Bigtail

"This one that I'm eating?"

— Bigtail to Anemone in the Prey Center in Moon Rising.

Template:Charbox Bigtail was a young male NightWing dragonet who attended Jade Mountain Academy in the Gold Winglet. He died tragically along with Carnelian in the dragonflame cactus explosion that took place in the History Cave inside Jade Mountain. This explosion was set off by Sora, a MudWing dragonet, who meant to kill Icicle instead of him and Carnelian. A dragonflame cactus was used to cause the explosion.

History

The Dark Secret

Bigtail is most likely one of the dragonets that were with Starflight when he woke up in the dormitory, although he wasn't mentioned by name.

Moon Rising

While eating in the prey center, Anemone requested the fish that Bigtail was eating, claiming it was her favorite type of fish. Bigtail refused to give it to her, resulting in an argument with Pike, one of Anemone's SeaWing followers. Pike started on how Anemone was the SeaWing princess, but Clay split the two up and Tsunami told Anemone to come hunting with her, which she reluctantly agreed to. In result, Bigtail kept the rest of the fish.

Later, Bigtail was killed in the History Cave by the explosion. Because of the argument in the prey center, some dragons suspected that Pike caused the explosion, but actually, Sora set it off, meaning to kill Icicle for killing her sister. Bigtail died of his burns when the Dragonflame cactus seed pods exploded, along with Carnelian, the SkyWing in the Jade Winglet. Tamarin, the RainWing from the Gold Winglet, was also in the history cave at the time of the explosion, but she thankfully survived but got injured, by tipping a scroll rack on herself as protection.
