The skull shows elements of tyrannosaurids (boxy shape) but with a keratinous covering. This gives it three large horns. One above the nose, one above each eye. This feels most like a Ceratosaurus or Allosaurus in elements.
Given it has three clawed hands, then its not likely to be a tyrannosaurid, as all large boxy headed ones only had two claws.
That leaves either Allosauroidea or Ceratosauria.
Given Ceratosaurus is known for its horns, then I will put it in that family tree.

So I've decided where I am going to classify this as.
I will nest it into the Ceratosauridae family, alongside Ceratosaurus itself, but this would be its own later, more derived version.
As for a name, I would go with something like, Jiaoruanlong kamiyaii
Meaning, in Chinese, "keratin dragon", with specific name being a reference to the Digimon anime, and the first character to have a Greymon, #Taichi#Kamiya
What do we think of this classification. What should we classify next?
