* A marsh is a land form in which grass grows on soil that is typically very muddy, watery, and wet.
* In ''Moon Rising'', he is clawmates with Coconut. Qibli found it fitting that the most nervous of dragons was paired with the most docile. According to Qibli, no one could be scared of Coconut.
* He is shown to have anxiety and possibly PTSD from watching his sister, Crane, die in front of him.
