### Dinosaurs

* Barney: The main character is a purple and green *Tyrannosaurus* in stuffed animal likeness, who comes to life through a child's imagination. His theme song is "Barney is a Dinosaur," whose tune is based on "Yankee Doodle". Barney often quotes things as being "Super dee-duper". Episodes frequently end with the song "I Love You", sung to the tune of "This Old Man", which happens to be one of Barney's favorite songs. Despite being a carnivorous type dinosaur, Barney likes many different foods such as fruits and vegetables, but his main favorite is a very great big peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk.
* Baby Bop: A green *Triceratops*, who was originally two years old, but turned three in "Look at Me, I'm 3!". Baby Bop has been on the show since her debut in "Barney in Concert". She wears a pink bow and pink ballet slippers and carries a yellow security blanket. She sings the song "My Yellow Blankey" to show how much her security blanket means to her. She likes to eat macaroni and cheese and pizza. She is the younger sister of B.J.
* B.J.: A seven-year-old yellow *Protoceratops*, B.J. He is the older brother of Baby Bop, whom he frequently calls "Sissy" and occasionally calls by her name. He sings "B.J.'s Song" about himself. He wears a red baseball cap and red sneakers. He lost his hat in the episode "Hats Off to B.J.!". Pickles are his favorite food and he has tried them in various ways, such as on pizza.
* Riff: An orange six-year-old hadrosaur, who is Baby Bop and B.J.'s cousin. He wears green sneakers. His theme music is "I Hear Music Everywhere". Riff loves music and it is in almost everything he does. In the episode "Barney: Let's Go to the Firehouse", it was revealed that Riff also likes to invent things; he created a four-sound smoke detector (the first three were different alarm sounds and the final one his voice). He is shown to have an interest in marching bands and parades.
* Raspberry Raptor: a 3-year-old *Velociraptor*, he's Riff's cousin and speaks fast since Velociraptor means "swift robber", he sometimes tag alongs with Barney like Blue the Velociraptor in Jurassic world.
* Peterson: not a dinosaur, but a *Pteranodon* who talks like Grover, he crash-lands like Super Grover, and he's Barney distant cousin

#### other characters

* Scooter McNutty, a brown squirrel
* Miss Etta Kette, a purple bird
* Booker T. Bookworm, an orange worm with interests in books
* B.B. King Jaybird; a blues-singing blue jay, who talks just like B. B. King and Hoots the owl from Sesame Street.
* Hooting Annie: a friendly blue talking great horned owl with a country accent, her saying is "hoot, howdy friends!" She likes music and she helps kids when they want to make up new songs.
* Professor Tinkerputt-this professor did not want to share his invented toys, until Barney and the kids showed him that good things happen when you share. For this reason, Tinkerputt left Imagination Island with Barney and the others and started a new toy factory.
* Stella-she travels all around the world, collecting new stories to tell Barney and friends, among other people.
* Mother Goose-The rhyme master herself appears in a few episodes, as well as her talking goose who loves a good joke
* The Winkster-a guy who loves to laugh and play tricks, but he's also a friend to Barney
* Geraldo, a very crafty Gargamel-like elf who used to hunt down the Biggles, until he laughs after being blasted with the bubble blaster. Now, he has become a good guy.
* The Biggles Troupe-Billy, Ruby, and Freckles are Barney's little friends
* Puff the magic dragon-a good friend of Barney who loves to tell stories as well as laugh and also, he makes a mean marshmallow-kabob
