"Grandson. Hiding like a nervous hermit crab. Interesting choice. One I should have expected, though, from such a little dragonet with such a limited imagination. You may be wondering why you're still alive. Especially when your entire family is dead."
— Albatross to Fathom during the Royal SeaWing Massacre.

Template:SpoilerToPTemplate:Infobox CharacterPrince Albatross was a male animus SeaWing known as a prince and a major SeaWing hero who lived around two thousand years ago. He was described to look rather like a seagull, with blueish-grey scales that looked almost white in places, and blue eyes so dark they were nearly black and long wings[1]. Albatross has the same hatching day as his sister, Queen Lagoon, but is nearly a neck taller[2]. He was one of the first known animus dragons. He was part of the SeaWing Royal Family and was killed after overusing his animus abilities and ultimately going insane. Once beloved, he slaughtered nine dragons using a knife, including his sister, Queen Lagoon, her husband, King Humpback, their daughter, Splash, Prince Fathom's parents, Reef and Manta, Scallop, Eel, Princess Sunset of the SkyWings, and an unknown musician before he was killed when Prince Fathom ordered spears to attack him, with spears into his back and side, not his chest, killing him. Indigo was given credit for his death. Before he went insane, Fathom described him as a jovial dragon, playing tricks on his student.

Biography

Pre-Series

Albatross used his animus powers to start the creation of the Summer Palace.

Darkstalker

Albatross is shown, rather reluctantly, testing a group of SeaWing dragonets to see if any of them are animus dragons. While talking to Queen Lagoon, he is hit in the chest by Fathom's coconut. He externally seems rather pleased, but strangles a distant seagull with a vine while congratulating him. Later, He is shown taking Fathom to the soon to be built Summer Palace. He reveals that he learned of his animus powers when Sapphire and Lagoon, his older sisters, were teasing him saying he swam like a feeble duck. Sapphire took his clam shell that he was playing with and he suddenly said "Bite her claws! Bite all her claws off!" without thought. In doing so, Sapphire never could become queen and turned insane (much like her brother) and was secluded on an island far from the Sea Kingdom, with well-paid servants tending to her. Fathom had suggested to enchant plants so no one could see the Summer Palace. Indigo revealed she was watching over Fathom, and Albatross then told them both to go back to class. Later, in the welcoming party for the SkyWings, he arrived late, and Queen Lagoon argued with him for being late. He enchanted a knife to slit her throat, killing her. Chaos ensued, as he attacked the SkyWings. As Fathom ran away, he saw Albatross kill Princess Splash. Later, Albatross found Fathom and Indigo behind the boats. When he revealed their hiding place, Indigo attacked him, allowing time for Fathom to enchant spears to kill Albatross.

The Lost Heir

Anemone made references to Albatross several times, saying that she didn't wish to use her animus powers and go insane like him. Unfortunately, Albatross's hard work may have been in vain, considering the Summer Palace was destroyed during this book-at the end- though it was well hidden and had stayed that way prior to it's destruction.

Moon Rising

Albatross is mentioned in the scroll Moon reads to find out about Dreamvisitors. The scroll describes The Royal SeaWing Massacre, and how his insanity influenced Queen Pearl to ban the use of animus magic on the Sea Kingdom.

Escaping Peril

After Turtle uses his animus power to take the scroll from Shapeshifter, Moon mentions Albatross while asking how Turtle is feeling. Turtle mentions that Albatross grew the entire pavilion before going completely insane as proven in Darstalker Legends.

Quotes

“An enchanted coconut will never miss, no matter how I dodge or try to block it. Go ahead and try.” -Albatross during the animus test.

"Hmmm, yes, very interesting. This talon definitely has more power than that one." - Messing with Fathom in an animus training session

“You may be wondering why you’re still alive. Especially when your entire family is dead.” -To Fathom during the Royal SeaWing massacre.

"Bite her! Bite all of her claws off!"- His first animus enchantment

Trivia

  • Some people think that Albatross may be half Icewing, due to his odd colouring, and the fact that it would also explain his animus magic, as Icewings have animuses
  • it is possible Albatross has come back as a ghost, because in the epilogue of Talons Of Power an unknown dragon is seen haunting some Dragonets, some of them think it's Albatross's ghost "coming back to haunt them"
