Shark
- "Very well, kill the other four and bring her."
- — Shark, about the Dragonets of Destiny.
Template:Infobox Character Shark is a dull grey-green male SeaWing with black patterns along his scales. His unblinking, bone-pale, shark-like eyes are probably where he got his name from. He is the brother of Queen Coral, and therefore a prince. His daughters would be in line for the throne, if none of the queen's daughters were available.
Shark is also the main commander of the armies of the Sea Kingdom and in charge of military in the SeaWing Council. He has knobbly eyebrows and a fierce temper. Shark also has a daughter named Moray, although his mate is currently unknown.
History
Shark stopped Riptide and the Dragonets as they approached the Summer Palace. He confirmed that Tsunami was Queen Coral's daughter from the bioluminescent patterns on the underside of her wings that are shared exclusively in the royal family. He allowed them through, however, not before trying to have the rest of the dragonets killed for security purposes. Tsunami yelled at him to let them through and states that she is the lost SeaWing princess.
When they entered the Summer Palace, Queen Coral put all the Dragonets except Tsunami in Blister's cave and shows Tsunami around while Shark makes a gesture with his index talon saying, "Not yet. We'll finish it later." With the threat of having a MudWing in their palace, he ordered Clay to be chained to the wall. This caused Clay, along with the others, to almost drown. Glory and Sunny didn't want to leave Clay and they were about to drown. Starflight also stayed with them, but maybe just to make sure that Sunny was okay.
Tsunami suspected Shark of being her attacker in the tunnels. She also thought he was the one who smashed Queen Coral's eggs. However, Shark wasn't the one responsible, though he did grant permission for Tortoise to leave her post at the Royal Hatchery to eat an octopus, while one of the eggs inside the hatchery was demolished.
Because Shark ordered Clay to be chained to the floor, he would have been responsible for the deaths of the dragonets if they had drowned in the storm. For this and disobeying her orders (as well as Tsunami's dramatic reveal of what he had done), Queen Coral has him imprisoned in her underwater dungeon with Tsunami's approval, along with another dragon named Lagoon. He was later released either before or during an attack on the Summer Palace by Burn's forces, mostly SkyWings, and led the defense. Afterwards, he fled to the Deep Palace with the rest of the surviving SeaWings.
Personality
Shark is generally assumed to have military-like aspects, expects being obeyed immediately, and is said to be quite vicious. Tsunami describes him as "creepy". He is shown to be a practical thinker. He suggested at one point that a son should inherit the throne if there are no daughters born to a queen. He tends to be very suspicious, as shown when he ordered the dragonets to be killed off on the chance that they might be a threat and that a Mudwing was joining them.
