The Great Potato

The Great Potato is temporarily adopted as Pangaea's deity in the Dinosaurs episode "The Greatest Story Ever Sold." The Great Potato is an all-knowing, omnipotent, starchy tuber who purportedly created all dinosaurs like him, with eyes and full of potassium.

When the dinosaur population becomes racked by theological doubts and fears, the government convenes to select a belief system. Following the reactions of Earl Sinclair and Baby Sinclair, they adopt "Potatoism," an ideology which requires faith in the Great Potato as creator of the universe and provider of nutrition to all.
