Chomper (The Land Before Time)

Chomper (a.k.a. "Eager Chomper", as he is called on the official website, and by fans), originally voiced by Rob Paulsen, later Cannon Young, and now Max Burkholder, is a character in the The Land Before Time films and TV series. He is a friendly purple Tyrannosaurus, which is one of many species of carnivorous dinosaurs called "sharpteeth" in the Land Before Time series. He first appeared in The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure, when he was hatched by Littlefoot. Being raised by them for the first day of his life has led him to be friendly with herbivorous dinosaurs, although they do not always trust him. But his friends still like him anyway. He is bilingual, being able to speak both the herbivore language of the plant-eating dinosaurs (heard as English to the viewer), and the "Sharptooth" language of the carnivorous dinosaurs, which seems to consist of grunts, roars, and clicks, which makes him quite useful in solving disputes between the herbivores and carnivores.

Chomper was so well-received by the fans and critics of the series that he was brought back as a supporting character in The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island, and re-introduced as a main character in the television series.

Chomper is very kind and outgoing. He tends to be somewhat naive at times. He always pleases his friends as best as he can. He also loves eating bees, which are called stinging buzzers in dinosaur talk.

The young purple sharptooth loves Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Ruby, and Spike and he always wants to be with them.
