Ducky and Spike's Siblings
Main Article: Ducky and Spike's Siblings

There are at least fourteen young swimmers (male and female). Although they look much like Ducky, they lack her sense of adventure, preferring to stay at home with their Mother. Ever since Ducky introduced them to "our new brother, Spike" at the close of the first film, all the swimmers have happily accepted him as part of the family, even if they do not understand him as well as Ducky does. The total fourteen came in two clutches, as in the first film; Ducky's nest contained about half a dozen eggs. Later, in the Great Valley Adventure, Ducky's parents are shown to have another nest, with about another half dozen or so. The film ended with the new clutch hatching.

Chomper's Parents
Main Articles: Chomper's Mother and Chomper's Father

These figures have only appeared in and. They are both green in color, but the mother and father are distinguished by exact shade, with the father being much darker (this may reflect a gender difference). Although they are ferocious predators like other Sharpteeth, they are also devoted parents. It is suggested in the series that they requested Ruby to be some sort of babysitter for Chomper. Both Ruby and Chomper were separated from their families by Red Claw and his minions; so far they have yet to reunite.

Chomper's parents are antagonists in the second movie, but become friendly towards the main characters at the end of the fifth film, after Littlefoot saves their son.

The two care about Chomper very much, and are shown to have worrisome, even overprotective, natures over their little hatchling.

Chomper's dad is shown to be possessed of a healthy, if warped/carnivorous, sense of humor. He worries about his son's strange habit of gathering plants; something no sharptooth would ever willingly ingest.

Chomper's mom is a kind and devoted mother, willing to help her son learn to be a hunter. This is shown when she comes across Chomper seemingly having cornered a young longneck, but unable to figure out what to do next. She reminds Chomper not to play with his food, and then nuzzles him before leaving her son to his "meal". Overall They are both Caring Parents of Chomper, thought they don't understand him quiet well.

Her mother is pink and her father is indigo. Her father also has an elderly-like voice. Her siblings are magenta and violet. The magenta one is a girl and the violet one is a boy; they are twins.
