== Appearance ==
Monolithic is as his name implies, a monolithic SandWing. He's of stocky build and has broad shoulders and extensive wings. This creates a very intimidating appearance that is only enhanced by his ever-present scowl, the extensive amber tattoos painting his left side, and the numerous battle scars marring his body. 
He appears like a typical SandWing-if extremely large. His scales are a pale sandy yellow-white accented with pale gold, while his belly is beige. His short bone white horns are curved upwards, and his claws are like black spikes or thorns. The sail on his back is a deep gold color and notched by claw scars while his wings are a light gold that grow pale at the frayed edge. The most eye-catching part of his appearance besides his size are his wounds, most notable of which is his missing stinger that was replaced by a giant metal prosthetic. 
The most common accessories he can be seen wearing are a thick dark brown leather apron, and similarly colored bags, belts, and pouch that carry his blacksmithing tools.

== History ==
=== Dragonethood ===
He was born at the beginning of the SandWing Succession War to staunch Burn loyalist parents who valued strength above all. They instilled within him the value of strength, honor, and tradition, all of which would heavily influence him as he grew. Unfortunately, as is common in war, his parents were killed in battle. Enraged and determined, the orphaned Monolithic trained until he was accepted into Burn's army.
=== SandWing Succession War ===
During the war, he served on the front lines, and through are mix of blood, tears, sweat, hope and luck, he was able to survive and became one of Burn's most decorated generals. He was a terror on the battlefield, for he was both terribly strong yet agile. A single strike from his talon could crush skulls and rend flesh, while his tail stuck like lightning. This skill allowed him to become one of the most feared and respected SandWings of Burn's army, at least until Wulven defeated him, taking his stinger as trophy and humiliating him. Burn demoted him after this weakness, angering Monolithic who felt his years of service and loyalty went unappreciated, resulting in his abandonment of Burn's cause.
=== Peace ===
Since then, Monolithic has worked in the Scorpion Den, settling down into a practice other than war, blacksmithing. The heat of the forge and the strength needed to work the metal was comforting in its similarity to the battlefield, though to Monolithic, it was far more soothing with its rhythmic and serene methods compared to the chaos of war. He crafted a new identity and celebrated one night in a drunken stupor by getting a half body tattoo on his left side, it was one of the best decisions he ever made, but he doesn't drink anymore, Monolithic didn't want to test his luck a second time. Life was good, if a bit monotonous, usually interspersed with some public execution, turf wars, and assassins sent by competitors. One day this cycle broke when a RainWing snuck into his shop, Monolithic had heard of them, but he'd never seen them, and despite the poor first impressions, the RainWing-Venom-proved to be a reliable, if absent minded and manic apprentice. Initially, Monolithic hired him because the RainWing would be a helpful second pair of talons, and he could also double as a guard with his venom, but the dragonet proved to be a diamond in the rough, being creative and talented with blacksmithing. Since time has passed, they've become like uncle and nephew or mentor and student. 
== Relationships ==
=== Wulven - negative ===
The young upstart IceWing general who defeated him in battle. Wulven was to dragon to take his stinger and force his surrender, humiliating him in front of his soldiers. This resulted in his demotion by Princess Burn who punished him harshly for his failure. For this, Monolithic will always hate him, but he does hold a little ironic appreciation towards the IceWing, for if he had never been defeated by him, then Monolithic would still be serving under Burn, a dishonorable dragoness with no value for her soldiers no matter how long they bleed and fought for her. 
=== Venom - positive/neutral ===
The stray RainWing dragonet who wormed his way into Monolithic's heart. Monolithic will never forget the first time they met; Venom had nearly given Monolithic a heart attack after sneaking into Monolithic's workshop under the guise of a SandWing customer before un-camouflaging himself infront of the SandWing. While Venom's first impressions weren't the best, he proved himself to be both capable in body and mind. Monolithic has grown fond of the dragonet and has taken to teaching Venom all the things a dragon should know that the RainWing is seemingly clueless too, like some older cousin or uncle figure. 
== Trivia ==
* I'd say his voice is that of Dreadwing's from Transformers: Prime. 
* Despite what his name implies, he wasn't named after his size (he was a large dragonet, but he wasn't monolithic, since, you know, he's a hatchling). He was named after his parent's large hopes for his future.
