Addax
- "I was thrown out of her army, but my family wasn't. There are dragons there I need to get back to."
- — Addax about Burn's army, The Brightest Night
Template:Charbox Addax is a male SandWing who is an ex-member of the Outclaws. He previously served as a soldier in Burn's army, as noted by Six-Claws. After betraying the Outclaws by kidnapping Sunny for Burn, it is assumed he rejoined Burn's army and reunited with his family.
Appearance
Addax has pale yellow scales like most SandWings[1]. He also has "a long scratch across one of his eyes that had also torn up part of his nose"[2], disfiguring his face, likely acquired after meeting Sunny for the first time, as she mentions that she would have remembered a scar like that. He also has a limp.
Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
Sunny recalled seeing Addax at the feast Queen Scarlet was hosting for Burn. Sunny stated that he was a bit of a tail-kisser, as Addax was noted to bow down very low to the princess as he saw her or talked to her. He didn't have his scar then, which is why Sunny hadn't recognized him at first.
Addax first appeared in front of Six-Claws, who was escorting Sunny to Thorn, and he questioned who she was. Six-Claws dismissed him, Addax watching them until they were out of his view. Sunny thought that he looked familiar, but decided that she would have remembered his scar.
He later deliberately set a fire and claimed that there was a dragonbite viper to draw Thorn away from Sunny. While she was distracted, Addax used Ostrich, Six-Claws's daughter, as a hostage. He offered her life in exchange for Sunny, who he wanted to give to Burn. Addax wanted Burn to allow him to return to her army and his family. After hearing this, Sunny agreed, but Six-Claws was reluctant to give Sunny up. Six-Claws eventually gave in, and Addax made up a lie for Six-Claws to tell Thorn, that Sunny decided she didn't want a criminal thug for a mother and ran for the hills. Sunny protested, telling Six-Claws to tell Thorn she was visiting her friends and would be back soon.
When Addax and Sunny arrive at Burn's stronghold, Burn was out looking for "a certain quintet of dragonets", and they were greeted by Prince Smolder. Addax told him that he wanted his reward for capturing Sunny, but Smolder told him to wait in the barracks until Burn returned. It was never revealed whether or not Addax received his reward.
Thorn wanted revenge on Addax for stealing Sunny, but she defended him. Sunny told her that he had his reasons and that it wasn't worth it, saying "I'm alright, aren't I?"

Trivia
