Spike, the spike-tail (Stegosaurus), is a friend of Littlefoot in The Land Before Time film series. He is the 'mute' of the group, in that he almost never speaks. However, as his foster sister, Ducky says in The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists he can indeed speak though only when he wants to, though the only time has has truly "spoken" in the series is when Ducky is almost eaten and he shouts her name out.

When Spike was an egg, he was separated from his real parents. He was adopted as a brother by Ducky, a young swimmer (Parasaurolophus) and readily accepted by her parents and siblings as part of the family. This is despite the fact that most dinosaurs tend to show prejudice towards others not part of their species. Spike has a big appetite, constantly eating plants that are in his sight (including the plants that surrounded the nest he hatched in). In The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island, when he and his friends first arrived at the Big Water, he actually swallowed some water that entered his mouth despite (for us) the fact that seawater tastes very salty. He drank salty water again (twice) in The Land Before Time IX: Journey to Big Water.

In The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure, his design was modified; he no longer had any small spikes on his tail. This is presumably to make him easier for the animators to draw, but compared to Cera's modification, Spike's isn't as drastic.

Voice of Spike

In the original Land Before Time Spike is heard laughing after the gang saves Cera from attacking Pachycephalosauruses. It is unknown who actually provided his laugh; the voice actor was never credited. Spike was voiced by Rob Paulsen from the second film on, but he hardly said any dialogue at all. Also, Jeff Bennett, the voice of Petrie, replaced Rob Paulsen for the voice of Spike in The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock (according to the end credits).
