### *Speckles the Tarbosaurus*

He would be first seen hatchling out of his egg and staring at the moon at night, a year later, he grows and stays next to his family which they first plan a hunting strategy with Mom, Quicks, and his Sisters with Speckles not given any role. After feasting on a dinosaur his parents killed, he would be seen on the nest watching her sisters play then he would approach mom which he plays for a bit but mom pushes her to Quicks which he plays with him for a while until Mom commands him to spend time with him which Quicks takes him and his sisters. While they were walking in the forest, Speckles separates and comes across a Therizinosaurus, the dinosaur was very hostile until he was saved by his brother and his sisters which they take this time to run away. Once out of the forest, his mom plans another hunting with Quicks starting it but also dismissing Speckles for any role, regardless, he decides to start without his brother and try to take one dinosaur down but was ineffective. Then a stamped happens which Speckles was on a tough satiation, he witnesses his siblings die and after the stamped, he would see his mom fighting One-Eye which he'll also witness the death of his mom.

Later, he travels to varies places and meets other hostile dinosaurs, then goes back to the nest which he sees One-Eye coming with a carcass when he goes to drink water, Speckles takes his time to take a piece of the carcass which One-Eye comes back and chases him away from the nest. He then sleeps somewhere away from the nest with the dry bone he has.

1 month later. He will see One-Eye encountering a Therizinosaurus and hopes One-Eye gets killed but One-Eye dodges the attack and kills the Therizinosaurus, after killing it, another young Tarbosaurus comes near and takes caution while approaching, One-Eye first gives her a warning sign but then chases the Tarbosaurus away which Speckles take this time to take a piece from the Therizinosaurus' carcass. After relocating, he feasts on the piece until see the same Tarbosaurus moments ago, at first he backs her away from it until deciding to share it with her. When she was eating, Speckles inspects her body and sees that she has been starving for a while which felt a bit sympathy for her. After eating, Speckles now chooses to live along with his friend, when they were traveling, she playful pushes him with Speckles responds by chasing her. They both will travel to a lake in which they see the sky's hue giving the lake a beautiful view.

5 Years later, Speckles & Blue-Eyes have grown a bit and are still together, they go hunting at night and try to find some pray to hunt when Blue-Eyes was in position, One-Eye comes from nowhere and causes trouble for the 2 young Tarbosaurus. When Speckles makes it back, One-Eye targets Blue-Eyes which Speckles quickly reacts and bits One-Eye in the leg which causes One-Eye to focus on him, Speckles was scanning for something to use against One-Eye which he finds tar remaining in the bones. Speckles lure One-Eye in it and were successful for a while but the T-Rex was free and since he is no match for him, he decides to retreat with Blue-Eyes. After walking for a while, Blue-Eyes collapses to the ground and Speckles gets her back up and which they travel to find a place, as they see a stream, Speckles walks in the water with her watching which he stops and looks back and ask her to come which she carefully steps in the water and follows him. She stays with her for years.

10 Years later, Speckles will be seen fighting a Torosaurus and after killing, he roars in victory and later brings a huge chunk for Blue-Eyes to eat and while she was eating, he hears movement and brushes it off but then a huge boulder comes down to their nest and he saves Blue-Eyes from it while getting knocked out from it then lands on the water. After coming back, he saw One-Eye trying to mate with Blue-Eye. Speckles prepare to fight One-Eye but after he roars, he gets paralyzed from the sound of it and doesn't react for a moment until Blue-Eyes decides to attack One-Eye but gets knocked out right away. As Speckles now fights him, One-Eye gets the upper hand and tries to throw him off the edge, as Speckles was resisting, he sees Blue-Eyes down and defenseless and brings back a flashback of the same scenario he witnesses with his mother. Not wanting the same fate, Speckles breaks free from One-Eyes' lock and gets enraged and grabs him by the back of the neck and launches his him meters away.

After being motivated from the past, Speckles taunts One-Eye and he is prepared to fight another round, however, One-Eyes walks away in defeat and leaves the two alone. Speckles roar in victory and celebrate with Blue-Eyes, later, he brings her back to his old nest looks at the landscape from the nest with Blue-Eyes. As he mentions his old family, he is now glad to be back with his mate and they nuzzle each other.

