Template:Infobox CharacterMangrove is a RainWing featured in the third book of the series, The Hidden Kingdom. He and his mate, Orchid, are fruit gatherers for the tribe. They have been out gathering when Orchid got captured. He is first seen in Queen Magnificent's treehouse, waiting in line to protest about the thirteen missing RainWings.
Biography
After Orchid went missing, Mangrove became determined to find her. He stood in line at Queen Magnificent's palace every day, waiting for his turn to tell the queen about the disappearances. When it became apparent she wasn't going to do anything about it, he volunteered to help Glory in looking for the "rainforest monster." The search lead to the discovery of a wormhole that lead to the borders of the Kingdom of Sand and the Ice Kingdom. Thinking Orchid might be in the latter, Mangrove took off while the dragonets weren't looking.
Glory and Jambu then disguised themselves as IceWings and found him hiding in Blaze's Fortress near the Ice Kingdom border and rescued him.
During the competition in which Glory tried to become queen, Glory picked Mangrove as part of her team. He participated in the fruit gathering contest and collected seventeen different fruits, beating Queen Dazzling, who originally had nineteen (through cheating), but ate three on the way back.
Starflight and Glory led an attack on the NightWings through the wormhole. There, they rescued Splendor, Orchid, the rest of the missing RainWings, and Deathbringer. Mangrove and Orchid reunited by locking tails.
Starflight mentioned that he was feeling a rumbling in the earth, and Mangrove replied that it was like "all the happiness in us is trying to burst out".
Mangrove appeared in when tasked along with Jambu to enter the Ice Kingdom, disguised as IceWings, to send a message to Blaze. When he returns, he and Jambu tell Glory that Blaze is not coming, and Mangrove says that it is because they know Burn and Blister can both kill Blaze easily.
When Glory visited Burn's stronghold at the end of the book, he and Grandeur are left in charge of the Rainforest Kingdom.
Trivia
- Glory seems to trust Mangrove more than most of the other RainWings.
- It was stated he is grumpier than most RainWings, mainly because after Orchid disappeared, he missed a lot of suntime, worrying about her.
- He is not as lazy as most RainWings, and more alert.
