Dictionary definitions are usually incomplete sentences. The one you posted is something like "rigor: a state of rigidity assumed by some animals in reaction to sudden shock". You could make this a proper sentence by replacing the colon with a verb, adding quotation marks, and adding a period ("full stop" in British English) at the end: "Rigor" means a state of rigidity assumed by some animals in reaction to sudden shock.
