Thunderclap (The Good Dinosaur)

Thunderclap is the main antagonist of the Disney/Pixar film, The Good Dinosaur. He is a Nyctosaurus and the leader of a ferocious gang of Pterosaurs.

Official Bio

 * "The Pterodactyls are a search-and-"rescue" team of five. They like to sit back and let the often-treacherous storms in this part of the world do their dirty work, then reap the benefits of the devastation. But when these flying hunter-scavengers set their sights on Spot and Arlo, they’re in for a big surprise."

Personality
According to his introduction to Arlo, Thunderclap used to be frightful of the world around him. This changed when he was caught in a storm which no longer made him afraid. Following this, Thunderclap had a "relevation", realizing that the storm saved his life, therefore he must follow it. The experience made him obsessed with the storm's power, turning him into a sadistic scavenger as he relied more on the animals caught in the storm, gleefully devouring them every time. While he may come across as affable towards dinosaurs at first, Thunderclap is unforgiving towards dinosaurs who help his prey escape, with no qualms towards harming them afterwards. Despite being in a group, he does not consider the other pterodactyls as his friends but rather fellow followers. He will not hesitate to fight them for any meal found. Any meal that manages to escape, he will pursue them relentlessly.

Trivia

 * The other four members of Thunderclap's gang are each a different species: Caulkicephalus, Guidraco, and Ludodactylus.
 * Real Nyctosaurus do not have teeth or wing claws like Thunderclap does.
