Riff as he appears in the show.

Riff is a six-year-old orange Hadrosaurus^[1] who is Baby Bop and BJ's cousin and a friend of Barney's.

Personality

Riff is all about music. He hears music everywhere he goes, which ties directly into his theme song "I Hear Music Everywhere". Like the other dinosaurs, he is an amicable character, though can also be rather shy and doubtful of himself, often needing encouragement from his friends. Riff also enjoys inventing things on the side.

Creation

According to HIT Entertainment and executive producer Karen Barnes, Riff was created to add musical diversity to the series.^[2] Additionally, his creation was supposed to aid in bringing the show to a wider British audience.