After a month, Blue-Eyes guarded her eggs against any potential danger, and when he returns, Blue-Eyes shows their hatchlings to him, Speckles goes to the nest where the other eggs didn't hatch then another egg covered from a shell starts hatchling and once the egg hatched he saw that this one looked more like his father and has his mother's eyes which he brings him with the other 2 hatchlings and Speckles & Blue-Eyes are a family of 3. The day after, Speckles sleeps next to Blue-Eyes while his hatchlings play together and Speckles was living happily with his life but then a volcano erupts causing every species to evacuate the place and the nest wasn't safe anymore and they all try existing out but the rocks on the ceiling were falling and one of the hatchlings were killed, Speckles picks up one of his hatchlings then Junior collapses and was saved by mom which cause a boulder to crush her leg. They make it out and they were walking for a while then Blue-Eyes collapses, Speckles tries to get her up but then they see a long-neck dying from the distance which she tries again but it was too much for her to handle. Then a group of Velociraptors scouted them and try to kill the hatchling which Speckles tries to protect them but he was getting exhausted and more kept coming every time he kills one. Blue-Eyes briefly communicates with Speckles and bags him to go on and leave her behind then dies in front of them from exhaustion, as Speckles didn't want to leave her but has no choice to leave her.

He puts his hatchlings beneath him and charges out of there and knocks out any Velociraptors, once out, he'll look back and the Velociraptors were now approaching her carcass which Speckles mourns to the sky, Speckles will upset to see his hatchlings crying for their dead mother, Speckles can't go back and tells them to move along and now has to watch over his 2 remaining hatchlings.

As they continue walking for 2 weeks, they see a stamped coming towards them which they get separated and Speckles gets knocked out, he comes back in time to save Junior from One-Eye and now fights him for the last time.

As they continue to fight, One-Eye unintentionally knocks Junior to the water, Speckles gets enraged and knocks One-Eye in the water, then One-Eye targets Junior and so Speckles gets some distances and runs then leaps on One-Eye which he'll continue to fight him underwater. During his fight, Speckles tries to drown One-Eye but then Junior cries for him which then he tries to go to him but then One-Eye grabs him by the neck and tries to drown him but then a Tylosaurus grabs One-Eye. As One-Eye is out of the way, Speckles tries to reach to his remain hatchling but passes out, after hear his son's cries, he now takes Junior, he puts him in his mouth to keep him above water and tries to swim towards the new island but passes out, sooner he gets washed up on shore, Junior tries multiple times to wake him up and once he does, he nuzzles Junior and now Speckles is happy to live somewhere new with his only son. Speckles will now be happy to live somewhere he can dream of.

### Dino King: Journey to Fire Mountain

After roughly a year, Speckles will still be with his son.

He'll be seen when he kills the Tsintaosaurus chasing Junior then Speckles shames his son for running away from his pray, later, he takes him to a cliff and teaches him that the land they see will soon be his Junior's to protect when he gets older. After awhile, Speckles brings him to a river and he'll teach him that whenever he is lost, try to find a river that'll lead him back home but he'll spot a couple of Protosaurus and he now tries hunting again with his son. As Speckles leads the Protosaurus to him, Junior gets afraid and gets knocked off the river which he'll cry for his dad's help. When he was gonna help him, he realize how low the water levels are, when Junior stands up, his dad is extremely disappointed in him and calls him a disgrace which Junior responds back and they both walk opposite sides. As Speckles was staring at his reflection in the lake Blue-Eyes will appear, he talks to her about his recent life choices & how hard life is without her, he is also aware how hard he is to his son, Speckles is frustrated that he's doing this alone. However, Blue-Eyes just smiles and doesn't give any sort of responds.

Later at night, Speckles doesn't like his son constantly hiding in the tree but then a huge flare is seen coming down and causes an explosion. His son will have a small conversation with his dad about the stars and the changes they make that would cause them move again, Junior doesn't want to move but stay where they are forever then his dad let's him know that life has many things to offer and staying at the same place may cause him not know what's out there but then he'll remind him that he will always protect his son, they both sleep there for the night.

Speckles hears his son calling for his help and once he saw him, he was held by a pack of Deinonychus, Speckles was chasing after them and when they were almost out of his territory, 2 of Deinonychus stop to fight him, Speckles was getting the upper-hand then a Deinonychus cause him to slip and fall to the huge river. When he was out, he saw of the Deinonychus' footprint but then the rain was washing them off which Speckles promise he will find them and roars to the sky and continues his search.

