## Dinosaur Watership

The herd was first formed in the aftermath of an immense earthquake which had destroyed their home, the Mojave Cliffside. Now alone and homeless, Noasaurus took it upon himself to lead the newly formed herd to safety. However, they don't trust Noasaurus with their safety and quickly disband. But they soon find themselves following Brachiosaurus instead. Along the way, they encounter numerous threats, like Cryolophosaurus and a bull Carnotaurus named Minos. Noasaurus and Brachiosaurus quarrel several times throughout the journey over the latter's xenophobia, eventually leading to a huge fight between the two. After the third attack, they are saved by a friendly Pterosaur, who aids them on their quest. The following morning, Pterosaur leads through the Labyrinthus Canyons, which led to a sheltered gorge. However, between the canyon and the gorge was a large portion of the Gwangi Desert, where they nearly die of heatstroke. Fortunately, they reach the gorge and fend off Cryolophosaurus and Minos, as well as turn the former away from his animalistic urges. Celebrating their achievement soon after.

## Dinosaur Watership 2

In Dinosaur Watership 2, the herd is forced to flee their resident gorge when a volcano erupts. The eruption kills several other residents before a pyroclastic flow kills Pterosaur. Upon his death, the herd befriends two mammals, Wensley and Alphadon before moving away. After several weeks in the Gwangi Desert, the herd finds an oasis where they can rest for a while. However, a trio of enslaved Tyrannosaurs attack them. The ensuing fight causes the dinosaurs to be separated from Alphadon, who uses his small size to force the carnivores' heads to slam into the ground, killing them. After their encounter with the Tyrannosaurs, the herd finds themselves at the exit of Labyrinthus Canyons, where they meet up with Dilophosaurus and Buckland. The herd is divided once more when another Tyrannosaur attacks Triceratops. After fending it off, Dimetrodon and Iguanodon are separated as well. the three misfits meet Pachycephalosaurus soon after. Meanwhile, Noasaurus and the others suspect Dilophosaurus of orchestating the past events and interrogate him. The four misfits meet up with Alphadon and find the canyon's entrance only to be attacked by several of Edaphosaurus' slaves. The herd manages to fight off the slaves and escape the canyon. Edaphosaurus finds the herd back in the Gwangi Desert where he slaughters Buckland and begins the Ice Age. The herd trudges through the snow, looking for Dilophosaurus. However, they find Cryolophosaurus again as well as the rest of the slaves. After witnessing Edaphosaurus' supernatural powers, the herd takes a stand against his tyranny. The battle leads Wenley and Alphadon to search for the HeatStone. Eventually, the mammals find it and use its power to end the Ice Age by melting the ice wall where the stone was kept. The ensuing flood gave the herd an advantage, as well as a quick get away. After a while, their boats stopped at a shore where they continued their journey to find another home. Unfortunately, they're still trapped within the now expanded Gwangi Desert. The herd soon found themselves sprinting away from the ejecta caused by the asteroid which Edaphosaurus had summoned. Eventrually, they take refuge in a cave where they meet a Scuriumimus named Scrappy. After seventeen days, the herd is pushed outside by a series of large boulders--only to find that the outside world is nothing more than a dark, bleak wasteland. In the midst of the ash coated landscape, Edaphosaurus stalks the herd and manages to impale Dilophosaurus. A fight breaks out between Noasaurus and Edaphosaurus--ending with the synapsid being torn apart by Gorlax and Hydrus. With the death of Dilophosaurus, the herd breaks ground once again, meeting another Edaphosaurus named Triyglax soon after. Triyglax leads them to an area where they can meet an elderly Styracosaurus named Old Gotama. Surely enough, the elderly Styracosaurus appears and leads the herd to his Sanctum where they decide to stay.

## The Dimensional Slip

Some time after Dinosaur Watership 2, Dracos had successfully broken through the barrier between dimensions. Back in prehistory, a tremor ran across Gotama's valley. Noasaurus and the rest of the herd prepared for the worst. To their surprise, a blinding light beamed over them until it carressed the valley with a single flash. Leaving no trace of its inhabitants. Soon the herd found themselves zapped into the present day, where they are welcomed by Shadow the Red Panda and co.

## Hadrosaur838 Series

The herd is reduced to a much smaller role than the movies. However, several members make short cameos, or even play a supporting role in each episode.

## Trivia

* In the Dinosaur Watership duology, the herd primarily consisted of ten members. With Pterosaur and later Cryolophosaurus, it was boosted to twelve in the first movie. In the second movie, seven more members were added, giving a total of nineteen members (including the deceased).
* In the remake for the first Dinosaur Watership movie, most of the herd members serve as minor antagonists, with Brachiosaurus serving as the overall secondary antagonist.
* The herd of dinosaurs seems to be the only characters native to the Prime Reality that are only affected by a time warp caused by the Dimensional Slip. As all other characters are affected by both time and realm.
