Dinosaurs

Barney

Barney T. Dinosaur (or simply just Barney) is a two hundred million year old purple dinosaur, who comes to life through a child's imagination. He is best known for his friendly, optimistic (and even generous) personality and his positive attitude. His theme song is the "Barney Theme Song" (or "Barney Is A Dinosaur" to the tune of "Yankee Doodle"). His other well known song is "I Love You," which has been parodied by many people and the tune is sung slowly to "This Old Man". Barney likes most kinds of food, but his favorite is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, presumably with pumpernickel bread, which is his favourite bread. According to Barney's Campfire Sing-Along, veggies are also a favorite of his.

Baby Bop

Baby Bop (referred as Sissy by B.J. and Baby Boppity Bop by Riff) is a green dinosaur. The name was given from "Mr. Knickerbocker" by Barney and his Backyard Gang in Barney in Concert. She carries a yellow blanket, and sings the songs "My Yellow Blankey" and "Look At Me! I'm Three!". She currently refers to herself as 3 years old. She likes to eat macaroni and cheese and pizza. She wears a pink bow on her head and pink shoes on her feet. She is also referred to as "BeeBop" in the show when she raps. This idea was created by one of the earlier producers, Kaitlin Craig.

B.J.

B.J. is a yellow protoceratops and he has been on the show since season 2. His theme song is "B.J.'s Song". He wears a red baseball cap on his head and red sneakers on his feet (as heard in the lyrics of his theme). He has lost his hat in the episode Hats Off to B.J.! and sometimes says stuff to hide how he felt at the moment (like in Barney's Halloween Party, he was shocked by the paper spiders and after learning they were fake, he says "I knew that, sorta.") Pickles are his favorite food and because of that, he actually has had them in different ways like pickles (also with pepperoni, peppers, pineapple and peanut butter) on a pizza in Barney's Adventure Bus.

Riff

Riff (referred as Cousin Riff by Baby Bop) is an orange six year old hadrosaur, who is Baby Bop and BJ's cousin. He has appeared since the 2006 season. He wears green sneakers. His theme is "I Hear Music Everywhere." Riff loves music and it's in almost everything he does. In Barney - Let's Go to the Firehouse, it was revealed that Riff also likes to invent things and he created a 4 sound smoke detector (the first 3 were different smoke alarm sounds, the final one was his own voice).
