- Cera is a young, hot-tempered three-horned lady ( Triceratops ) and a good friend of Littlefoot and a member of his clique. She often gets herself and her friends into trouble because of her overconfidence and impetuosity.
- Petrie is a young male aviator ( Pteranodon ) and good friend of Littlefoot and a member of his group. He speaks with a distinctive grammatical mistake. For example, he says “I have flown ” instead of “I have flown” or “Have I flown?” .
- Ducky is a young white-mouthed female swimmer ( Saurolophus ) and a good friend of Littlefoot and a member of his group.

- Spike is a young male Stegosaurus and a good friend of Littlefoot and a member of his clique. It hatched very late from its egg and developed a bit late overall. He is also the only one in the young dinosaur group who cannot express himself verbally.
- Chomper is a young male sharp tooth ( Tyrannosaurus rex ) who is also a member of Littlefoot's group. It is the only carnivore in the group, but it feeds on insects and therefore poses no threat to its herbivorous friends.
