Dorothy the Dinosaur is a major character in The Wiggles (TV Series 1), one of the six tritagonists of The Wiggles (TV Series 2), a supporting character in all Wiggles videos, the main protagonist of The Wiggles Movie and a major character in the rest of the TV seasons. She is one of The Wiggles' most popular characters, to the extent where she was given her own TV series.
Dorothy is a "rosasaur" (a dinosaur who eats roses), coloured green with bright yellow spots, as well as usually wearing a white, floppy hat.
She loves singing with children, eating roses and dancing ballet. She also loves eating roses and making rosy tea. She lives in a pink and purple house with a rose garden in her backyard.
Dorothy was the first Wiggles character to be created. She was introduced in 1991, first appearing in her self-titled song. Murray Cook was inspired to create her because many of the kids he was teaching in his preschool class liked dinosaurs. Murray was also the first to voice Dorothy.
The song Dorothy's Birthday Party reveals the date of her birthday as November 3. According to Yummy Yummy, her favourite colour is pink.
