Plod

Plod in Camp Kentro.

Plod the diplodocus was a miner who worked for Shanta and is a minor character in The Space Ghosts. She is a gritty female dinosaur who hates cleanliness and neatness, and is somewhat less superstitious than Shanta. Teggs first met her and Shanta in Camp Kentro, where the two explained their trouble with kentrosaurus ghosts on Creepus. Plod then showed the skeptical stegosaurus to his room, where he and Arx met Spink the space ghost for the first time. In the morning. Plod, Herman, and Frank dug a well-preserved Maroon Miner out of the sand. After Teggs accidentally touched dispium and became a ghost, Shanta and his miners, including Plod, decided to leave Creepus for good, although Plod seemed reluctant.

Teggs and Spink were alive, however, and battling General Loki and his pet Kraggle-Scruncher. Iggy fell from the tunnel roof and crushed the monster, and the annoyed Loki set his raptors on the two dinosaurs. Before they could strike, Teggs used his shockwave maker to pull the roof down on the raptor miners. Loki, however, escaped Camp Kentro in a specially prepared raptor death ship. He was fired on by Shanta's diplodocus ship and forced to crash-land. Plod herself later trapped Loki under her foot.
