Chomper

Chomper is a character from the Land Before Time films and TV series. He is a purple Tyrannosaurus, which is one of many species of carnivorous dinosaurs called "sharpteeth" in the Land Before Time series. Chomper was so well received by the fans and critics of the series that he was brought back as a supporting character in The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island, and re-introduced as a main character in the television series. 
== History ==
Chomper first appeared in The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure, when he was hatched by Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike. Being raised by them for the first day of his life has led him to be friendly with herbivorous dinosaurs, although they do not always trust him. He is bilingual, being able to speak both the herbivore language of the plant-eating dinosaurs (heard as English to the viewer), and the "Sharptooth" language of the carnivorous dinosaurs, which seems to consist of grunts, roars, and clicks, which makes him quite useful in solving disputes between the herbivores and carnivores. 
== Personality ==
Chomper's personality is very outgoing, and he is always willing to go on an adventure with his friends. He tries to please his friends as much as possible, and thus is prone to being taken advantage of. He shows fierce loyalty to his friends, and he often openly exclaims his friendship even to those who intimidate him, like Doc in The Lone Dinosaur Returns, and Thud in Escape from the Mysterious Beyond. He is also quite naïve, though not quite to the extent of some of the others, such as Ducky or Petrie, and he easily believes what he is told. Chomper is also very easygoing and optimistic. An example is in The Mysterious Tooth Crisis, when he believes what Topps says about him falling apart to bones. He is also known to panic easily, particularly when there is risk of someone seeking to harm him. This is seen in The Lone Dinosaur Returns, in which he tries desperately to stay away from Doc, fearing that he will kill him because he is a Sharptooth. He often feels sensitive about his size, as in Escape from the Mysterious Beyond and The Missing Fast-Water Adventure. Despite all this, he has a very kind heart, and he is most often seen singing the song Feel So Happy in the television series, reflecting his good nature. 
== Role in fanon media ==
