Whether or not any ceratopsian species was fluffy, the type of feathers seen in the plumage of most extant birds is limited to paraves clade (troodons, dromaeosaurs aka. raptors, birds). Other "feathers" were more like down feathers or the kind of feathers cassowary has.

And anyhow, while it's not inconceivable that some ceratopsians were fluffy (like in the picture of pachyrhinosaurus in the first post) since dinofuzz/"feathers" seems to be a trait present in Ornithischia and the coverage and length of filaments seems to be a trait that changes readily (think of closely related mammal species like elephants to mammoths or humans to other great apes), there's very extensive skin impressions from many ceratopsian species like Triceratops (pic related, Triceratops had a very characteristic type of scales).

Why the hell would you want to?
Jaxson White
Because that's accurate for many species, because they look nice

Its actually possible that proto-feathers/fibers were a trait present in the archosaur common ancestor and that some of the more active 'dinosaurian' crocodilomorphs may have also had some kind of fluff body covering like we see in dinosaurs and pterosaurs.

scaled dinosaurs are best dinosaurs. no one wants floofy dinos.
Joshua Torres
Oh that's lovely. That user is giving that dinosaur's tail a massage. How cute!

Ceratopsians didn't have feathers. Only the theropods did.
OP's picture is silly.

thanks dawg i was aboot to be a niggardly ned and post the same thing

Nigger we're talking about dinosaurs not fucking flowers or whatever.

>It appears that feathers were an ancestral dinosaurian trait, though one that may have been selectively lost in some species.[136] Direct fossil evidence of feathers or feather-like structures has been discovered in a diverse array of species in many non-avian dinosaur groups, both among saurischians and ornithischians. Simple, branched, feather-like structures are known from heterodontosaurids, primitive neornithischians[137] and theropods,[138] and primitive ceratopsians.

Psittacosaurus, a basal ceratopsian, had quill-like filaments (the colours in this reconstruction are believed to be correct, by the way: theguardian.com
With extensive skin-impressions available for species like Triceratops, reconstructions with many of the species covered in fluff are obviously wrong and so are "modern" type of feathers as seen in OPs picture (doesn't rule out "feathers" at some parts of their body or some "feathers" growing from between scales) but the claim that ceratopsians didn't have feathers is wrong because at least one of them demonstrably did (in the same sense as porcupine quills are hair, it wasn't fluffy).
