Viper
Template:Infobox Viper was the false SandWing dragonet of the prophecy intended as the replacement for Sunny. Viper's unnamed parents were members of the Talons of Peace; she considered the NightWing Morrowseer awful, and was very hostile towards the other false dragonets. Viper's scales were the proper SandWing colour (unlike Sunny's), and she also had a barbed, venomous tail. Similar to all the false dragonets, she was annoyed by Fatespeaker's imprecise predictions, and found amusement in bullying Squid, as well as Flame and Ochre. She was usually in a sour mood and seemed to hate the other false dragonets.
Biography
In the prologue ofThe Hidden Kingdom, Viper has a pretend fight with the other dragonets. Ochre trips over her, and she bites his tail. Squid considers her, Ochre, and Flame to be bullies. In the epilogue, they flew across the ocean with Morrowseer to the Night Kingdom and were placed in a cave. In the cave, she tells Ochre that he smells bad, and gets mad at Fatespeaker when she claims to be having a vision.
In The Dark Secret, she first appears when Starflight was introduced to the False Dragonets. She seems to like the idea of replacing Fatespeaker. When Morrowseer orders her to kill Starflight, she asks if they can kill Fatespeaker instead. She sticks with Squid during the chase, and is chased back to their cave by four NightWing guards. As Flame and Ochre are in the dungeon, she and Squid have to spend the night in the NightWing Dormitory. The NightWing dragonets annoy her, and she threatens them with her tail before sulking in a corner. The next day, Morrowseer takes them to a remote SkyWing outpost and orders them to convince the dragons inside to switch their allegiance from Burn to Blister, although they fail and have to be rescued by NightWing soldiers. After the fight is over, the next day she tells Morrowseer that she never wants to do that again. She is eager to jump into the later practice fight with Fatespeaker, prompting Starflight to join in as well to save her. Viper blames Fatespeaker for her being taken to the NightWing island and nearly kills her before Starflight runs into her. Her tail slices Flame's face, and the SkyWing accidentally pushes her into a river of lava. When she didn't reappear above the surface, Fatespeaker wept by the river for her lost "friend." Viper is currently the only false dragonet to have died in the series.
