Premise

Based on the bestselling book by Jonny Duddle and publisher Templar, the series follows four curious young dinosaur friends named Rocky, Bill, Tiny, and Mazu as they go on adventures and learn about the titular dinosaur from the book the series is based on, the biggest, fiercest dinosaur of all: Gigantosaurus.[5]

Characters

Main

  • Gigantosaurus/Giganto (voiced by Vincent Tong)[6] is the titular character, a huge Giganotosaurus. Despite his seemingly vicious personality, he often aids the four little dinosaurs in their adventures. Giganto mainly communicates with growls and roars, but in "Goodbye, Giganto! Part 2", the friends discover he can speak.
  • Rocky (voiced by Dylan Schombing)[5] is a spunky young Parasaurolophus. He is initially unable to say the names of dinosaur species correctly, especially his own kind, but that issue is fixed in "The Singing Chef". His crest can be used as a traffic horn.
  • Bill (voiced by Nicholas Holmes) is a timid young Brachiosaurus who likes to eat.
  • Tiny (voiced by Áine Sunderland) is a playful young Triceratops who likes to draw pictures and tell jokes.
  • Mazu (voiced by Nahanni Mitchell) is an inquisitive young Ankylosaurus who likes to study and build things.

Supporting

  • Hegan (voiced by Heather Doerksen) is a clumsy Pteranodon.
  • Trey (voiced by Vincent Tong) is a teen Triceratops who is Tiny's older brother.
  • Archie (voiced by Brad Swaile) is a flightless Archaeopteryx.
  • Rugo (voiced by Asia Mattu) is a Rugosodon with a big appetite and multiple eponymous cousins, as well as an odd one out named Larry, who can chew through rock.
  • Ignatius (voiced by Adam Kirschner) is an unusually large Compsognathus.
  • Ayati (voiced by Joanne Willson) is a 200-year-old (as of "Ayati's Big Birthday") Brachiosaurus.
  • Dilo (voiced by Brad Swaile) is a Dilophosaurus with a mischievous sense of humor.
  • Marsh (voiced by Benjamin Jacobson) is a young Stegosaurus. He is the only young dinosaur who walks on all fours. Despite being younger than the main characters, he is as big as the adults of his species. While most of the characters find stinky flowers repulsive, Marsh finds the smell pleasant.
  • Patchy (voiced by Michael Daingerfield) is a Pachycephalosaurus with poor eyesight, and short arms that cannot reach his head.
  • Dragonfly is a Meganeura who is friends with Mazu.
  • Weird Fish are a school of Eusthenopteron who are friends with Bill.
  • Dino Bees are a swarm of honeybees.
  • Leon (voiced by Brenden Sunderland) is an Archelon who appears in Seasons 2 & 3.
  • Plink, Plonk & Plunk (voiced by Caitlyn Bairstow, Tabitha St. Germain and Andrea Libman, respectively) are three friendly Ichthyosaurus that live in the lake. The purple-marked Plink is very athletic, the blue-marked Plonk is very creative and the green-marked Plunk is very smart. They appear in Seasons 2 & 3.
  • Rolo (voiced by Asia Mattu) is a baby Parasaurolophus who is Rocky's baby cousin who appears in Seasons 2 & 3 following his debut appearance in "The Lost Egg".
  • Lena is a baby Brachiosaurus who is Bill's baby sister. She appears in Seasons 2 & 3.
  • Tori is a baby Triceratops who is Trey and Tiny's baby sister. She appears in Seasons 2 & 3.
  • Zack is a baby Ankylosaurus who is Mazu's baby brother. He appears in Seasons 2 & 3.
  • Pride & Joy are Baby Pteranodons who are Hegan's children. Pride is the purple boy and Joy is the pink girl. They first appear in the Season 3 episode, "Adventures In Egg-Sitting". Although Joy was born first, Pride always gets top billing.
  • Missy (voiced by Cathy Weseluck) An eccentric Incisivosaurus who first appears in the Season 3 episode, "The Tooth Fairy".

Antagonists

  • Cror & Totor (voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent and Samuel Vincent, respectively) are a pair of Velociraptor siblings who like to pick on the other characters. Cror is the smarter and stingier green female, while Totor is the more dimwitted and incompetent red male.
  • Termy (voiced by Jennifer Cameron) is a villainous Terminonatator who owns the residents' lake. She often tries to take over the savannah. Mistaken for a Plesiosaurus.
  • T-Rex (voiced by Alessandro Juliani) is a mean Tyrannosaurus rex who likes to show off, and thinks he's better than Giganto. He first appears in the Season 2 episode, "A New Best T".
  • Spino — A massive, villainous Spinosaurus who is intent on terrorizing. First appears in the Season 2 episodes, "A New Big Guy" & "Battle of the Titans".
  • Scorpion is a Pulmonoscorpius. They often appear in Season 1, then once in Season 2 and twice in Season 3.
