Bigtail
- "This one that I'm eating?"
- — Bigtail to Anemone in the Prey Center, Moon Rising
Template:Charbox Bigtail was a young male NightWing dragonet who attended Jade Mountain Academy in the Gold Winglet. He was killed along with Carnelian by the dragonflame cactus explosion that took place in the History Cave inside Jade Mountain. This explosion was set off by Sora, a MudWing dragonet, who intended to kill Icicle instead of him and Carnelian.
Appearance
Though not much is known about his appearance, his name infers that he might have had a big tail. Like the other NightWings, he might have been thin and malnourished.
Personality
It is hinted from his argument with Anemone that he has a strong personality. Bigtail is also shown to have been somewhat selfish, wanting to keep the fish for himself. However, this may be due to the lack of food back on the NightWing Island, to which he appreciates food.
History
Bigtail was most likely one of the dragonets that were with Starflight when he woke up in the dormitory, although he wasn't mentioned by name. He probably appeared as the NightWings accepted Queen Glory's rule as well, though never stated.
While eating in the prey center, Anemone requested the fish that Bigtail was eating, claiming that it was her favorite type of fish. Bigtail refused to give it to her, resulting in an argument with Pike, one of Anemone's SeaWing followers. Pike started on how Anemone was the SeaWing princess, but Clay split the two up, saying that whoever got the food from the prey centre first could have it, but that they would review the rules if that didn't work. Tsunami then told Anemone to come hunting with her, which she reluctantly agreed to. As a result, Bigtail kept the rest of the fish.
Later, Bigtail was killed in the History Cave by the explosion. Bigtail died of his burns when the Dragonflame cactus exploded, along with Carnelian, the SkyWing in the Jade Winglet. Tamarin, the RainWing from the Gold Winglet, was also in the history cave at the time of the explosion, but she survived by tipping a scroll rack on herself as protection.
