Abalone
- "I'm sorry. I've been waiting for someone to come. But I won't leave the eggs — I won't — they'll be safe, I promise."
- — Abalone to King Gill in Talons of Power.

Abalone was a male SeaWing guard of the SeaWing Royal Hatchery. He was a soldier before his death, Snapper having been his deputy chief. He seemed to be a very alert soldier, as King Gill stated that he never slumped.
Appearance
He was described as having silvery-blue scales[1]. However, the lump on his neck pushed out his scales into jagged shapes.
Biography
King Gill found Abalone extremely sick with a mysterious growth on his neck while trying to guard the royal eggs, so he sent a young Turtle to find Snapper to guard the eggs, planning to get Abalone to the healers once someone could guard the eggs. He knew that to leave the eggs alone would mean their certain death. After a long time, Turtle, who had used his secret animus magic to find Snapper, who had left the palace without permission, did not return and Abalone's condition grew worse as the growth got much bigger. Gill finally gave up on waiting for Turtle and ran to fetch the healers himself. When he returned, he found Abalone unconscious because the growth on his neck had burst. The two female eggs had been crushed, and Gill roared until his throat gave out. When he talked with Queen Coral, she replied she had already sent word to have Abalone and Snapper both executed. Turtle was left feeling incredibly guilty, never knowing that it wasn't his fault he couldn't find Snapper.
Trivia
- An abalone is a common name for any group of edible mollusks. Most of them live in the warm seas and have a shallow ear-shaped shell lined with mother-of-pearl and pierced with respiratory holes. They are also considered a delicacy in some countries.
- Abalone is the first and only known dragon to have died from cancer or something similar to it.
