Squid
Template:Infobox Squid is a green SeaWing and a false dragonet set to replace Tsunami. He is the son of Nautilus, the leader of the Talons of Peace . His mother is also a Talon. Although he is smaller than the other false dragonets, his intense personality makes up for what he lacks in stature. Many of the other false dragonets (except for Fatespeaker) enjoy beating him up and setting him on fire. Squid was unaware that he is a false dragonet of destiny, and believed that he was the true SeaWing dragonet until Starflight arrived.
Personality
Squid is obsessed with treasure and gold, even more than fame and peace, and claims that all of the Talons are 'lame' because none of them gave him treasure. He considers Ochre, Viper, and Flame to be bullies, and Fatespeaker to be insane. 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 lead 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.
Biography
In the beginning of The Hidden Kingdom, Squid is shown getting beaten up in a practice fight with the other false dragonets. Nautilus brings him with him when he speaks to Morrowseer, so the others don't bite him. He is revealed to be Nautilus' son. When Morrowseer suggests letting him be a dragonet of destiny, Squid accepts with the promise of treasure. He runs off to tell the others how important he is.
In the epilogue, he is in the NightWing Kingdom, missing his father and wondering why he let them take him away. When Fatespeaker "sees" a vision, Squid is shown to be irritated.
In The Dark Secret, he claims that he told Fatespeaker not to wander off and he hoped that Morrowseer punished her. When the idea of replacing Fatespeaker is introduced, he asks to be the one to "push her off a cliff." He attempts to kill Starflight on Morrowseer's command, but is scared off by NightWing guards.
When Starflight attempts to persuade the SkyWing guards to change their allegiance to Blister, Squid is immediately recognized as a fraud, as the soilders had seen Tsunami in The Dragonet Prophecy. After NightWings kill the seventeen SkyWings, Squid decides he wants to "quit being a dragonet of destiny." In response, Morrowseer exiles him and Starflight privately thinks that a SeaWing in SkyWing territory wouldn't last a day.
In the epilogue, it is shown that a spy for the Talons of Peace "by some miracle" found him before the SkyWings, and took him to his father.
