Prototype 20

"....k then" -Lykskrandium, T&S, Book 4. 
==Description==
Prototype 20, otherwise known as "Lykskrandium" is a government WMD designed to appear like that of the mythical Western Dragon. Prototype 20 is both able to speak English fluently, show enhanced cognitive ability, and also be able to breathe fire. After escaping his birthing nest sometime when he was about 1, Prototype 20 fled to Kansas, where he further grew up alone until meeting Thomas Pelts, whomst he fought before befriending for the rest of time. From there, Skrand continued growing, maturing into a ginormous and fierce dragon; trace suspect of being a giant GMO made by the United States government, who still hunts for him.
==Appearance==
Lykskrandium originally appears as an 11' tall dragon, slowly growing bit by bit throughout the Thomas and Skrand series; his most notorious size being when he was 15' tall, then becoming 23' tall during his return with Thomas, then 35' in the first days of Glonabia, before growing to a whopping 60' after being remeasured and matured!
Lykskrandium is a gray dragon, with mighty triangular scales dominanting his whole body. On the sides of his head are tan bull-like horns that point upward. He has yellow eyes, an elongated snout filled with lots of conical teeth, and two upside-down L-shaped nostrils to breathe out of. Skrand stands on all fours as he has digitigrade legs, although he is able to stand up on them, which doubles his height to about 120'. He also has wings on his back, and a very long tail behind him! For those wondering, he has a cloaca, like a normal reptile does.
==Background==
===Birth and Development===
Prototype 20 was born sometime perhaps during 2015 as documentation would hint, an actual date yet to be specified. From here, Prototype 20 learned many things about himself, being mostly nurtured by the science faction of FBI workers monitoring him, presumably in Base 275. At some point, Prototype 20 had the instinct to be free, and henceforth broke himself out of their grasp, flying far away from reach before settling down in Kansas, where he began quickly developing into a well-sized young dragon. From there, he met Thomas Pelts, and immediately became best friends with him.
===The Dragon and The Knight===
Lykskrandium spent every day alongside Thomas, becoming his comrade in every situation. Skrand proved to be as deadly as he was created to be, successfully defeating droves of Kazoo People in defense of Thomas, whilst also proving to be a strategic escape vehicle thanks to his abilities of flight. The two would go on adventures all around Kansas, destroying an entire Kazoo City before escaping into the country, where Skrand would lose and then find Thomas, but not before saving a village from raiders, then becoming the god of their village, and suzerain kingdom, whereas Thomas achieved king status from their friendship.
===Ripped From Reality===
At some point in Skrand's adventures, both him and Thomas were ripped from the reality they knew on Earth, and placed in multiple different realities that have since canonized as being apart of their story arc.
Thus far, they have traveled into a realm full of furries, then through a realm merely known as "Medieval", where they met Raloth and Thoides. From there, they went into a multi-colored dimension, where a single odd raptor-like reptile was. After that, they appeared in what is known as the Land of Glonabia. From there, they are to head to Khaosa, and hopefully back home.
==Notes==
*Skrand's original name was "Swalts", or later "Shwaltz".
*It may have been accidental Skrand kept rapidly growing, but this has since been worked out.
*Skrand was once known as "Specimen DRGN" in Database computers. This has since been retconned and formalized.
