Role An Archelon by the name of Archie is one of the two heroic non-dinosaurian characters helping the dinosaur characters Littlefoot, Ducky, Ali, Cera, Petrie, and Spike evade the Deinosuchus Dil and the Ichthyornis Ichy in the fourth installment of The Land Before Time series, Journey Through The Mists.
Inaccuracies Archie the Archelon in The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists lives in a cave, unlike a real Archelon, which spent most of its life out at sea, occasionally coming onto shore to either rest or lay eggs. However, there are pools of water for him to hide in, and in one scene in Journey Through The Mists, Archie hides in one of the pools of water in the cave when Ichy the Ichthyornis and Dil the Deinosuchus hunt Littlefoot the Apatosaurus. He is also depicted as being able to hide in his shell, something which a real Archelon did not do. Archie is also temporarily misplaced, as Archelon lived in a similar time span to that of Ichthyornis.
