* NotSoAboveItAll: As the film goes on, he shows that he's not perfect and does lose his temper. This is best seen when he angrily throws himself at the wall of rocks that's blocking the group from exiting the cave, and then when he's forced to challenge the not quite as literal wall of rocks that Kron is when he demands everyone follow him. He swishes his tail at Kron in a rude gesture, finally fed up with the older ''Iguanodon''.

* CasanovaWannabe: Zini fails to find a mate in the courtship. His catcalling of Neera also leaves her notably unimpressed when she is led to believe it was Aladar. He has much more luck in the Nesting Grounds.Grounds, though it's somewhat implied he may be the ''only'' bachelor and the first one they've had in a while.



* PluckyComicRelief: Zini.

to:

* PluckyComicRelief: Zini.Zini provides quite a bit of the comic relief in the movie once he's grown, though he still has several moments when he knows when to be quiet.



* ActuallyPrettyFunny: She has a laugh when Yar snarks that it must've been a while since she last welcomed babies into the world.



* Really700YearsOld: ''The Essential Guide'' contests that she is 100 years old, which is certainly this trope by dinosaur standards (RealLife evidence suggests that dinosaurs of most species seldom lived past their thirties).

to:

* MightyGlacier: She's slow and bloated from age, but she's ''still'' a large ''Styracosaurus'' and does her best to ram the cave wall.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In the video game, Yar is often positioned in areas where predators can reach him, but they can never harm him.

* SoleSurvivor: The last surviving members of Lemur Island. They believed they were the last lemurs like Baylene was the last ''Brachiosaur'', but they find more of their kind in the Nesting Grounds (which Eema also assured them there was every chance of).



* HonoraryUncle: Tie-in books to the film describe her as becoming an honorary grandmother to Aladar and Neera's children.



* TheLoad: Justified due to her advanced age, she's not much help against predators, and actually collapses once during the trek from exhaustion.

to:

* LittleNo: Once she notices the landslide that has blocked the entrance to the Nesting Grounds, she gives a quiet "oh, ''no''" as she realizes the herd is going to a dead end.
* TheLoad: Justified due to her advanced age, she's not much help against predators, and actually collapses once during the trek from exhaustion. She's not able to contribute as much as Baylene, but once she has a chance, she helps bring down the wall to the Nesting Grounds and her knowledge is also useful, setting the third act into motion by recognizing the old entrance to the valley.



* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Baylene's blue.

* HonoraryUncle: Tie-in books to the film describe her as becoming an honorary grandmother to Aladar and Neera's children.



* TheLoad: Kron sees her as this given she's old and slow, but Aladar realizes her massive size and strength by virtue of being a ''Brachiosaurus'' is more than enough to disqualify her from this. She even lampshades how Aladar made her realize she truly isn't TheLoad.

* ChekhovsSkill: He really likes rocks and sticks like a dog, but when the group needs a place to stay, he presents Aladar with a stalagmite, recognizing it came from the nearby cave.



* TheLoad: Despite not apparently being elderly like Baylene and Eema, he's slow and too small to defend himself despite being a ''Euoplocephalus''. He only briefly contributes anything to the group when he discovers the cave for them to spend the night in.

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: What ultimately convinces The Herd to leave Kron in favor of following Aladar (something the latter may have been counting on); Kron continually treated them as expendable even when they near their end goal of reaching the Nesting Grounds while Aladar is the only dinosaur to not only show them compassion but offer an easier way to get into the Nesting Grounds. In other words, the idea that Kron would sooner kill them so close to their destination than allow himself be proven wrong was the final straw for them.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Outside of ''Literature/TheLostWorld1995'', ''Carnotaurus'' was a rather obscure dinosaur. This film's depiction ended up introducing it to a wider audience, eventually turning the ''Carnotaurus'' into a {{Stock Dinosaur|s}}.
