Sharptooth



The Sharptooth is a Tyrannosaurus Rex and the primary villain in the 1988 Don Bluth animated feature, The Land Before Time. He is first seen stomping through the pond where Cera and Littlefoot once played in. Then, the Sharptooth chases them to a large thicket where Cera and Littlefoot hide from him. Littlefoot's mother rescues him and Cera and fights the Sharptooth and plunges him off a cliff, but she suffers a wound and sacrificed herself when she told her son Littlefoot to go to the Great Valley.

Later, the Sharptooth came to when Cera was "waking him up." He again encounters Littlefoot and his friends, destroying Littlefoot's Treestar, and chasing them through a hole, but the Sharptooth was too big to budge through the hole.

Littlefoot and his friends hatched a plan to defeat the Sharptooth, taking Ducky as live bait to lure the Sharptooth into the waters below. Petrie distracted the Sharptooth while Littlefoot and Spike were pushing a rock off the cliff, and Cera came in the nick of time to knock the rock off the cliff, taking the Sharptooth with him, where he met his end when he was sent to a watery grave. There are other Tyrannosaurus Rexes in other Land Before Time series
