'''The Royal [[SeaWings|SeaWing]] Massacre''' occurred after [[Prince Albatross]] of the SeaWings built the [[Summer Palace of the Sea|Summer Palace]] over 2000 years before the events of the series. As an [[Animus Dragons|animus]] dragon, Albatross's powers eventually overtook his soul, and he was driven insane. During a party arranged by the queen, Albatross managed to kill at least nine members of his own family, [[Queen Lagoon]], [[King Humpback]], [[Princess Splash|Splash]], [[Reef]], [[Manta]], [[Scallop]], [[Eel]], [[Princess Sunset]] of the [[SkyWings]], and an unknown musician, who had tried to fight back, leaving only [[Prince Fathom|Fathom]], his grandson, Indigo, best friends with Fathom, and [[Queen Pearl|Pearl]], the heir to the throne, before being stabbed through the heart by a spear. Fathom enchanted the spears to kill him, but lied and said Indigo killed Albatross so Pearl wouldn't think he used his magic and to cause less attention to himself. A SkyWing named [[Eagle (Darkstalker)|Eagle]] who had accompanied [[Princess Sunset]] to the party also survived and flew back to the [[Sky Kingdom]]. Pearl survived by pretending she was dead. [[Current]] survived the massacre by escaping, but it is unknown whether he was executed or not.  Countless others were rumored to escape into the sea, but there was never any confirmation.

After the massacre, Pearl ascended to the throne peacefully.Indigo was given a position in the guard, and Fathom became a recluse. When Fathom and Indigo were at the party with Darkstalker, they mentioned no one from  the [[Kingdom of the Sea]] and never talked about it much.

* [[Prince Albatross]] - perpetrator of the massacre and responsible for nearly all the deaths and injuries sustained by dragons involved. Killed by Fathom and Indigo's combined efforts.
* [[Eel]] - killed in a nondescript way
* [[King Humpback]] - killed in a nondescript way
* [[Queen Lagoon]] - the first to be killed. Throat slit by a knife held in Albatross's own claws.

* [[Prince Reef]] - killed trying to help his wife, Manta, calm down Albatross
* [[Scallop|Prince Scallop]] - killed by Albatross, death not described
* [[Princess Splash]] - killed by her own spear while trying to stop Albatross. She tried to sneak up behind him and kill him, ending the massacre, but he enchanted the spear to turn and kill her instead
* [[Princess Sunset]] - stabbed in the throat by an enchanted knife (the same one used to kill Lagoon)


In [[The Lost Heir| ''The Lost Heir'']], [[Princess Anemone|Anemone]] mentioned the Royal SeaWing Massacre when she explained the side effects of using animus magic. She didn't like [[Whirlpool]] making her use her powers because she never wants to be like Albatross.
=== Injured ===
* [[Current]] - managed to flee the massacre with minimal injury, swam all the way to the Night Kingdom before beaching and collapsing. Kept as a guest/hostage by Queen Vigilance for information.
* [[Eagle (Darkstalker)|Eagle]] - hit in the chest by a knife, survived to get word of the massacre back to the Sky Kingdom. Ultimate fate unknown.
* [[Prince Fathom]] - sustained minimal injury by hiding under a boat with Indigo. Enchanted spears to kill Albatross while Indigo kept him distracted, killing him and ending the massacre
* [[Indigo]] - nearly died before being healed by Fathom, hid under a boat with Indigo until Albatross found them. Distracted him, sustaining major injury, while Fathom enchanted spears to kill him
* [[Queen Pearl]] - sustained multiple cuts but survived by faking dead. As the only surviving princess, she was forced to ascend to the throne at the age of five.


In [[Moon Rising|''Moon Rising'']], [[Moonwatcher]] is encouraged by [[Darkstalker]] to read a scroll about animus touched objects, which reveals some information about Prince Albatross and the Royal SeaWing Massacre, although the passage is mostly about Fathom.
