[[folder:Paulette & Polly Polycotylus]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kids_mezzannine_16x9_721.jpg]]
--> '''Voiced by''': Kathleen Barr (Paulette), Claire Corlett (Polly)\\
'''Appear in''': "Zeppelin: Atoll" %% needs episode number

A pair of plesiosaurs who the ''Pteranodon'' family meet on their zepplin adventure. Paulette gave birth to Polly the day before their pod began migrating.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Fitting with their Australian accents, Paulette's dialogue is accompanied by digeridoos.
* PregnantReptile: Discussed. When Polly says she's one day old, the kids point out that she's half the size of her mother, and Don wonders if her egg was huge. Polly says no, her species gives live birth.
* UnexplainedAccent: They have Australian accents, even though ''Polycotylus'' fossils are only known from North America.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: When Tiny says they're from another part of the Cretaceous, Polly says "did you think I was born yesterday?"... then clarifies that she meant that literally. Despite being a baby, she's half the size of her mom and can already hold a conversation.

[[folder:Dion Dimetrodon]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deon_2.png]]
-->'''Voiced by''': Alan Marriott\\
'''Appears in''': "Back in Time" %% needs episode number

An easily-awed synapsid from the Permian, the time before dinosaurs.

* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: His eyes are always half-shut to complement his easy-going personality and relatively slow speech.
* EasilyImpressed: He's amazed by everything from the Mesozoic, from the existence of flying vertebrates to the tastes of lizards.
* FaeriesDontBelieveInHumansEither: The episode begins with Tiny thinking that there was nothing before the Triassic, but it turns out Dion thought the Mesozoic was just a myth.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: While almost everyone in this show is a time-traveller, Dion stands out for being the only Palaeozoic animal to appear; at the end of his episode, he briefly enters the Triassic and comments on how different everything is in the future.
* ThatsNoMoon: Tiny assumes he's a weird-looking plant when she first sees his sail, so everyone is startled when he starts moving.

* OddNameOut: His SpeciesSurname isn't a genus, ''and'' he has a "the" in the middle. The only other characters these both apply to are other hermit crabs.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/don_pteranodon.png]]

* PredatorsAreMean: {{Downplayed}}. He's the antagonist of his second appearance, "A Spiky Tail Tale", where he gets into a territorial dispute with Morris.

%%Please only add examples about Dr. Scott as he appears on the show, not about him as a person

* SigningOffCatchphrase: "Keep watching for more dinosaur discoveries" for the first episode in each [[TwoShorts pair]]; "And remember: get outside, get into nature, and make your own discoveries" for the same one.
