Biography

The Lost Heir

Whirlpool was a member of Queen Coral's council, taught Anemone Aquatic, "trained" her animus skills.

After the dragonets were imprisoned, Anemone came to visit and enchanted a spear to search for the dragon that had attacked Tsunami. It herded Whirlpool into the prison, and Whirlpool exclaimed how impressed he was, and threatened to tell Blister. Then, Anemone struck him with the spear, causing Whirlpool to fall into the moat which surrounded the dragonets' prison. The moat was full of massive electric eels that gave off shocks strong enough to kill a dragon, charging the water with deadly force. When Whirlpool fell in, there was a blinding flash, and he then got electrocuted and died by this the shock was all drained from the eels helping the dragonets escape.

Winter Turning

Anemone thought of Whirlpool and of how she could overthrow her mother.

Personality

Anemone claimed that he never let her do anything in her animus lessons except for moving inanimate objects around, such as making a flowery-scented letter float across the room. He is completely loyal to Queen Coral, who described him as "the most wonderful dragon."

Relationships

Queen Coral

Whirlpool often acts very gentlemanly around Coral, as he wishes to become king. Queen Coral describes him as "brilliant" and "wonderful" and wanted him to marry Anemone, and later Tsunami, then Auklet.

Tsunami

They intensely hate each other.

Anemone|Anemone]] and Auklet === Whirlpool wants to not marry one of the younger sisters so he doesn't have to become king, due to his intense love for Tsunami. He believed that he should ask Queen Coral to not make him marry Auklet, since he assumed that Anemone would not survive the war. He trained Anemone with her animus powers, mostly by having her move things around with them.

Trivia

Whirlpool created an ink mixed with whale blood and squid ink to make ink that never fades, though this does mean he and Coral are left with permanent stains on their talons.
Tui has repeatedly hinted that Whirlpool is snuggled by eels, and has been ambiguous on the whole matter.
