Let's see if I can even think of ten characters I like....
Permanent on the #1 Spot:
1. Sierra- No surprise there!! What's not for me to like, he has all the traits I love in a villain: unsympathetic, violent, impatient, the whole sociopathic package. He seemed like an actual threat and I felt that if it wasn't for Pterano and (to some extent) Rinkus, he could cause some serious harm, if not death, to someone. I could also relate to him to some extent; I know that if there weren't those few kind people in my life that showed me that humans aren't all bad, I probably would've ended up just like this guy...
The next three are interchangable in position depending on my current interests, thus the numberings doesn't really matter:
Ozzy- I just loved this dude even when I was little. His Egg song is so catchy and it was the first LBT song I memorized. He's also probably as threatening as Sierra when it comes to cruelness, but with a higher-tolerance level (it took quite a bit of interruptions from the gang to make him murderous, whilst Sierra always seems ready to snap for the slightest of reasons).
Thud- I liked all three of the gang at first, then I saw the episode Escape from the Mysterious Beyond. I found myself enjoying what he had to say and felt even a bit of admiration on how much pain he had to be enduring without shedding a single tear (he did wince heavily and make all sorts of loud pain-filled sounds, but that's about it). I was happy Chomper saved him and even more delighted to see that this raptor had a sense of 'I-O-U'. I think that's a rare trait to cover in a sharptooth.
The Domehead Trio- From the original movie. Yay to psycho dinosaurs! These characters may have only gotten like, 30 seconds of screentime, but they did leave a big impression on my sister and I. It was their appearance that inspired a....painful childhood game where we bonk our heads together (maybe that explains why we're so messed up in the head). Plus their appearance was a mystery to me; why were they attacking Cera? Were they about to eat her :blink: ? Why don't they talk?! And, my, what large sharp claws they have, especially by Leaf Eater standards.... Anywho, I've grown to respect them and now they've earned a lofty spot on my list!
The next three also interchange within this range, so numbers won't matter here either:
The Original Sharptooth- Can't say this guy gave me nightmares (truthfully, I had more nightmares on JP's raptors than this guy), but he did scare me a bit when I was little. Now I see him for the awesome predator that he was... *sigh* back in the time that they weren't afraid to hold back. But even though I was frightened of him a bit, I felt upset that they had to kill him. When I was younger, it seemed to me unneccesary since he wasn't an immediate threat and was even minding his own business while a vengeful plot was being made to murder him. But that's just me...
It's a Liopleurodon, Charlie. A MAGICAL Liopleurodon- When I first watched the 9th movie, I paid little mind to him. Now I admit, Liopleurodon have always been one of my fav prehistoric creatures since watching Walking with Dinosaurs. So when I read somewhere that Journey to Big Water had a liopleurodon in it (some say it was inspired by the one in Walking with Dinosaurs, but I'm not too sure on that...), I decided that I had to re-watch it. And I loved him! He seemed almost as scary as Sharptooth (especially that scene where he rears up out of the water and lightning goes off behind him; that was plain epic) and I was glad he didn't have to be killed off like the majority of the other sharpteeth and actually found his way back home.
"Plated Sharptooth" (as known in the LBT wiki)- When I first watched the 5th movie, first thing I noticed about this guy was how huge and sharp his teeth and claws were compared to other sharpteeth. Then later, it occured to me that he seemed pretty smart when he revealed the kids from under that rock. He jumps high and far just like Sharptooth, and proved to be a powerful fighter, able to hold his own against Chomper's parents. Plus, he actually drew blood. I liked that too, though I can't seem to get over that tearing noise when Chomper's Dad bit him...
Okay, now these are the least secure in their places and may change completely as time goes by:
8. Guido- Cute and funny. And feathery. I watched the tv episode before the movie and didn’t think much of him. Then I got the Great Day of the Flyers because of a review I watched on youtube (and because I love Flyers). Guido then took the cake and became the most recent to join this list. However, despite his placement, I’m sure he’ll be advancing in the future as I relate to him more and more. Plus, who doesn’t love that one insult to Petrie’s siblings!
Edit: Just as I predicted, he's advanced up the list! Way to go, Guido!
9. Mo- He was adorable and I love his voice. He's just so freakin playful, makes me wanna join him if he were real. And he seems like a very good friend to be with. Sure, he can be annoying at times, but he's brave enough as to intend to sacrifice himself to save his pals. That's a very rare buddy to find nowadays.
10. The Rainbow Faces- I liked the design in general and I love the interactions with these two. The male's eager enthusiasm to help and to share 'forbidden' information makes me laugh. And I love their songs too, especially the last one (for some reason, I always get chills listening to it). When I found they were aliens, it made me smile all the more as it enforced the fact that there are unknowns yet to be discovered. And it makes me wonder what their true forms look like...
