I love this character as well! In fact, he's my fave in the whole series. It sucks that he doesn't come back in another sequal or any of the tv series.
But in my crazy fangirl world, he met a blue flyer named Devon, who happens to be Sierra's son. At first, Devon despises Pterano for abandoning his father and plots revenge. Then one day, Pterano was flying high above the Mysterious Beyond and all of a sudden he spots a blue flyer being chased by a sharptooth. Seeing this as another chance to redeem himself, he goes in to save him by distracting the sharptooth and leading him into a forest where he knew that he could find lots of vines hanging on the trees. He found those vines very useful as he waited for the sharptooth to draw near.
With the vine in his beak, he dives for the sharptooth, aiming for its legs and tying them with the vine then he flew up to the sharptooth's jaws and very carefully tied them shut. Thus, the sharptooth fell over onto the ground with nothing but the tiny hands to break his fall. Devon is amazed by this, for this was something he has never seen before. A flyer taking on a sharptooth? And winning? That was just impossible! Or was it...? :blink:
Speaking of using vines to kick sharptooth butt, before the earthquake happened in the first movie, Pterano was flying up high like usual as he watched over his sister and his newborn nephews and nieces. But then he spotted a sharptooth heading for a very curious baby Petrie looking at the treestars. So he dives for the sharptooth, waiting in the trees. When the sharptooth draws near, he took the vine and did the same thing he did in order to save Devon.
But things aren't always what they seem. This so-called "sharptooth" just happened to be Mr. Threehorn, looking for his daughter, Cera, who was lurking in the trees, giggling at the sight. Of course Mr. Threehorn is mad at Pterano for humiliating him in front of his daughter. And Pterano apologizes, concluded with the fact that Mr. Threehorn "looked so much like a sharptooth from up there..."
Jokes all on Pterano and Mr. Threehorn.
Poor Mr. Threehorn, getting his butt kicked by Pterano...
