Rapty

Rapty is Bud Compson's stuffed dinosaur and imaginary friend, first seen in "Based on a True Story." When Bud imagines Rapty as a talking dinosaur, he imagines the toy getting larger and turning into a full-size dinosaur.

He speaks in a somewhat deep voice and provides encouragement to Bud when he's feeling down, but he doesn't always get Bud's jokes.
