Biography
The Forgotten Isles
Taipan first appeared alongside Dugong and Royal when they confronted Umber and Sora in the Gathering. Taipan attempted to intimidate Umber and attacked him with fire to see if he had fireproof scales, but Umber tackled him instead.
Taipan later appeared during the Northern Lights concert when he told Beryl that he, Dugong, and Royal would catch Platypus. Taipan and the others chased Umber and Platypus into the castle, but lost them in a mirror maze. When Umber returned to Beryl to tell her that he lost Platypus, Taipan was also present and was scolded by Beryl for losing her.
Taipan mocked Dugong when he confronted him after he took Mulberry hostage in support of Beryl and Snakeroot. When Taipan was being mocked by everyone, he shouted at them all to stop before Platypus sprayed her venom onto his wings, and he screamed in pain. After Beryl and Snakeroot were overthrown, Taipan was imprisoned in the dungeons with them.
