'''Squid''' is a green [[Seawing|SeaWing]], a [[False Dragonets|false dragonet]] of destiny, [[Morrowseer]]'s replacement for [[Tsunami]], and the son of [[Nautilus]], one of the leaders of the Talons of Peace. His mother is in the [[Talons of Peace]]. Although he is smaller than other SeaWings, his intense personality makes up for what he lacks in stature. The other false dragonets (except for [[Fatespeaker]]) enjoy beating him up, setting him on fire, and biting him. He is unaware that he is a false dragonet of destiny, as well as the fact that Ochre, Flame, Viper, and Fatespeaker are, and believes that he is the true SeaWing dragonet of the prophecy until Starflight arrives.

==Personality==
 
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 own any 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 them and usually lead to them attacking him.

'''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.


In the Epilogue, he is in the [[NightWings|NightWing Kingdom]], missing his father and wondering why he let them take him away. When Fatespeaker "sees" a vision, Squid is shown to be angry.
