alone doing so against each other, but some of the juveniles are shown to playfully headbutt and ram each other in the safety of their new paddock at the park after their rescue. The texacephale rescued in D-Bags likewise choose to flee instead of fight back against a pack of newly discovered tyrannosaurs that try to hunt them. Ultimately played straight later, however, in Big Storm Episode Hell's Labyrinth when the entire pachycephalosaurus engage in this behavior against an invading escaped pack of Morrison Formation allosaurus.

The Magic School Bus: In the Time of the Dinosaurs mentions that pachycephalosaurids "may have butted heads like rams", which normally wouldn't be a problem since it's stated as a theory instead of fact, but then proceeds to illustrate two ramming each other head on in the background.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Cranidos and its evolution Rampardos are both based on pachycephalosaurs, and both are routinely shown performing headbutting attacks such as Headbutt, Take Down, Zen Headbutt and Skull Smash. Their Pokédex entries also focus almost entirely on their propensity for headbutting things, mentioning how their skulls were hard as iron and used for smashing inconveniently placed trees and taking down prey. Rampardos' entries claim it to have a foot-thick skull that shields it from any harm its headbutting may cause, although it also stifles the growth of its brain, and that a cloned specimen destroyed a skyscraper by headbutting it.

In The Lost World (1995) paleontologist Levine points out several pachys to the kids, noting their reinforced skulls presumably used to butt heads in dominance displays. Malcolm dryly notes "Yes, butting heads. Exactly as you see them doing right now," (the pachys are just milling about and grazing, utterly peaceful). Levine exasperatedly retorts that such thick skull reinforcement must have had some purpose. Later, Sarah Harding runs afoul of a herd of pachys, specifically comparing them modern animals like cows, American bison, and African buffalo, who are three distinctly different degrees of dangerous. The pachys turn out to have something of a Hair-Trigger Temper, and charge at anything they perceive as a threat. . . which, in this instance, includes Sarah Harding.

One of the many dinosaurs who appears in Tyranno's Claw is a pachy, who initially appears docile until a Dark Tribe caveman tries provoking it. The Pachy then reacts violently and even headbutts one of the tribesmen to death.

Prehistoric Planet: In the "Swamps" episode, male Pachycephalosaurs are depicted this way, crashing heads together to impress females. The end of the episode features a Prehistoric Planet: Uncovered" segment, which breaks from the usual mockumentary format to ask Was Pachycephalosaurus Really a Headbutter?, laying out the evidence for (the many lesions found on the skulls themselves) and against (the argument that the animal's bones were not strong enough to absorb the impact). The showrunners commissioned an experiment using CT scanning technology of the same kind that is used to test the structural integrity of airplanes parts, and concluded that the bones were indeed strong enough.

One episode of the 2005 anime made in the 2010s had Nobita getting chased by a Pachycephalosaurus which tries to smash him with its head. Amusingly, this is subverted when Doraemon comes to his rescue and accidentally head-butts the Pachycephalosaurus on its domed head, knocking it out.

Jurassic Park makes use of this alongside a wide variety of other stereotypical — and generally inaccurate — dinosaur traits. Justified In-Universe due to the dinosaurs having been created to have audience-pleasing traits such as increased strength and aggressiveness, and having been designed to align with what audiences wanted to see rather than with scientific accuracy.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park: The scene with the Pachycephalosaurus getting captured shows it ramming into the side of a jeep. This not only causes the jeep's door to be torn in half, but also sends the man inside flying out the other side. This shouldn't be possible since (hopefully) like most of the other vehicles used by Ludlow's Team, it was intentionally modified to help them against the dinosaurs.
Jurassic World: Not seen, but it is discussed that when Pachycephalosaurus butt heads they temporarily disable their implants, implying that their implants are in or around the pachys' heads, without harming themselves.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom: Downplayed, but still ultimately present with the Stygimoloch who manages to ram down a brick wall and a steel cage door. Although it did take the dinosaur a unspecified amount of time it is the only dinosaur to have broken out despite the fact that several dinosaur powerhouses (T. rex, Triceratops, ect.) were also kept in similar cages. The experience does leave its mark on the animal, as it seems fairly dizzy and disoriented for some time after this.

Dumbing of Age: After Sal gets into Dina and Amber's room by naming Pachycephalosaurus as her favourite dinosaur her and Dina end up talking about the trope in an attempt to break the ice. A Patreon-exclusive flashback strip has Sal hitting Walky with a flying headbutt and the dino's name as a battle cry.

E.V.O.: Search for Eden: Happen to appear occasionally in the third chapter "The Age of Dinosaurs", using the headbutt attacking method either against you or themselves. They player could attack them for some experience points or just leave them peacefully and fight each other instead.

Dinosaurs: Terrible Lizards features two Pachys (who look like purple hotdogs with legs) attempting to headbutt one another, completely missing each other, and continuing to charge blindly for several miles until one of them eventually falls off a cliff. This is one of the LESS weird things in the animation.

Temtem: Vulcrane vaguely resembles Pachycephalosaurus, with its armoured head, bipedal stance, and long tail. It's also described as fierce and learns the attack Head Ram.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom: Downplayed, but still ultimately present with the Stygimoloch who manages to ram down a brick wall and a steel cage door. Although it did take the dinosaur a unspecified amount of time it is the only dinosaur to have broken out despite the fact that several dinosaur powerhouses (T. rex, Triceratops, ect.) were also kept in similar cages. The experience does leave its mark on the animal, as it seems fairly dizzy and disoriented for some time after this.

Yu-Gi-Oh! has the similarly-named "Hyper Hammerhead", a Dinosaur-type monster resembling a Pachycephalosaurus with a head shaped like a literal hammer.

Dink, the Little Dinosaur: "The Reluctant Head-Banger" had Shyler befriending a Pachycephalosaurus named Nobbie who lacks confidence challenging his herd members in head-butting contests. At one point, Dink mentions "dome-heads" cannot feel a thing when they ram heads since her skulls are "really solid". Eventually, Nobbie gets over his fear when he saves the kids from a rockslide by smashing the rocks with his head.
