The Hollow Tree

It is the 15th episode overall in the series.

Plot
At night, a creature takes Scat's lillyberries and Flapper's nest grass. The kids find a bunch of tracks leading all over the place and decide to follow them. They follow the footrpints to the Hollow Tree. Flapper demands that the creature give their things back. However, the creature gives an eerie moan and the group flees.

That night, the kids leave out a rope trap, hoping to capture the creature. The creature pulls on the rope, taking Scat with it and pulling him into a tree, at which point the rope breaks. Scat finds some fruit that falls from the tree and starts eating it, ignoring the fleeing creature.

Flapper spots the creature and chases it. However, it goes into the Hollow Tree, which Flapper crashes into. Shyler goes into the tree and finds the creature. He says that he went to the tree, fleeing the river to avoid the water hunters that eat landfish like him. He apologizes for taking their food. He says that his name is Dippo.

Dippo says that he doesn't want anyone to see him because he's a landfish and dinosaurs always think that he is ugly. Flapper then arrives and calls Dippo ugly. Flapper's meanness causes Dippo to cry.

Crusty said that landfish have often been unjustly made fun of. Shyler is worried as a storm is coming and Dippo seems sick. The others hide from the storm in Crusty's cave, but Shyler, knowing that landfish can't live long on land, goes back to Dippo.

Shyler climbs Dippo's tree but falls; he is caught by Dippo. Flapper saves Shyler and then lightning knocks over Dippo's tree. The kids resscue Dippo and return him to the water. They say that they are Dippo's friend and Amber calls him great for saving Shyler.
