- "I will try ... for Orchid."
- — Mangrove to Glory about saving the captured RainWings, The Hidden Kingdom
Mangrove is an adult male RainWing who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom. He and his partner Orchid currently reside in the Rainforest Kingdom, where they work as fruit gatherers. He is one of Queen Glory's most trusted dragons.
Description
When not displaying a particular emotion, Mangrove's scales usually appear to be a shade of dark purple.[1]
Personality
Unlike the average RainWing, Mangrove is shown to be rather alert, irritable, and perceptive — he is attentive enough to notice the disappearance of members of his tribe whilst the other RainWings did not.[2] He was as cheerful as the other RainWings before Orchid disappeared. It was stated that he was grumpier than most other RainWings, mainly because he never had as much suntime after Orchid disappeared, as he spent most of his time worrying about her.[3] He is impatient when it comes to finding his loved ones, as he ran away by himself into the tunnel to the Kingdom of Sand, to try and find Orchid.[4] Glory stated that he was not the type of dragon to give up easily.[5]

After Orchid went missing, Mangrove was heartbroken and quite determined to find her. He stood in line at Queen Magnificent's pavilion every day, waiting for his turn to tell the queen about the disappearances, though she always ignored him, suggesting that she was taking a long nap. Because of this, he often missed large portions of his suntime and was grouchier than usual, similar to Glory. He reluctantly allowed Glory as an audience with his discussion with Magnificent, where he expressed his problem yet again. When it became apparent to everyone that Queen Magnificent did not intend to do anything about it, he volunteered to help Glory in looking for the "rainforest monster" after she suggested Bromeliad and Mangrove should have their audience with the queen together.

Starflight and Glory led an attack on the NightWings through the tunnel. They rescued Splendor, Orchid, the rest of the missing RainWings, and Deathbringer. Mangrove and Orchid reunited by locking tails, glowing pink with happiness. Mangrove introduced Orchid to Glory, who was immensely grateful to their new queen. Orchid mentioned that she felt a rumbling in the earth, and Mangrove replied that it was like "all the happiness in us is trying to burst out." After that, he went off with Orchid back to the Rainforest Kingdom. |

Mangrove and Jambu disguised themselves as IceWings to send a message to Blaze, asking her to attend the meeting at Burn's stronghold. He and Jambu later told Glory that Blaze was not coming, and Mangrove stated that it was because they knew that Burn and Blister could both easily kill Blaze. When Queen Glory visited Burn's stronghold to finally end the war, Mangrove and Grandeur were left in charge of the Rainforest Kingdom and the RainWings. |
Relationships
Mangrove suggested that Glory should be the one to search for the missing dragons as she seemed to have useful questions.[2] Upon becoming a worthy queen, Mangrove has a higher opinion of her and named her as the reason they were able to save the missing RainWings.[6] The two are also on good terms and are trusting of each other, given the fact Glory chose him (alongside Grandeur) to run the kingdom when she was at the peace summit.
Orchid is Mangrove's partner, and he is very loving of her. After her disappearance, he neglected suntime to search and worry for her. Mangrove often requested the queens to send a search party for her, often to no avail. He described Orchid as "perfection in every scale".[3] He dove into great lengths in order to save her, even stubbornly flying to the freezing north into Princess Blaze's fortress despite Glory's efforts to stop him. Mangrove was willing to use his venom for Orchid's sake.[7] Their reunion was followed by happiness. They returned to the rainforest together soon after.
