Petrie's imaginary friend is a short, nice, friendly Sharptooth who appears in The Land Before Time IX: Journey to Big Water. He bears a resemblance to the series' Tyrannosaurus, though he is much more heavily stylized than the others in the series.

Also appearing in Journey to Big Water during the "Imaginary Friend" musical number are four other imaginary creatures. One is large, blue and purple with yellow spots and a purple frill, one is long, teal, and has several limbs, one is a purple biped with bright pink, Stegosaurus-like back plates, and the last is a yellow, long-legged winged creature.

Which imaginary friends correspond to who of the other four members of the main group is unknown.
