Albatross

"Grandson. Hiding like a nervous hermit crab. Interesting choice. One I should have expected, though, from such a little dragonet with such a limited imagination. You may be wondering why you're still alive. Especially when your entire family is dead."

— Albatross to Fathom, during the Royal SeaWing Massacre.

Template:Infobox CharacterAlbatross was an animus male SeaWing, known as a prince and SeaWing hero who lived around two thousand years ago. He was described to look rather like a seagull, with blueish-grey scales that looked almost white in places and eyes so dark they were nearly black and long wings. Albatross has the same hatching day as his sister, Queen Lagoon, but is nearly a neck taller. He was one of the first known animus dragons. He was part of the SeaWing Royal Family and died after overusing his animus abilities and ultimately going insane. Once beloved, he slaughtered nine dragons using a knife, including his sister Queen Lagoon, King Humpback her husband, Splash their daughter, Reef and Manta (Fathom's Parents), Scallop, Eel, Princess Sunset of the SkyWings, and an unknown musician before he was killed when Indigo stabbed him with a spear into his back, not his chest, according to Darkstalker. Before he went insane, Fathom described him as a jovial dragon, playing tricks on his student.

Biography

Pre-Series

Albatross used his animus powers to create the pavilion of the Summer Palace. However, Albatross ended up going insane from his animus curse after overusing his abilities, and attempted to kill everyone. He killed 9 dragons including Queen Lagoon his sister, King Humpback her husband, Splash their daughter, Scallop, Eel, Manta and Reef (Fathom's Parents), Princess Sunset of the SkyWings, and an unknown SeaWing Musician. He was killed when Indigo stabbed him with a spear in his back.

Darkstalker

Albatross is shown, rather reluctantly, testing a group of SeaWing dragonets to see if any of them are animus dragons. While talking to Queen Lagoon, he is hit in the head by Fathom's coconut. He externally seems rather pleased, but strangles a distant seagull with a vine while congratulating him. Later, He is shown taking Fathom to the soon to be built Summer Palace. He reveals that he learnt of his animus powers when Sapphire and Lagoon, his older sisters, were teasing him saying he swam like a feeble duck. Sapphire took his clam shell he was playing with and he suddenly said "Bite her claws! Bite all her claws off!" without thought. In doing so, Sapphire never could become queen and turned insane (much like her brother) and was secluded on an island far from the Sea Kingdom. Fathom had suggested to enchant plants so no one could see the Summer Palace. Indigo revealed she was watching over Fathom, and Albatross then told them both to go back to class.

The Lost Heir

Anemone made references to Albatross several times, saying that she didn't wish to use her animus powers and go insane like him. Unfortunately, Albatross's hard work may have been in vain, considering the Summer Palace was destroyed during this book-at the end- though it was well hidden and had stayed that way prior to it's destruction.

Moon Rising

Albatross is mentioned in the scroll Moon reads to find out about Dreamvisitors. The scroll describes the The Royal SeaWing Massacre, and how his insanity influenced Queen Pearl to ban the use of animus magic on the Sea Kingdom.

Escaping Peril

After Turtle uses his animus power to take the scroll from Shapeshifter, Moon mentions Albatross while asking how Turtle is feeling.
