Karl Scott is, along with his brother, David, one of the main characters of the Dinotopia miniseries and TV series. Karl is the slightly older brother of the two Scott brothers. The two have different mothers, so this makes them half brothers; although in the TV series they were brothers, not half brothers. Karl is the cocky, egotisical and a bit obnoxious brother. He's also athletic, and a bit of a girl seeker (as stated by David in the series, more like his hit and run victims). Karl thinks he has it all; until he is washed up on Dinotopia. At first Karl is stubborn and headstrong, while wanting nothing more than to leave Dinotopia, however near the end of the mini-series he learns to like Dinotopia.
