The Lone Dinosaur is a legendary figure in the folklore of The Land Before Time. He is first acknowledged in The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock, wherein Littlefoot's grandfather tells his Littlefoot and his friends a story detailing how the Lone Dinosaur saved some Longnecks from an exceptionally vicious Sharptooth.

History[]

According to the song, "The Legend of the Lone Dinosaur", the Lone Dinosaur was born atop a mountain, where his egg was simultaneously "burned" by the light of the sun and cooled by shade provided by a forest. He hatched leg-first during a storm.

Years later, when he was an adult roaming out in the west, his nest was eaten by a pack of Sharpteeth. In retaliation, he tracked down the saboteurs and whipped out all of their teeth during a fight before bellowing victoriously.

Presumably some years afterwards, he arrived in the Great Valley while a herd of Brachiosaurus was being harassed by "the biggest, meanest, most ferocious Sharptooth ever". During his skirmish with the Sharptooth, the Lone Dinosaur received a scar from the predator's claws, though he did ultimately defeat the Sharptooth by whipping him into a gorge. He proceeded to leave the Great Valley. Some time afterward, Saurus Rock formed.

No more is known of what happened to the Lone Dinosaur afterwards, though he may or may not live on in the form of Doc.
