The Terrible Thunderlizards is an animated segment that aired in the United States as part of Eek! Stravaganza on the Fox Kids programming block, and in Canada on YTV. It aired from November 20, 1993, to July 28, 1997. The series was originally intended as a spin-off from Eek! The Cat. The segment was supposed to air at the start of Eek's second season in September 1993, but due to production delays, it began in November. Like Eek!, the segment was also a co-production of Nelvana and Fox Kids in association with Savage Studios Ltd. Dee Snider, of the band Twisted Sister, composed the show's theme song.

Ownership of the series passed to Disney in 2001 when Disney acquired Fox Kids Worldwide.
