I think supernatural here is meant to be paranormal. Sharptooth has a supernatural (demonic) presence but he is physical Tyrannosaurus. Unlike subsequent Sharpteeth, Sharptooth possesss an invidious presence that caused your hair to stand up on back of your neck. I read somewhere Stephen Spielberg saw Sharptooth as Satan, Littlefoot as Moses, The Treestar as the Star of David, and The Great Valley as The Promised Land.
For me, there is also some Christian symbolism, Sharptooth is drowned in water which denotes Baptism is water, Satan’s power broken when a person becomes a Christian and is baptized in water (Acts 19:1-21), out of Jesus’ side as He died fod sins was blood and water (John 19:34), and that Jesus is the Living Water (John 7:37-39) that Sharptooth sinks in. In addition, the Gang uses a giant Rock to sink Sharp tooth which alludes to Christ being Cornerstone (Ephensians 2:19-22), and the rock upon which a house stands (Matthew 7:24-27). The fact that the Gang is Five could denote the Five wounds of Christ, the wounds that defeated Satan and Sin, in this case Sharptooth.