After searching for a long time, Speckles gets tired and so decides to take a short break, however, he'll hear a Saichania coming after him but fails. Since the Saichania it's on it's back, Speckles confronts him and shame for challenging him, however the Saichania will not stop and will still try to get vengeance for Daisy since she was captured by carnivores like him, after Cy's flashback ends, Speckles decides to flip him to his side and will allied with him. After Cy uses his smell, he picks up some scents, he has doubt of working with him since he is a meat-eater but without any choice, Speckles will follow Cy where he is picking up the trail.

Speckles is still continuing his search for his son with Cy on his side, when Cy is following the scents, they see a huge dark ravine, Cy suggest that they don't go in but Speckles is against it and continues. Cy then does follow but then isn't able to find Speckles and gets a bit worried until being pinned down by a huge Brotoscorpion, as the Brotoscorpion stabs, Cy's armor isn't cracked and Brotoscorpion keeps stabbing him but then Speckles shows up to the scene and fights of few of them & defeating them, however, he gets stung by one of them and he gets enraged and decapitated the one that stung him and after that, they exit. When they walked further away, Speckles collapses to the floor then Cy notices that he has been stung, the Brotoscorpion's venom was causing Speckles to have some hallucinations, he sees Junior far away and goes where he is but Cy doesn't see anyone, Speckles passes out but then the sand starts sucking them under and they are inside a cave, Cy is worried where they are and when he looked at the entrance, he saw a female Tarbosaurus coming to them, he at first assumed it was Blue-Eyes but then passes out.

He'll get awoken when Cy was sounded like he was in trouble and once the female Tarbosaurus opens her mouth, Speckles will save him in time, he'll battle the female Tarbosaurus but was unable to put up much of a fight as she'll instantly counters his attacks while Cy tries to give him advice but Speckles will still lose, as he was on the ground, the female steps on his stomach, she'll be disappointed that she saved his life and he attacked her. When Speckles gets up, he'll see the huge pile of healer herbs attached to his leg and she wanted him to eat since he looked like he needed one. Cy will be disappointed but then the female will back Speckles away from the meal, Cy will constantly talk to her but she would just ignore him until he tells her to leave his "friend" alone. as she stops, Cy will announce that he's looking for vengeance while she'll say that she was looking for dinner which Cy suggest that she doesn't eat him since he'll taste like sour but she wants to find out but gets stopped by Speckles again & tells her that Cy is his friend, as Cy ask who she is, she'll instantly answered that her name is Fang. Cy also asked what is she doing here & which she'll answer that she's looking for her daughter since she was stolen from Deinonychus 2 weeks ago.

After walking in the desert for a long time, they were getting really tired but luckily they find water to hydrate themselves but they see a lot of Pukyongosaurus being raided by a number of Carnotaurus, Fang suggest they should help but is stopped by Speckles, he doesn't want to help them since it's not their problem then Fang would ask what if he was in the same scenario and she does the same thing he does which Speckles will answer that he wouldn't need her help and uses the scenario at them also, she protest against it as she tell him about the Pukyongosaurus mother feeling upset about this. Speckles still suggest that they don't help and their kids need them which they should go, Fang purposely bumps to him and tell him that he should go instead, As Fang helps, Cy also is against Speckles about this. He watches her chase a Carnotaurus with a egg on it's mouth and stops him, the Carnotaurus tries to trick her which she wasn't fooled that easily and knocks the egg off it's mouth, as the egg was bouncing to Cy, she ask Cy to try and catch it and fails then Speckles catches it with his mouth, a Pukyongosaurus approached him and Speckles gives the egg to her, the Carnotaurus will now target Fang, she was at first handling this but untimely gets taken down, Speckles sees this and finally helps her, as he recovered from the venom & also since Speckles has fighting experience, multiple Carnotaurus try to attack but get taken down instantly, and after Cy fights them as well. Speckles, Fang, and Cy now fight the pack of Carnotaurus, Speckles will spot the alpha of the pack which he targets him, the alpha tries to put up a fight with him but Speckles will beat him and pin him down, causing the other Carnotaurus to cease fighting, the alpha begs for mercy which Speckles does grant and the alpha calls the other Carnotaurus to retreat. As they look at the Pukyongosaurus, a young Pukyongosaurus hatches out of the egg and Fang is happy for the choice he made which Speckles will now suggest to go save their hatchlings.

