- "So maybe you should listen to us for once. [...] If 'royalty' is so important to you, technically, Dugong and I are both princes and you're . . . not."
- — Royal to Taipan about him and Dugong, The Hybrid Prince
Royal is a male HiveWing-SilkWing hybrid who was introduced in The Hybrid Prince. He is the son of Monarch and Glowworm, and resides in the Court of Refuge.
Description
Royal has black and orange scales, with interwoven stripes of black and orange on his butterfly-shaped wings and a dark purple underbelly. His snout is unusually long and his eyes are narrow slits of blue.[1] He has antennae[2] and wears a harness on his back that holds a blunt club.[3]
Personality
Royal is often sarcastic and speaks in a bored voice,[3] though Umber suspects he uses this voice to cover up his real emotions.[4] He does not care about being a hero,[2] and dismisses the idea of ruling and royalty to be "too much work."[4]
Biography
The Forgotten Isles
Royal first appeared alongside Taipan and Dugong when they approached Umber and Sora after they first arrived at the Court of Refuge. Royal and Taipan antagonized Umber and Dugong. When Taipan attacked Umber, the MudWing hit Royal with the Toughen Up Stick.

Relationships
Royal believes that Dugong is a disaster[4] and pathetic. When told to by Taipan, he would hit Dugong with the Toughen Up Stick.[3] He was often mean to Dugong.[5]
When Umber brought up Royal's parents to him during the stand off between the Triumvirate and Taipan, Royal appeared to be emotionally impacted by their mention, but claimed that they had left him.[2] After standing up to Taipan and the Triumvirate taking back their power in the court, Royal was seen being hugged by his parents.[6]
Royal was formerly one of Taipan's underlings. He would follow the WildWing around and do as he said. Despite this, he was not treated as poorly as Dugong was,[3] and did not want to be dragged into Taipan's messes.[5] When Umber tried to get Royal to stand up to Taipan, Royal noted that he did not want to get involved, as Taipan was already humiliating himself enough.[2] After Dugong decided to stand up to Taipan, Royal joined, and claimed that Taipan was boring, petty, small, and proud of his own stupid cruelty.
