The following is a list of the villains in The Land Before Time franchise.
Sharpteeth
- Main article: Sharptooth
"Sharptooth" is the term in the series used to describe predators; though most are simply hungry animals looking for food (and do not fall under the umbrella of proper villains as a result), there are a select few sharpteeth that qualify as proper villains.
Sharptooth
- Main article: Sharptooth (character)
In the film, Sharptooth is a normal animal who attacks the main characters out of hunger, and does not qualify as a villain as a result; in The Land Before Time: The Illustrated Story, however, he is portrayed as an evil, vain character, his motivation for hunting down the children lying in his desire to get back at Littlefoot for damaging his eye. Even beyond his desire for revenge, The Illustrated Story describes how he attacks the children with "evil glee" in his first encounter with Littlefoot and Cera, and that, when he nears the Great Valley in the kids' last fight against the tyrannosaur, he sniffs the air "with evil joy" as he finds the valley's entrance.
Red Claw
- Main article: Red Claw
Red Claw is a villainous male Tyrannosaurus rex (Sharptooth) who has a distinctive scar that goes through his left eye, down to his left hand and claw. Land of the Lost had a Tyrannosaurus that was similar to Red Claw, named Scarface, who had a big scar down the right side of his face. Red Claw is the prominent antagonist in the TV series. According to Chomper and Ruby, Red Claw is the biggest and meanest Sharptooth of all. Voiced by Pete Sepenuk.
