Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
Tapir was briefly mentioned when Glory asked Mangrove about the missing RainWings. Mangrove claimed that Tapir was the oldest of the missing dragons, roughly 110 years of age. Tapir's age shows that RainWings can grow to be much older than dragons from other tribes, most likely because the RainWings had no wars to die from, being pacifists and isolated in their rainforest.
While imprisoned by the NightWings, Glory was told by Kinkajou that the food the RainWings were brought was disgusting and rotten, and that Tapir eventually let himself starve to death to avoid having to eat carrion. Later, when defending Glory's decision to challenge Queen Magnificent, Kinkajou mentioned that Tapir, Bright, and Orangutan had already "died awful deaths, alone and far away from everything and everyone they loved." Most of the tribe still didn't believe her, but some, such as Tamarin and Mangrove, did.
Trivia
- Dying at around 110, Tapir is one of the oldest known dragons whose longevity was not caused by animus magic.
- Tapir is the second known dragon to have committed suicide.
