I guess I don't understand the question Malte.  <_<

For exampe Maiasaura means "Good mother lizzard" if there was a Maiasaura character whose name means "Bad mother lizzard" it would be the opposite of her scientific name. The opposite name I'm asking for isn't that exact, but it still describes the opposite of one of the scientific names of the character's kind. Really, it isn't as difficult as it looks.

I know that apatosaurs didn't have large brains but Littlefoot is quite smart for his species....am I getting warmer to what you're asking?  I'm still not entirely getting what you asked.

The name "Littlefoot" has not much to do with intelligence, nor has the meaning of Apatosuarus (which means "Deceptive lizard"). Sure enough the name Littlefoot has nothing to do with deceptivenes either. Still you are thinking in the right direction. Think of the scientific names of one kind, and you may come across it.

Could it be Ducky since there are some duckbill dino's that it's name means duck bick or duck mouth or something like that

No, there is nothing that contradicts the scientific name in Ducky's name. I did give a hidden hint in the message before before.

You can give me all the hints you want but I'm still not catching really what it is.

So I think what you want is a characters name that misrepresents the behavior of their species?  Am I right?

Well, "behaviour" doesn't really hit the point. "Be heavier" would suit better  :lol:
I can tell you it's a character we see in more than one movie, so skip Rooter and the like.

Well, the pig of the film is Spike, but stegosaurs actually had spikes on their tails for defense so that can't be it....

Not that it makes any difference, but we don't put the 'u' in behavior over here on this side of the Atlantic.  Same goes for color, and favorite.

^ I sometimes get confused with British and American English

Spike is not the character I'm talking of. I know that the one I'm talking of was planned to be given a name that matched one of his kinds names. However they changed that plan, as they wanted the character's name to sound cuter.

Hmm...hazarding a guess here but is it Shorty? I think his species is a Brachiosaurus (I think but dont quote me on that one) and Brachiosaurs were one of the largest dinosaurs around in terms of height. Thus, this is were the conflict lies between the species and the characters name...

How's my aim? ;)

Nope. Brachiosaurus means "Armlizard", so called because of his forelegs being longer than the hindlegs while it was the other way round with almost all sauropods (longnecks). Also Shorty appears only once while I said we see the character I'm talking of in more than one movie.
I wonder if I should solve this riddle, but actually it is not THAT difficult. There was a guess in the right direction already. I gave some hints in my responses, but maybe they were to little?

I don't mean to steep on anybody's foot by choosing too difficult questions. But really, once you'll know the answer you'll find it quite obvious. There are many little hinds hidden in my messages. If I would be deceptive about it, I'm sure you would thunder at me.  ;)

I think we've all taken our guesses so I guess if you just want to tell us and put us out of our misery it would be grateful.  :lol:

Really my messages are swarming with hints. Give it another LITTLE try! Don't thunder at me or stomp with a foot. And as an Italian might say "Pronto".

Hmmm...could it be that Littlefoot was considered the longest time to be a Brontosaurus (Thunder Lizard) and those feet of his sure won't make any noise?  :D

Yeah! That's it!
I tried to put hinds up such as refering to names (plural) of one (singular) kind, writing bold type letters in words such as little and foot. Mentioned thunder and finally the Pronto (sounding similar to Bronto).
Littlefoot was originally meant to be named Thunderfoot, but it didn't sound qute enough.

Geez, it's about time someone got it right. :P

There's a scene in the movie where it appears a deleted scene got added in!  Where is it?

? You mean a movie was released and in a later version another scene was added?
You probably don't, but otherwise it would be difficult to say how that scene was deleted if it was actually in a movie.
The only thing that comes to my mind spontaneously is a scene that is included in the English, but not in the German version of LBT 6, but you can't mean that one.
