Barney the Dinosaur

Barney the Dinosaur is a dinosaur from the Barney series that appears "The Toronto Raptors Special" as the main antagonist. He is revealed to be SpaceGodzilla in disguise.

Creation
Barney the Dinosaur was created by Sheryl Leach in 1987. Contrary to popular belief, Barney actually debuted in Barney and The Backyard Gang in 1988 as a direct-to-video series. Barney however, didn't get well known until the popular children's series, Barney and Friends. One of the reasons why Barney is well known is the show does not really teach about issues in life. Instead, it was about Barney and the kids going on adventures. This aspect of the show has been criticized by a lot of people due to Barney running on PBS, the same network that airs Sesame Street, which taught kids about letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and issues that people commonly face. Another reason why Barney is well known is because of the "I Love You" song, which has been used in almost every episode in the series.

In Workin' Stiff and Friends, Barney's only appearance (so far) is in the episode, "The Toronto Raptors Special". This is due to a common joke that is made about the Toronto Raptors basketball team in the NBA that says that the team's name is based on Barney, not Jurassic Park.

Role in Workin' Stiff and Friends"
In the episode, "The Toronto Raptors Special", the original Barney used to own the Raptors team until he retired and turned back into a Barney plush. This makes BugGuy, the owner of Company Industries, want to reincarnate SpaceGodzilla, a monster who has died in 1994. He gives SpaceGodzilla a Barney costume and the Eggmobile from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. After the Hero Squad defeats Barney, they unmask him and he is revealed to be SpaceGodzilla in disguise.
