History Characters / Dinosaur

* HonorBeforeReson: He never listens to any common sense if it clashes with his pride. This results in his death by the Carnotaurus at the end of the film where he was too full of pride to join the herd and went his own way.

* OneDimensionalThinking: He insists on doing things his way and whenever a more practical alternative is given, he unhesitantly shoots it down. This ends up costing his life when after his former herd drive back a Carnataur, he ends up making himself the predator's next target.

* TooDumbToLive: Kron'a stubbornness has caused him to fake so many foolhardy decisions that it's a miracle he made it as far to the blocked Nesting Ground entrance.

* FatBastard: Bruton is very crass and abrasive, and much stockier than Kron or any other ''Iguanodon'' seen, and is pretty unpleasant early on. ''The Evolution of An Animated Feature'' says he was designed to move like he had trouble maintaining his balance over his own bulk. He sheds the bastard part after his change of heart.
* {{Foil}}: To Aladar. While Aladar is an optimist, Bruton is TheCynic who lost hope a long time ago. At the same time, they are both competent leaders who, unlike Kron, actually care about the herd. This can also be seen in their appearance, as while Aladar is gracile, Bruton dwarfs him in size. In a way, Bruton is what Aladar would become if he fell into despair, which nearly happens shortly after Bruton’s death.
* HandicappedBadAss: Got a badly injured leg from the ''Carnotaur'' attack, forcing him to hobble around for the rest of the film. Despite that, he's able to put up a fight.

* UniformityException: Other ''Styracosaurus'' are seen making up the herd, but Eema is the only one with a unique character model and an elderly appearance.

[[folder:Flia]]
->''"I'll have a look."''
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RebeccaWink

A ''Pteranodon'' who is exclusive to the Playstation One and PC games. She is one of the three playable characters (aside from Aladar and Zini).

* SocialOrnithopod: An amiable, pleasant and compassionate Iguanodon.

* AnachronisticAnimal: Modern-looking Sifaka lemurs in a Mesozoic setting. Primates of ''any'' sort, let alone lemurs, did not in fact appear until at least a couple million years after the Cretaceous period had already ended.

* UnusualAnimalAlliance: The herd is made of several different species, primarily ''Parasaurolophus'', ''Iguanodon'', ''Styracosaurus'',''Pachyrhinosaurus'', ''Microceratus'', ''Stygimoloch'' and ''Struthiomimus'', banding together for common survival.

* DwindlingParty: Just like the herd, the raptors seem to be dying off from a lack of food and water. When Aladar first comes across the pack, there are around seven individuals. When we see the raptors again during the march across the crossing, only three individuals are seen together.

* GutturalGrowler: Not just when speaking English, but when roaring as well.

%%* DeadpanSnarker:%%Quotes aren't context.
%%-->(''after Aladar apparently catcalls her'') '''Neera''': That children, is what's known as a "jerk-o-saurus."

%%* OfficialCouple: With Aladar.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In the video game, Yar is often positioned in areas where predators can reach him, but they can never harm him.
* InterspeciesAdoption: The lemurs equally love Aladar, an ''Iguanodon'', and treat him as part of the family.

* TheLoad: Outside of their lemur-sized island, they're defenseless against predators and must ride out the adventure out on the dinosaurs' backs. All but Yar help in some manner, however; Zini helps Aladar discover the lake water, Suri saves the infant ''Iguanodons'' from dehydration, and Plio remains the group's stalwart TeamMom and helps heal Bruton, even if only a little bit. In the game, this is [[AvertedTrope averted]] with Zini as he is one of the three main characters and has the specific skill set of retrieving healing fruit from trees.
* TheMedic: Plio recognizes a plant that grew on the island that can heal wounds, and treats Bruton with it. Given her size she can't begin to cover the entirety of his wounds, but the action spoke louder than the words here.

* KarmicDeath: As a result of his social Darwinist outlook, Kron [[spoiler:abandons the herd when the ''Carnotaurus'' attacks]]. As the herd manages to break the predator's charge by standing as one, the ''Carnotaurus'' [[spoiler:notices the lone Kron, charges after him, and mortally wounds him]].

* NotSoStoic: He's visibly fearful when faced down by the ''Carnotaurus'' at the end and is barely able to put on a brave face.
** Also his reaction when he finds out the lake has dried up.

Characters who appear in the 2000 film ''{{WesternAnimation/Dinosaur}}''.
----

* AnachronismStew: She's a ''Brachiosaurus'', a Jurassic dinosaur, living contemporaneously with numerous Cretaceous era dinosaurs. Word of God admits as much, but handwaves it with the fact that Baylene is explicitly referred to as the last of her kind -- which still stretches imagination more than a bit, as the movie is much closer in time to the modern day that to when brachiosaurs last lived[[note]]One wonders why they didn't just make her a titanosaur instead, that being a sauropod group that ''was'' still around during the late Cretaceous and seeing as it would've changed almost nothing about the story[[/note]].

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:His attempt to escape the ''Carnotaurus'' backfires spectacularly. Being the only one to flee rather than stand and fight, Kron makes himself easy prey for the discouraged ''Carnotaurus'' to turn its attention to. And his refusal to listen Aladar's warning about rockslide causes him to be cornered by the predator, with no hope of escape.]]

* {{Determinator}}: Deconstructed. Kron is so determined to get the herd to their homeland, he's willing to let a lot of them, including children, die if they can't keep up.

* EtTuBrute: He's completely devastated when Neera [[spoiler: abandons him to join Aladar. Before his death, however, he gets to see Neera fighting a ''Carnotaurus'' to the death to try to save him, and you can tell that he appreciates it before passing]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He loves his sister dearly. [[spoiler: Her leaving him for Aladar hurts him deeply.]]

* LovableLizard: Aladar is an AllLovingHero iguanodon who was adopted by a family of lemurs and who eventually wins over Neera.

* FantasticRacism: On the receiving end of this in the game, as she claims that the herd will only listen to Aladar as he's "one of them".

* LovableLizard: Aladar is an AllLovingHero igunadon who was adopted by a family of lemurs and who eventually wins over Neera.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: [[spoilder: She rams into Kron just as he is about to kill Aladar for questioning his leadership one last time.]]
