Durian was an adult male RainWing and the main antagonist of Wings of Fire Arc 4 written by Nightshade28173 (me). He was Venom's RainWing guardian and once resided in the secret lab with all of her other guardians. He is the point of view character in Winglets Cinquet: Fury.
== Appearance ==
Durian is described by Venom to usually have lime green scales along his body, limbs, and tail, and the scales along his spine and across his snout are a dark orange to a light brown. His wings, ruff, and the triangle pattern going down his neck and body are usually a subdued yellow. Durian has a long, flexible and prehensile tail that is always used for getting around the walls and ceiling of the secret lab. His eyes are small and a bright acid green, and are noted to sparkle with malice. He has razor sharp fangs and small wings.
== Personality ==
Durian is described by Venom to have a very strange and unpredictable personality in the early chapters of The Deadliest Dragon. He did nearly everything upside down and he hardly talked at all, only to argue lightly with all the other guardians. He put up a very good rouse of a lazy RainWing, having suntime whenever he could. Later, it was revealed he was a friend of Chameleon. He was bent on getting revenge for his friend and maybe even brother. He told Venom that he was boiling with rage everyday, longing to destroy the rainforest and every dragon inside.
He was merciless and didn't care if anyone got caught in the crossfire. The only thing he did care for was Chameleon, even showing kindness and letting him sleep with him.
== Biography ==
=== In Winglets Cinquet: Fury ===
Durian was born in the RainWing village, hatching out of his egg all alone in the hatchery. An egg next to him split open and Chameleon joined him in the new world. They snuggled up together and bonded as soon as they were born. They were still great friends when it was discovered Chameleon couldn't camouflage, even though his name was ironically 'Chameleon'.
Chameleon became the laughing stock of the RainWing village. Durian was incredibly annoyed and furious about this. It wasn't Chameleon's fault he wasn't the same as everyone else! Years later, the tribe had had enough of Chameleon. They kicked him out, unleashing a monster inside Durian. He kicked away any sympathy he had ever felt for his tribe. For him, they could all burn in the pits of hell. But he couldn't do it alone. He found Chameleon after his exile and they hatched a plan. Several, actually.
While Chameleon went around the continent, searching far and wide for a queen worthy of helping overthrow the RainWings, Durian discovered the secret lab when Ghosthunter dreamvisited him. He decided that Venom would be a perfect weapon to use against RainWings. So he accepted the invitation.
=== In The Deadliest Dragon ===
In the prologue, Durian is one of the three dragons who Dolphin sees in the project room first and he is hanging upside down like always, holding a clipboard. He reminds the guardians while they are arguing, about the relationship between Peril and Clay and later warns them that the egg is starting to hatch.
Poison Ivy mentions how Durian was sleeping when she talks to Venom about the prey shortage. Later, Venom sees Durian at the stone table and gives a brief description of him. Later, on the continent and after Durian's betrayal, Poison Ivy tells Venom the truth about how Durian suddenly just turned on them.
At the end of the book, we hear him talking to Venom.
In the epilogue, Durian and Chameleon argue on how messy the MudWing interference was and how it might expose them.
=== In A Timeless Kingdom ===
In the prologue, Ant and Poison Ivy manage to wriggle out of the fight in the secret lab and notice Durian attacking Ghosthunter with venom. Ant feels a sharp tang of betrayal and Poison Ivy urges her to move on, averting her eyes from the scene.
Ant meets Sky and Wren in the Leafsilk Kingdom and asks for their help, describing how the secret lab was destroyed. She tells Sky that if he knew Venom then he should tell her that Durian betrayed them and that she should look out for him if they were ever to cross paths. Later, Sky tells Hazel about Durian and tells her to warn all her subjects about a new villian.
=== In Swamps of Secrets ===
In Umber's flashback, Durian is seen attacking Sora although, Umber isn't sure who the attacker is. Just that it was a RainWing.
When he and Winter visit the stronghold, Poison Ivy tells them about Durian, and Umber confirms that he was the one who attacked him and Sora. Umber decides to stay low and make sure Durian doesn't try to kill him next. It is revealed that he snuck into Durian's base and took Winter, Reed, and Turtle with him to check out the situation. In a frenzy, the RainWing attacks them.
After the commotion, Durian finds and corners Umber, ready to kill him. Then Pheasant and Reed jump in and attack, letting Umber escape with Marsh.
Durian stages several more attacks on Possibility in the later chapters but doesn't appear. 
W.I.P
== Relationships ==
=== Chameleon ===
Durian treats Chameleon like a brother. Technically, they are related, but no one knows if they are brothers, cousins or anything else. Durian was always protective of Chameleon and it is noted that he is the only dragon Durian agrees to snuggle with. When Chameleon was kicked out of the tribe, Durian was bent on vengeance and decided to leave as well, abandoning the world he grew up in just to be with Chameleon. They have one of the strongest relationships ever.
=== Venom ===
To Durian, Venom is just a malfunctioned puppet. Durian originally participated in the project to use Venom as a murder weapon. He doesn't like Venom for her personality, but instead interested in her power, aiming to control her. He succeeded, but Venom eventually broke out of his control, hating her guardian and all his plans and ideas. They develop a relationship like an unhappy caged wild animal and their owner. Durian was killed by Venom, pushed into lava, and burned to death.
=== Poison Ivy ===
Durian thinks Poison Ivy as an incredibly annoying and difficult roadblock. He finds it infuriating that Poison Ivy managed to escape and tell Venom all about him. Although it was her words that led to Venom giving in to Durian, it was also her words that made Venom fight Durian with all her strength and finally succeeding. Poison Ivy has said that she feels honored to have made such a high spot in Durian's hate list.
=== Ghosthunter ===
Ghosthunter is just another annoyance to Durian. It was his mind reading skills that led him to be able to influence Venom into trying to break free of Durian's spell which led to his downfall. Ghosthunter half founded the whole project and Durian just feels that he would be responsible for all his failures. Ghosthunter constantly helps Venom force Durian out of her mind which makes Ghosthunter a nuisance to Durian.
=== Cocoon ===
To Durian, Cocoon is possibly the most interesting of the nine other guardians. Durian knew his story was similarly based on revenge and Durian liked him for that. Cocoon didn't care much about Durian until he betrayed them. Cocoon turned on the RainWing, wrapping him in layers of silk, allowing Ant and Poison Ivy escape. Durian hated Cocoon for that and tried to get him to use his antennae to search for Ant and Poison Ivy, infuriated when Cocoon told him that his antennae couldn't reach that far.
