"Well, I wasn't going to eat it. We are on an island. I think someone should be able to bring me a fresh fish, considering who my father is and the fact that I'm a dragonet of destiny. I mean, really."
— Squid to Ochre on eating the NightWing carrion, The Hidden Kingdom

Squid is an adult male SeaWing who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom. He was a member of the 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.

Description

Squid has emerald-green scales[1] and green wings.[2] He is rather small, barely the size of a three-year-old dragonet.[3] He is much scrawnier than Winter[4] and smaller than Riptide.[5]

Personality

Squid is obsessed with treasure, gold, and jewels, even more than fame and peace.[3] 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 dragonet of destiny.[3] 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.[3] He is shown to be cowardly and childish when it comes to real work.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Lost Heir
Squid was mentioned indirectly when Morrowseer had Nautilus explain to Blister that they had a set of alternate dragonets.
The Hidden Kingdom

In the prologue, Squid was being beaten up in a practice fight with the other false dragonets. Nautilus brought him over with him when he spoke to Morrowseer, so the others would not bite him. He was then revealed to be Nautilus' son. He said that the others were mean and bullied him, except for Fatespeaker, though he thought she was weird. 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.

In the epilogue, he was in the Night Kingdom, missing his father and wondering why he had let them take him away. When Fatespeaker saw a "vision" regarding a walrus, Squid was shown to be rather irritated, throwing a leftover bone from Ochre's dinner at her.
The Dark Secret

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." He attempted to kill Starflight on Morrowseer's command but was scared off by some NightWing guards.

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. After the NightWings killed the seventeen SkyWings, Squid decided that he wanted to "quit being a dragonet of destiny." In response, Morrowseer exiled him and Starflight privately thought that a SeaWing in SkyWing territory would not last a day. Fatespeaker felt horrible when he left.

In the epilogue, it was shown that a spy for the Talons of Peace "by some miracle" found him before the SkyWings, and ushered him to his father. Squid stated to his father and Blister that he hates NightWings.
The Brightest Night
Squid was mentioned by Nautilus as being found in the Claws of the Clouds Mountains by one of the Talons of Peace's spies.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Winter Turning
Squid was practicing his stealth approach at the Talons of Peace hideout. He startled Winter, who then threatened to rip off his tail and beat him with it. He was then sent away by Riptide for sneaking up on the guests and disobeying his orders, and flew off, muttering and whining about how his father used to be leader of the Talons of Peace but not anymore.
