Creatonotos

Special:Upload
Creatonotos is a young adult male SilkWing and one of the main protagonists of ThatMooseDragon's canon-derived story A Thousand Souls.
== Appearance ==
Creatonotos is a lean, long, handsome dragon with gray scales with a dark brown underbelly. His antennae are white, and his horns are brown. He has bright, brilliant red back scales. His legs are a dark gold and half of his tail is brown. His wings are described to be beautiful, and they are a rich brown, dark tan, with large, olive green spots and white accents. His spines are black, his tongue is a muted purple, and his silk pits in his wrists are a light lavender color. His teeth are unusually sharp for a SilkWing. He has a loose scale on the underside of his right shoulder. 
== Personality ==
Creatonotos is usually stone-faced, not very kind-looking upon first impressions. He is very self-preserving and will defend himself from any potentially dangerous situation with as much power as possible. He is quick to anger, yet is usually the one solving situations peacefully in a group. He keeps his unique ability a secret to dragons until he trusts them enough. He rarely cries, and he did so only three times: When he found out about what happened to his great grandparents, when his sister died, and the other Moose Dragon plans to write out in her story.
One of the main attributes that separates him from other SilkWings is the fact that he eats meat, and loves it! He'll tear into any kind of poultry, cow, or hog without second thoughts. This will be explained in his Biography.
He doesn't mind that he hasn't ever been to Pantala, but he plans to find his mother there. Before the plot of A Thousand Souls, it was his main reason for surviving.
He often has banter with his ghost friend, Blackjacket. It sounds like he's talking to himself, more often than not about not wanting to murder whoever's in front of him, which confuses the dragons around him.
== Biography ==
Creatonotos was hatched in a cave in the SandWing kingdom along with his sister. His mother, Egle, was in charge of raising them, including teaching them how to hunt, how to fight, and how to evade dragons other than themselves or other SilkWings. Arctiidae was in charge of education, including telling them why they shouldn't be seen by other dragons. 
Creatonotos and his sister Jezebel were aware of the conflict between Pyhrria and Pantala, and decided that they were never going to leave their cave until they were through with metamorphosis. Soon, however, their cave became infested with rats, and his sister died of a rat bite infection. Despite gaining wings within the next two weeks, Creatonotos couldn't find much to be excited about. Jezebel was his bosom-buddy and best friend at the time, other than Wishbender. And when his metamorphosis day came, his parents told him he was old and skilled enough to live on his own, and that they were going to start flying back to Pantala for safety. Before being entranced in making his cocoon, he hugged his parents goodbye. 
When he woke up, Arctiidae and Egle were gone, and he was on his own. And though this was his home, he figured he needed to get away from this place as soon as possible, before any Pyhrrian dragons find him and his empty cocoon. So, he ripped the cocoon from the floor, cleaned up some of the messes, and went on his way to find a new home, which he eventually did. It was a tiny cavern made of twisted roots and mud closer to the IceWing kingdom. Of course, this slightly colder climate took a while to get used to. 
A few years later of visiting Wishbender and surviving on his lonesome, he was taking a nap after a long, hard day's work of collecting berries for his duck meal. But he woke up in a different location, with Sunslinger and Ghost standing over him. 
That is Creatonotos' backstory up until the plot for A Thousand Souls.
== Relationships ==
=== Sunslinger ===
Creatonotos thinks that Sunslinger needs friends. He thinks that she is too hard on the outside and needs to be chipped away. But once she shows her much more friendly side to her after he shares his GhostSilk secret with his new friends, he accepts that with open arms. He thinks that she is a fairly good-looking dragoness and that she is admirable for serving her continent selflessly. 
=== Ghost ===
Creatonotos thinks that Ghost is a good friend, and just a good dragon in general. He didn't put up much of a fight listening to Creatonoto's story, and he's one of his biggest supporters. They get along very well.
=== Wishbender ===
Creatonotos doesn't know where he would be without Wishbender. They are best friends, since dragonethood. Creatonotos and his family have been buying from him for years, so they are very tightly-knit. He admires Wishbender's musical talents and wishes to be as down-to-earth as him. Creatonotos sees Wishbender as a brother, and sees a little bit of his sister in him. They have never fought, not once.
=== Arctiidae ===
Arctiidae was Creatonotos's source of information about the outside world when he was a dragonet. He thinks of him as very honest, kind, and loyal. He hopes to find him soon in Pantala, should he go there. He is glad he taught him how to read, write, and all the warnings that Pyhrria held in store for him.
=== Egle ===
Despite being tougher than rocks and borderline militaristic, Creatonotos loves his mother dearly and would never say anything bad-mouthed about her. He is grateful for her teaching him the skills he needed to survive out in hostile territory. He hopes to find her soon in Pantala.
