Sirocco
- "I want a ruby inna middle of my forehead! Can you do that?"
- — Sirocco to Ostrich, Darkness of Dragons
Template:Charbox Sirocco is a male SandWing mentioned in Moon Rising. He is the brother of Qibli and Rattlesnake, the son of Cobra, and the grandson of Vulture.
His last known location was the Scorpion Den.
Appearance
He wears a medallion with a vulture etching and belongs to the Talons of Power. Sirocco has three dragon skull tattoos to represent the dragons he has killed.
Personality
Sirocco is shown to be clumsy, thug-like, and not very smart, in contrast to Qibli. He also seems to have a speech impediment. Sirocco is very whiny and demanding, and very childlike. This annoys Rattlesnake, his sister, who is implied to be much smarter, though probably not as smart as Qibli.
Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
When Sunny asks Qibli if she has any siblings, he says no and that she was better off, as his siblings were "a pair of dung-snorting hippo heads who'd rather stab [him] with their tails than share so much as a fig with him." One of those "dung-snorting hippo heads" is Sirocco.
The Jade Mountain Prophecy
Moonwatcher sees Sirocco and Rattlesnake in Qibli's thoughts frequently. She also has a vision about Qibli fighting Rattlesnake and Sirocco, with an older male dragon (Vulture) glowering at him as well, with Qibli shouting, "Where is she?" referring to Cobra, his mother.
After Winter shoots frost breath at the scavenger weapon about to kill Qibli, Moon, and Kinkajou, Qibli notes that his family probably would have shoved him into the projectile fired, rather than saved him as Winter did.
Two SandWings are shown buying dragonflame cacti from a SkyWing vendor. It was confirmed by Tui they were Sirocco and Rattlesnake collecting the cacti for Vulture.
A group of dragons, most likely including Sirocco and Rattlesnake, terrified the SandWing tribe by setting off dragonflame cacti in different places throughout the Sand Kingdom.
Sirocco and Rattlesnake appear at their and Qibli's old home to take him and Winter to Vulture.
Sirocco is shown constantly at Rattlesnake's side. Rattlesnake comments that he is a meathead who gives their family a bad name due to his clumsiness and lack of brains. He and Rattlesnake are defeated by their mother and nearly killed before Qibli convinces her to spare them. Sirocco is bound and gagged, then left behind in Vulture's compound with his unconscious sister.
