Honestly, I would switch Littlefoot and Chomper. Here's my reasoning why:
Littlefoot is not aggressive, in any sense of the word. When he fought back against Cera, that was more of emotions getting the best of him. It's not the first time he's let this happen, as shown in II and V when he fights with her again, but I wouldn't say he really has any wrath to be unleashed. Envy, on the other hand, is very present in his life. Look at Grandpa Longneck. Littlefoot idolizes him, and more than likely wants to be exactly like him: a true leader. He hasn't reached that point in his life yet, but he feels he will. He gives hints to this in II and XI when he resents his size. Then we look at Doc, a hero of a story his Grandpa told him. He spent the majority of VI trying to be exactly like him, even going off on his own to try and end the bad luck. Clearly, he wants to become stronger, and tries very often to prove himself in the eyes of his friends and the herd.
In Chomper's case, I really don't think he envies his friends. True he may get lonely from being the only sharptooth in the valley, but in most cases he seems pretty content with who he is. He always finds food without endangering his friends, and now he has a home of his own that he enjoys. The reason why I feel wrath better suits Chomper is because it could be possible that he fears his future. He knows that once he grows up, he can't survive on small bugs anymore, he needs to eat meat. Also, there's no way to tell that Chomper will remain the same lovable, kind-hearted sharptooth. His predator instincts could eventually take over and cause him to do terrible things that he wants to avoid. So, in a way, he's fearing a wrath that he may not be able to control.
