Walking with Dinosaurs
Scowler is first seen in the film as a young hatchling with his other siblings eating food that their mother has given them but refuses to share it with his smaller brother Patchi who finds a small part of food near the nest and eats that but is taken by a Troodon but is saved by his father Bulldust and is left with a hole in his frill and is put back in the nest with Scowler and the other hatchlings.
Sometime later, Scowler is seen joining Patchi and Bulldust knocking down trees, Scowler easily does this, but Patchi has difficulty which causes Scowler to ask his father if they are from the same litter. Scowler later practices head butting with Patchi, but gives up after Patchi fails miserably. He is later seen migrating with his family and the rest of their herd. Suddenly a fire starts and the herd try to get to safety. but they are attacked by a pack of Gorgosaurus. Scowler and Patchi are sepreated from the herd and are chased by the the Gorgosaurus leader Gorgon, but are saved by Bulldust who dies fighting the creature whilst their mother and siblings are killed by other members of the pack. After this the two brothers rejoin their herd now led by another Patchyrhinosaurus named Major, but the herd is attacked again and the brothers along with Patchi's friend Juniper fall into a river and are once again separated from the herd. The trio end up washed ashore on a beach where a herd of Edmontosaurus are walking by to which Scowler joins them, whilst Patchi stays behind to care for Juniper who had hurt her leg but they eventually catch up with Scowler and the rest of the herd.
Years later an now adult Scowler fights with Major in a duel and won the leadership of the herd. He then took Juniper as his mate, much to Patchi's dismay who also had feelings for her. He then foolishly leads the herd over a frozen lake in the middle of spring. As the ice breaks, Scowler and some of the males make it to the other side of the lake while watching Patchi angrily as he takes the rest of the herd and Juniper around the lake to avoid death.
Later, Scowler confronts Patchi and accuses him of attempting to take over the herd and take Juniper from him. He then battles Patchi and wins before disowning him as his brother and a member of the herd and leaves with the herd and has Juniper leave too, despite her wishes to help Patchi. Scowler is last seen battling Gorgon and his two Gorgosaurus. When becoming overpowered, he tells Patchi to take the herd, and was on the brink of death, was saved when Patchi and the herd came to his rescue. At the end Scowler apologised to Patchi for being such a jerk to him and allows Patchi to be the new leader of the herd and also allows for him to be with Juniper. He became the uncle of Patchi and Juniper's offspring.
