Sharptooth is the main villain of the first film. He kills Littlefoot's mother but falls down the great divide near the start. After Cera wakes him up he follows the gang for the rest of the movie (possibly to get revenge for an eye injury) but is finally killed in the climax when they knock him into a lake with a boulder.

The Meanest Sharptooth
The Meanest Sharptooth was the meanest and most ferocious Sharptooth ever. In legend it attacked the great valley but the lone dinosaur appeared and defeated him. The legend says that the ring of teeth around Saurus Rock's neck came from this Sharptooth. This creature's ghost might be the dinosaur that fought alongside the Allosaurus. Also it might be the sharptooth from the first movie (the Original Sharptooth) somehow or the Original Sharptooth's brother (since he is the same color as the Original Sharptooth despite having two functional eyes).

Eighth Movie Sharptooth
This sharptooth appeared in the Land Before Time VIII. It attacked twice, the first time being knocked out by a giant snowball and the second falling off a cliff after being hit by a log. Some think it was an Albertosaurus.

These three sharpteeth (Tyrannosaurus trio) appeared in the Land Before Time X. A male gray sharptooth appeared living near the swamp. The gang (minus Littlefoot) thought it was a boulder and slept next to it. In the morning it chased them. Later a male orange-brown Sharptooth attacks near the crater just after Petrie comes. The gray one (possibly the same one as from the swamp) and a female green one. The gang (and Shorty), Bron, Littlefoot's grandparents and Pat fight them but they run away when the eclipse happens.
