— Littlefoot taunting the sharptooth
|
This Sharptooth serves as the sole antagonist of The Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze. It is the only sharptooth that appears in the film. There is a large amount of speculation that this individual may be Red Claw, the main antagonist of the TV series, who obtained a scar that has an unknown origin.
History[]
A Sharptooth identical to it first appears at the beginning of the film sleeping when a much smaller Sharptooth unknowingly lands on top of its nose, waking it up. It opens its mouth and tries to bite the dinosaur, but it runs and the sharptooth gives chase. The smaller creature runs and leaps over the root of a tree, with the Sharptooth then turning its attention to a different dinosaur that scurries up the tree. The carnivore then turns its attention to a hadrosaur, but the hadrosaur jumps into a pool of water and swims away while the Sharptooth slips and falls.
Later in the film, what appears to be the same Sharptooth chases after Ducky after she sees its footprints and heard it moving towards her. Although she manages to escape, it follows her all the way to Littlefoot and her other friends. It sees the rest of the gang and starts to head towards them all. The children make their way up a hill but Mr. Thicknose stays where he is. The sharptooth scares him up as well, but is hit by snowballs from the children, enraging it. It starts to climb up the hill to reach the gang but is knocked out thanks to a giant snowball they roll at it. After the gang leave the area it is shown to be shaking, implying that it is not done.
The Sharptooth appears again later in the film, appearing to have followed the gang by scent or by following the footprints. He attacks the gang again, this time much closer. Mr. Thicknose manages to speed up the hill past the children. Just as the sharptooth is catching up to them and prepares to attack, Mr. Thicknose makes it up the hill and pushes a log off the hill to help the children. The sharptooth trips on the log and rolls down the hill on top of it. It is pushed off a cliff to its unknown fate.
Trivia[]
- This sharptooth somewhat resembles the Sharptooth from the opening narration of The Land Before Time XIV: Journey of the Brave.

- This sharptooth is also known by some as the Mountain Sharptooth.
- The sharptooth is slightly smaller than the rest of the sharpteeth of its morph in the series.
