Squid

"Well, I wasn’t going to eat it. We are on an island. I think someone should be able to bring me a fresh fish, considering who my father is and the fact that I’m a dragonet of destiny. I mean, really."

— Squid, to Ochre on the matter of eating the NightWing carrion.

Template:Charbox Squid is a small, emerald green male SeaWing dragonet with green wings and the false dragonet intended to replace Tsunami, because he was too defiant in the eyes of Morrowseer. He is the son of Nautilus (the former leader of the Talons of Peace), and his mother is unknown other than confirmation of her being in the Talons. He is smaller than the other false dragonets, about the size of a three-year-old, so he is most likely the youngest, but he has claimed that his big personality makes up for his size. Many of the other false dragonets enjoy harming him and trying to set him on fire, mostly because he is always whining and annoying them. Squid was unaware that he was a false dragonet of destiny, just like the other false dragonets, and believed that he was the true SeaWing dragonet until Starflight arrived and broke the news to him in The Dark Secret.

Personality

Squid is obsessed with treasure and gold (a trait similar to many dragons), even more than fame and peace, and claims that all of the Talons are 'lame' because none of them gave him treasure. He is seen as whiny, and considers Ochre, Viper, and Flame as bullies, and Fatespeaker to have "lost her marbles." In addition, he often tries to lord it over the others that his father is the leader of the Talons of Peace, although this only annoys the false dragonets and usually leads to them attacking him.                           

He is shown to be cowardly and childish when it comes to real work. He believes he is much too important, being the son of the leader of the Talons of Peace, to interact appropriately. He is confused and upset when Morrowseer sends him away, saying that his father is the leader of the Talons, and that everyone had to treat him nicely. This shows that he thinks very highly of himself.

When Morrowseer called him "small and hardly a four year old" he claimed that he "has a big personality."

Appearance

Squid has a darker shade of green scales than his father, and has no black swirl marks. But he has the same dark green horns and hooked, curved talons, and a large, powerful tail to create big splashes.

Biography

The Hidden Kingdom

In the prologue, Squid was shown being beaten up in a practice fight with the other false dragonets. Nautilus brought him over with him when he spoke to Morrowseer, so the others wouldn't bite him. He was then revealed to be Nautilus' son. When Morrowseer suggested letting him be a dragonet of destiny, Squid accepted with the promise of treasure. He then ran off to tell the others how important he was.

In the epilogue, he was in the NightWing Kingdom, missing his father and wondering why he let them take him away. When Fatespeaker saw a "vision" regarding walrus, Squid was shown to be rather irritated, throwing a leftover bone from Ochre's dinner at her.

The Dark Secret

Squid claimed that he told Fatespeaker not to wander off and he hoped that Morrowseer punished her. When the idea of replacing Fatespeaker was introduced, he asked to be the one to "push her off a cliff." He attempted to kill Starflight on Morrowseer's command, but was scared off by some NightWing guards.

When Starflight attempted to persuade the SkyWing guards to change their allegiance to Blister, Squid was immediately recognized as a fraud, as he was male (and green), and the soldiers had seen Tsunami in The Dragonet Prophecy, who was blue. After the NightWings killed the seventeen SkyWings, Squid decided that he wanted to "quit being a dragonet of destiny." In response, Morrowseer exiled him and Starflight privately thought that a SeaWing in SkyWing territory wouldn't last a day. Fatespeaker felt horrible when he left. 

In the epilogue, it was shown that a spy for the Talons of Peace "by some miracle" found him before the SkyWings, and ushered him to his father. Squid stated to his father and Blister that he hates NightWings.

He is the only living false dragonet who did not appear in The Brightest Night.

Winter Turning

Squid was seen practicing his stealth approach at the Talons of Peace hideout. He startled Winter, who then threatened to rip of his tail and beat him with it. He is then sent away by Riptide for sneaking up on the guests and disobeying his orders, and flew off, muttering and whining.
