'''King Humpback''' was the [[SeaWings|SeaWing]] King in the timeline of ''[[Darkstalker (Legends)]]'', and the husband of [[Queen Lagoon]]. He was killed in the Royal SeaWing Massacre, when [[Albatross]] went mad and killed nearly his entire family. He was described to have a creaky old voice by [[Fathom]] and often commented on how things were back when he was a [[Dragonets|dragonet]]. [[Queen Pearl|Pearl]] seems to think he's annoying telling his old stories.
