Riff

**Riff** is a six-year-old orange Hadrosaurus who is Baby Bop and BJ's cousin and a friend of Barney's.

## Personality

Riff is all about music. He hears music everywhere he goes. His theme song is none other than "I Hear Music Everywhere". Like the other dinosaurs, he is an amicable character. Riff also enjoys inventing things on the side.

## Creation

Riff was created to add musical diversity to the series.

## Design

In his early appearances on the show, Riff was slightly tall as BJ's costume in 1993-1994. He was redesigned in season three; his height was shrunken to better suit his age of six (and later seven) years old.

Riff is known for his crest lighting up with green lights, which makes music when it does. Riff is orange with a yellow tummy with green spots and green spikes. He wears green sneakers with yellow socks and purple laces on them.

## Trivia

* Riff is the only dinosaur whose name does not start with the letter B.
* Riff's favorite food is "Ants on a Log" (celery with cheddar cheese and raisins)
* He has a few catchphrases, those being: Wowzer!, Tippity-Top. Later Skaters!
