The Swimming Sharptooth is the secondary antagonist in The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island.
Biography[]
The Swimming Sharptooth approaches Littlefoot and his friends and then knocked off the log with his tail. He rises above Cera and shows off his teeth while flings her off and attempts to eat her. He chases Littlefoot and his friends by turning their log boat around with his tail.
He continues to swim and chase the gang as Petrie nervously watches him get closer. He emerges and bites parts of the log off before the Swimming Sharptooth can eat them alive, they smash into a ground spike coming out of the water and the gang are thrown back on the Mysterious Island. He is shown going back underwater in the background.
During the climax of the film, he made a quick cameo appearance after the gang are cornered at the edge of a cliff by the Plated Sharptooth. Petrie points out that the Swimming Sharptooth is in the water.
Appearance[]
The Swimming Sharptooth resembles a generic shark or a great white. similar to what Jaws was like, intentionally attacking creatures that a normal shark usually would not prey on.
Trivia[]
- This is the only major non-reptilian sharptooth to appear in the films, as sharks are fish.
- The shark is one of the few Sharpteeth that aren't voiced by Frank Welker, since sharks and fish lack vocal organs.
- The shark's theme music, "Swimming Sharptooth", is similar to theme of the famous fictional great white shark tale, Jaws.
- The theme has since been reused in later movies, and is even used in the most recent film, when the gang is being chased by a pair of Featherhead Sharpteeth.
