Tethys is a main character in the TIOM series. Playing a Tritagonistic role in 'The Isle of Moshkho' and a Deuteragonistic role in 'The Isle of Moshkho II'

He is a Necrorex, a species of gigantic predator native to one of Moshkho's many offshore islands, who resides on the mainland, which is odd for a member of his species. Tethys has been living with Zoroko Drozdov ever since rescuing the hybrid Dragonborne from a rampaging Were-Regulus. The two have since formed a strange relationship like an old married couple who, although they each hold profound respect for the other, constantly get on each other's nerves.

## Physical Appearance

Tethys is mainly a burnt orange color, with pale yellow back spines, and a turquoise/teal head crest.

As a Necrorex he is naturally large and physically imposing, but his missing eye and scars covering his body add a sense of grizzledness to him.

## Personality

Tethys is extremely blunt and straightforeward in his interactions with others, seeing no reason to tell people what they want to hear or otherwise beat around the bush.

Tethys loves playing pranks on others or otherwise scaring them, usually in the form of pretending to be trying to eat them.

## History

Tethys was hatched in a communal nest on the Centralian Plains of Necrorex Island along with his siblings, cousins and other babies in his pack was raised by his mother and aunts, only getting a few meaningful interactions with his father who was often away.

## Skills and Abilities

Tethys is a formidable physical fighter, experienced in fighting large beasts and smaller sentient species alike.

Tethys is adept at using his long, mobile tongue to dispatch enemies, forcing the organ down another creature's throat and using it's many sharp barbs to cause severe internal damage to the digestive and respiratory systems, before regurgitating a large amount of his highly corrosive stomach acid into these wounds. The 'Kiss-of-Death' is extremely effective at permanently debilitating opponents or more often outright killing them.

## Relationships

* **Zoroko Drosdov** - Tethys met Zoro when the hybrid Dragonborne was being attacked by Were-Regulus, fighting off the Were-Dragon and saving Zoro. Since then the two have formed a friendship/business partnership.
* Diesel - Diesel is Tethys' most loyal companion. Tethys sees the little bird almost like a child of his. The pair met long ago on frigid winter's night and have been together ever since.
* **Ophelia Moore**
* **Obi Moore**
* **Weddell Shackleton** - Tethys sees Weddell almost as a son of sorts.
* **Regulus Edgeworth** - Although Tethys does not like Regulus, he respects him for his Were-Dragon form's power, taking any opportunity to fight an equally formidable opponent as himself.

## Trivia

* Tethys was the first character created for TIOM, alongside Castiel
	+ Originally Tethys' name in those original drafts was Regent, it was later changed due to confusion with the recently renamed Regulus.
	+ In the original drafts, Tethys was portrayed as a grizzled old sheriff, much more socially capable and with a more rigid sense of morality, leaning towards a 'Lawful Good' alignment.
