Prickle is the series' tritagonist and is a yellow dinosaur and/or dragon, possibly a Plateosaurus, with sharp white spines. He speaks with a Midwestern accent. He is one of Gumby's friends and is generally voiced by series creator Art Clokey (though in the late 1960s episodes, the role alternated between Clokey, Hal Smith, and occasionally Dallas McKennon). Although a secondary or tertiary character in many shorts, some of the shorts have featured Prickle as the leading character.

He is also made an enemy in Dr. Zveegee, not out of spite, but the fact he is a living dinosaur. The evil professor attempts to capture Prickle in an attempt to achieve fame.

In the 1980s Gumby Adventures series, as part of The Gumbys band, Prickle alternates in playing the bass guitar and saxophone. He is also fond of playing detective when called upon to find someone or something, complete with Sherlock Holmes-esque deerstalker hat and magnifying glass.
