## Personality

King Gunnar is described as being a very prideful dragon, having a certain desdain for the Fire Dragons for having a lot of attraction when his tribe is stronger and much more feared. He takes any victory over the Fire Dragons with high regard, like how he and his tribe was able to defeat Flash Magnus who had bested Flame and Torch, the former rulers of the Fire Tribe.

Besides that, King Gunnar as shown to be a very powerful adversary, not only possessing a tremendous strength, but also a very sharp mind, coordenating his dragons in strategic plans and use their strength in advantage.

## Description in the saga

### *The Elements of Virtue*

In "The Element of Bravery, Part III - An Act of True Bravery", King Gunnar is warned by the Lord of Chaos about the arrival of Gunter, Bramble and Hawthorn and set up a trap to capture them, which works. The prisioners are brought to him and then he is ordered by the Lord of Chaos to get rid of them, with him carrying that order to his dragons. He observes as his dragons try to toss Bramble into a pit of magma, only for him to be saved by Gunter, who ends up falling into the pit. After that, he watches as the young deer unleashes his potential and defeats Gunnar's guards. The king then faces Bramble, whose new found powers are not effective on him because of the vengestone on him. When he is about to spit lava on him, Gunter appears, with both Flash Magnus and the Element of Bravery. The two battle, but with the protection granted by the Element of Bravery and his flare nature, Gunter is able to defeat him. After Gunter and the others escape thanks to Heartbeat, the Lord of Chaos appears to Gunnar to punish him.
