Eruhaben

An ancient golden dragon that used to live on Mount Yellia.

Unlike most dragons, he didn't completely isolate himself and occasionally would interact with others, such as other dragons, the Elves and the World Tree. Throughout his life, he's protected many young dragons during their first growth phases and has helped save some elves, though he still chose to live on his own.

He's over 1000 years old and is reaching the end of his life, as a result, he chose to teach Raon everything he knew and made plans to pass on everything in his lair to him. He's gained a little more time however after drinking from the Ancient Artifact from the Wind Island.

After his lair was ransacked by Arm, he officially became a part of Cale's group.

## Personality

*"The members of the Dragon race were said to be selfish and egotistical. There was no way such selfish beings would happily greet each other. It was more likely that they would get into a fight with each other while saying that they were the best."*

Eruhaben is taken off-guard and surprised upon meeting Raon, who happily greets him. Eruhaben was used to dragons greeting each other with snarky comments, thus felt as if he were experiencing something rare and new for the first time in his long life. Despite his initial stupor, Eruhaben is very tolerant of Raon's unbefitting-of-a-Dragon behaviour and plays along with his excitement, often with sigh-like laughter and a relaxed expression. Despite that, he is sometimes shocked by Raon's initial sass and disrespect.

Raon once called him a *"socially awkward Golden Dragon who doesn't even know how to shake hands."*

He is warm to certain people, such as Pendrick, who he has known since the Elf was little. Gradually, he comes to care for Cale's group, often being referred to as their "gramps". Over time, he also comes to consider both Cale and Raon to be his "children".

He has a reserved personality, and thus does not wish to get involved in matters that do not affect him. He is less selfish and unlike other Dragons, he had Dragons that he kept contact with and would help them out. This was the reason why Arm did not touch him.

His personality reminds Cale of a nice old man, who grumbles while helping people. He is also a tsundere and a naturally curious creature.

## Appearance

*"It was an Elf with beautiful blonde hair. This Elf was so beautiful that even the Whales looked ugly in comparison."*

Outside of his golden dragon form, Eruhaben takes on the appearance of a beautiful blonde Elf. In that form, he has reptilian golden eyes, with vertical pupils.

He has beautiful white fingers.

Eruhaben was described beautiful in his dragon form. His gold scales were shining and was 20 meters long. His wings, horns, fangs, and claws looked vicious.

## Background

Eruhaben was more handsome than some dragons but had no choice to get mocked by other Dragons when he first found out about his attribute after his first growth phase. That mocking had continued even after he had become an adult Dragon. Even though his attribute is terrible, Eruhaben liked it a lot and ever since he became an adult Dragon, he had never lost a battle. When Eruhaben was 300 years old, he had beaten up two Dragons, who were mocking his attribute, without using his mana; he beat them up using his hands and feet and met young Mila hiding in the bushes.
