'''Squid''' is an adult male [[SeaWing]] who was introduced in [[The Hidden Kingdom (book)|''The Hidden Kingdom'']]. He was a member of the [[Talons of Peace#The False Dragonets|false dragonets of destiny]] as a replacement for [[Tsunami]], and is currently a member of the [[Talons of Peace]]. He is the son of [[Nautilus]], who was formerly the leader of the Talons of Peace.


==Personality==
== Description ==
Squid is obsessed with treasure and gold, even more than fame and peace, and claims that all of the Talons are 'lame' because none of them gave him treasure. He considers [[Ochre]], [[Viper]], and [[Flame]] to be bullies, and [[Fatespeaker]] to be insane. In addition, he often tries to lord it over the others that his father is the leader of the Talons of Peace, although this only annoys the false dragonets and usually leads to them attacking him. [[File:DSCF3371.jpg|thumb|Squid talking to Morrowseer]]                         
Squid has emerald-green scales{{Ref|TDS|71}} and green wings.{{Ref|TDS|87}} He is rather small, barely the size of a three-year-old dragonet.{{Ref|THKp}} He is much scrawnier than [[Winter]]{{Ref|WT|139}} and smaller than [[Riptide]].{{Ref|WT|140}}


He is shown to be cowardly and childish when it comes to real work. He believes he is much too important, being the son of the leader of the Talons of Peace, to interact appropriately. He is confused and upset when[[ Morrowseer]] sends him away, saying that his father is the leader of the Talons, and that everyone had to treat him nicely.
== Personality ==
Squid is obsessed with treasure, gold, and jewels, even more than fame and peace.{{Ref|THKp}} He is frequently whiny, as he believes he is famous and gets irritable when he is not treated like it. He often thinks very highly of himself, due to him being both the son of the leader of the Talons of Peace and a [[Dragons|dragonet]] of destiny.{{Ref|THKp}} As such, he often tries to lord this fact over the other false dragonets, despite being often met with backlash. When [[Morrowseer]] called him small, he claimed that he "has a big personality", like he had been told that enough times for everyone to know it was true.{{Ref|THKp}} He is shown to be cowardly and childish when it comes to real work.

When Morrowseer suggested letting him be a dragonet of destiny, Squid accepted with the promise of treasure. He then ran off to tell the others how important he was.

Squid claimed that he told Fatespeaker not to wander off and he hoped that Morrowseer punished her. When the idea of replacing Fatespeaker was introduced, he asked to be the one to "push her off a cliff."

When Starflight attempted to persuade the SkyWing guards to change their allegiance to Blister, Squid was immediately recognized as a fraud, as he was green and male, and the soldiers had seen Tsunami in The Dragonet Prophecy, who was blue and female.
