I really, really do not think the Spino was a quadraped as they depict him there. Seems pretty silly with the kind of hands he had. The rest of the stuff seems okay or better.
As for a dragon... well... we could call him that ;)

As correctly shown in the picture, theropods can't rotate their wrists. So unless there's unique evidence that his arms were specially built to do that, it's not true.