He'll be seen again when he looks at the sky with Fang, she tells him that she always looked at the stars with her daughter, Speckles starts regretting on being so hard on his son as he cared that he was healthy but Fang assures that it wasn't his fault since the world is getting more dangerous but Speckles is worried that he may never tell Junior that he loved him. They spot a shooting star! In the morning, Speckles & Fang follow Cy and he's picking up a scent and comments how it smells worst, they see the Deinonychus torturing a Dsungaripterus, they set up a plan with Cy being used as bait, when Cy was corned that's when they come. the Red & Blue quickly escape except the Brown one, they in interrogate him and they ask where are their children thy kidnapped, he answers that they're in the compound, he gets asked where can they find it which he responds by following the streams. The Deinonychus begs to be spared but Speckles assures that it isn't his choice and only Cy makes the choice, after he decides they try to find the compound. As they continue walking, the volcano erupts and causes the environment to drop boulders, they run until a path was blocked, Speckles & Fang charge at it but Fang quickly gives up since it's not about moving. Cy hears something, they see the Pukyongosaurus they helped which Fang quickly calls them, the Pukyongosaurus approach them and help them with the boulders, as they enter, they see a huge number of Deinonychus in front of them. They charge though them and ultimately defeating all of them. They were still searching for Junior & Blue but the huge number of hatchlings running pass them made it hard to find them, as they continue to look, he looks more further away then they see their hatchlings, they try to get their attention but they're too far away.

Speckles & Fang see Blue & a infant Carnotaurus facing a pair of unidentified species, Fang intervenes and scares them away, he watches Blue embraces her after not seeing her more than 2 weeks and is glad she came. He hears a roar from another direction and looks to see his son being chased, he intervenes and scares it away. His son is glad to see him but Speckles instantly shames him for not putting up a fight, Junior tries to explain what he was doing but he gets cut off and shames him again. His son is fed up and is angry at his father then runs away. Blue overheard Speckles shaming his son, she bumps to his leg & disagrees of his actions, Blue informs him that he was trying to save his friend then Dusty backed her up saying that the creature originally went after her but Junior helped. After hearing this, Speckles felt bad for shaming his son since he now knows that he did stood up to one of them. But then the ground was shaking, they were wondering what is causing this then they see a gigantic beast, as it got their attention, Fang advices everyone to run. As they continue to run, they reunite with Cy and tells him to run, Fang tells everyone to go to the narrow path, Speckles stops and tries to find Junior but Cy quickly leaps to the narrow path while taking Speckles. As they're corned, Speckles remembers Junior and tries to get him but is stopped by Fang & Cy, they protest against him leaving but once Dusty notice that the monster is leaving, Speckles gets out and sees his son grab the monster's attention. As he sees his son, Junior tells him to get everyone to safety and has an idea but Speckles still goes after the beast. As the beast was focusing on Junior, Speckles & Fang would bite the monster while having it's attention. As they still fight it, Fang was getting exhausted and the Beast was struggling, Speckles bites it again which caused more pain and then the beast got him off his leg, as Speckles was down, luckily Junior & his friends got it's attention then run. As he runs after Junior, he sees that his son was struggling a bit so he helped a bit, due to the volcano erupting, this cause the celling to fall a bunch of rock and even very huge boulders, when the beast was slammed with multiple boulders it emitted smoke but then the beast's arm extended out and swings at Junior, causing him to be launched and hits a wall, Speckles approaches his son. After he's near, he saw Junior being motionless, he nudges him, but Junior doesn't show any sign of motion, Speckles begs him to wake up and gently lifts his head but he still doesn't show any sign of motion, then Speckles now realizes that his only hatchling has now died and Speckles slowly cries. When Cy warns them about the lava, Speckles now apologies and regrets overly judging his son and promises that he'll never do it again. As Cy warns them about the lava, Speckles mourns his dead son and is also slightly crying. When Dusty saw that Junior was still alive, Speckles would be happy knowing his only son is still alive and once he gets up, Speckles apologies to his son for being overly harsh and happily calls him a "brave Tarbo". Junior is excited to hear this from his own dad and roars triumphantly and his dad happily roars with him! Once they were done, Cy runs away from the lava with all of them follow, as they keep running, Dusty trips and lands on her side which Speckles quickly helps her back on her feet, as they keep running, they see a bunch of rocks blocking the exit and there were light stream coming out. They try using force to open it but they weren't enough, as they give up, they feel the ground shaking and they focus on the lava. They see the Beast surfacing and see him roaring in agony as the lava melts his skin, Speckles tells Fang to get them to safety and once the Beast saw him, he tries to bait it which the Beast leaps to him then Speckles dodges out of the way. As the Beast hits the wall, the rocks were falling and make a quick exit which Speckles tells everyone to run towards the exit and the exit is sealed once they make it out. Once they run away from the volcano, they look in front of them and they see a healthy land rich with green grass and trees with a bright blue sky with mountains ahead. As they continue to stare, Blade & Dusty run to the field, Cy informs them that he's gonna go back to his home, Speckles thanks him for helping him find their hatchlings while Fang also says her farewell and teases Cy about how she didn't find out how he tasted. Cy teases back and starts to leave, Speckles hopes he sees him next time but Cy doubts it and leaves. After he leaves, Speckles & Fang happily nuzzle their hatchlings and once their friends got their attention, Junior & Blue run to them while Speckles & Fang follow while enjoying their new home.

