Template:Infobox Riptide is a SeaWing with sky blue scales and deep blue eyes. He was introduced in The Lost Heir as a member of the Talons of Peace whose Webs was his father. Coral seems to dislike him for being the son of Webs, as she has thought of his family as traitors and cowards.
Biography
Riptide hatched two years before Webs, his father, fled the SeaWings in the middle of a battle.

Personality
Riptide greatly cares for Tsunami, and it is very likely he has a crush on her. He also wants to avoid getting his father's reputation. He is displayed as being nice, but always seems a bit mysterious, shown when hesitating to tell Tsunami that Webs was his father or that he was working for the Talons of Peace.
Trivia
- The first phrase Riptide taught Tsunami in Aquatic was "squid-brain."
- He has been mistakenly depicted as turquoise, like his father Webs, in some fanart.
Quotes
"I certainly did not! You said you liked me, and that you'd followed me all the way out here to tell me that." (To Tsunami when they first met.)
"That's not usually how I introduce myself." (to Tsunami when apologizing for not telling her that Webs was his father.)
