Saguaro
- "Very well, you maddening NightWing. Your story has warmed my heart, or perhaps I just need you to go away and stop sliding incriminating notes under your door. So. Midnight tomorrow. Be ready."
- — Saguaro on a scroll to Fierceteeth
Template:Charbox Saguaro is a female SandWing guard who seems to be interested in overthrowing Thorn with Fierceteeth. She has a scar across her chest right above her heart. She is apparently a schemer, and connected to "great secret plans". In Prisoners, she exchanged letters with Fierceteeth in the dungeon, who was trying to get Saguaro to help her overthrow Queen Glory, and let her and Strongwings out of prison.
Biography
She was guarding Strongwings and Fierceteeth in the dungeon of the SandWing stronghold. Fierceteeth kept annoying her to get her a piece of paper. After Fierceteeth told her story, Saguaro was convinced to help Strongwings and Fireceteeth get out.
She might be the dragon Darkstalker had killed out of Fierceteeth, Strongwings, and 2 unnamed SandWings. She also might have survived, but by being one of the SandWings put in Glory's prison, even though Darkstalker made it with animus magic.
Trivia
- A saguaro is a giant cactus that can grow to 66 feet (20 meters) in height and whose branches are shaped like candle holders, and is native to Mexico and the southwestern US. Its reddish-purple fruit can be used for food and drink.

- It is possible she might have the Obsidian Mirror, and uses it to talk to Onyx.

- She may be one of the SandWing prisoners in Talons of Power, but this is not confirmed.