## Relationships

### Speckles' sisters

Speckles loved his mother very much. He admired her and his siblings for their hunting styles. He was very attached to her and was heart-broken when she was killed by One-Eye.

### Quicks

Speckles loved his older brother, Quicks very much. He liked to play with him. Just like the rest of his family, he was heart-broken when he was killed in the stampede caused by One-Eye.

### Speckles' sisters

They didn't want to play with Speckles, yet he still loved them, just like the rest of his family. He was horrified and heart-broken when they were killed in the stampede caused by One-Eye.

### Blue-Eyes

At first, the couple fought for meat when they were little. However, overtime, a friendship arose between them, which over the years grew into love.

Speckles and Blue-Eyes were great hunters and Blue-Eyes became a loyal hunting partner. They both tried to protect the other. When One-Eye attacked Speckles, Blue-Eyes went to his aid, but was pushed away and fell. When Speckles wanted to save her, he got into a fight with One-Eye and then with the Velociraptors. Her death was a shock to her mate. Speckles was devastated that he lost a female with whom he spent, almost two decades (20 years) he had to leave her body devoured with Velociraptor with great pain. Before he left the area, he let out a roar of rage and sadness.

In the second part of the film, Speckles, looking at his reflection, sees that it turns into the Blue-Eyes trademark. It shows how much he misses her. Speckles says, to her trademark, that life is different without her and he can't raise Jr., Blue-Eyes smiles at him, hinting that he must be strong.

### Fang

Fang and Speckles didn't get along at first. Fang saved Speckles after he was stung by a pack of gigantic scorpions. She healed his leg with herbs. When Fang wanted to save eggs because Carnotaurus had stolen them, Speckles selfishly forbade her to interfere, because he stated that "it is not their business". However, it should also be noted that Speckle's reluctance wasn't entirely selfish as while he was callously dissmive of the unhatched sauropod's wellbeing, his reluctance stemmed from his unwillingness to waste anymore time out of fear of losing Jr., epically since he was the only family Speckles had left. Fang and Speckles argued. The female finally got her way, but when the Carnotaurus attacked her, the male intervened. After this event, the two predators started to get along better.

As it is implied at the end, it is possible that the couple fell in love, but whether they create; such a strong relationship as Speckles and Blue-Eyes is unknown.

### Speckles Jr.

Speckles Jr. (Jr., for short) is Speckles only son/child. Jr. was named after his father; due to his strong resemblance towards Speckles.

Speckles cares deeply for his son. As shown when he defended Junior and his clutchmates from velociraptors and again from One-Eye when the T-rex ambushed them (excluding the brown-eyed hatchling known as "Brown-Eyes" by fans due to them getting killed by the raptors) and  jumped in when Junior fell into the ocean. By the end of the movie, Speckle's whishes a good life for his only son (The gray hatchling nicknamed "Aaron" by fans drowned during The final battle between Speckles and One-Eye).

However in the 2nd movie, it is revealed that Speckles has become overly harsh with his surviving son as seen when he scolds Jr. and harshly reprimands him when he runs away from his prey instead of fighting and again when he fails his first hunt and is unable to swim when he falls into a nearby river despite the water being shallow when Speckles losses his temper and shames Jr. for his cowardice. Although Speckles feels bad for judging his son too harshly, he struggles to redeem himself since he is scared that he doesn't know how to raise Jr. alone.

Despite the harshness, Speckles really loves him. You can see it when he despairs as he thought Jr. died when he mourns over his unconscious body. He even sheds a tear.

The Tarbosaurus begins to understand that it would be too harsh for his son. He also admits that he was wrong and he was wrong to judge him.
