== Biography ==
When he was young, his mother (who just so happened to be the queen's sister) died of unknown cause, she was just randomly found dead.
He mourned his mothers death for a few months before moving on like nothing had ever happened.
Tarantula knew he couldn't take the throne for himself because he was a male, he knew he'd have to have a queen to take charge of the kingdom.
He looked around for a queen, he wasn't particularly interested in any of the Hivewings who lived within the palace so he decided to take a look around the whole continent.
He stopped by a LOT of villages, he noticed a beautiful Leafwing named Nightshade, he got to know her for a few years then propose, she hesitantly agreed and moved to the Hivewing palace.
Tarantula noticeably disliked her aunt, he decided to pay a well-known assassin to "take-her-out". Afterward, since the queen had no heirs, and none of the Hivewings wanted to take the position, everyone voted for Nightshade to be the next queen.
Tarantula had his life-long dream come true! He was in charge of the kingdom despite queens being more dominant in dragons, Nightshade normally just hung around, read books and visited nearby villages.
When it was time, King Tarantula decided he wanted an heir, a female heir. He wanted the royal Hivewing bloodline to stay pure Hivewing, so he wanted to adopt instead of having an egg with Nightshade.
They visited a nearby orphanage and decided to go with the most pathetic and ditsy dragon Tarantula had ever met, Junebug would be perfect, not brave enough to challenge the queen so he would have a long, powerful rein.
Years later, a sickness had swept through the palace, infecting and killing quite a few dragons, including his wife, Queen Nightshade.
He had to keep his position! Not just because he liked being in control, he couldn't let a nearly three year old dragonet run the kingdom, they would be a wreck! He had no choice but to re-marry, which wasn't a big problem, actually.
He married a more rude Hivewing named Ladybug, she was just like Tarantula, she thought very highly of herself and loved attention, Tarantula found her quite annoying. Category:Characters
