Tødestrieb

**"** *Her name is German for Death Drive, which leads to her nickname. Quite true to that, after her victims' deaths she will drive them down a path for some other dragon to find. If you find yourself to be a witness of one of her attacks and she sees you it's highly likely you're finished. Be unable to hide from her or get away fast enough and you end up another kill on her tally.* **"** - A dragon speaking about Tødestrieb's name, infamous legacy, and behavior

**Tødestrieb** (トデストゥリブ, *Todesuturibu*), sometimes **Todestrieb,** is the second of Yuhun's four female *Dragon Adventures* Tosknirs, and her most prominent dragon of the species. She is also known as either **Death Drive** ( シ・ドライブ, *Shi Doraibu*) or **Cold-Blooded Tødestrieb** (レイケツナ・トデストゥリブ, *Reiketsuna Todesuturibu*). Tødestrieb has a major part in the lore of Yuhun's *Dragon Adventures* dragons' lore as legendary Tosknir prominent knowing for having an infamous, mean, decade-long kill streak.

## Name

**Tødestrieb's** name is meant to be written as **Todestrieb,** which is German for **Death Drive,** or, more specifically, *the drive towards death and destruction.* The word's meaning inspired Tødestrieb's nickname; however, her *name* in particular was inspired by the album and song of the same name, both by Japanese singer Sennzai.

She is referred to sometimes by dragons as **Shi Doraibu**- which is Japanese for **Death Drive.**

## Appearance

### Ideal appearance

**Tødestrieb,** as mentioned at the top of the page, is a *Dragon Adventures* Tosknir- a wyvern-like dragon adorned with ice spikes and armor plates. She is highlighter themed, though, unlike the regular variant of the highlighter theme (which has Pitch in the first two colour slots), she is planned to have either Night or Black in her first two slots, which will make her what the *Dragon Adventures* community would call a Night variant highlighter or Black variant highlighter- Yuhun has stated that the variant of highlighter that Tødestrieb will be depends on which of the two colours (Night and Black) she gets first. The 'shade' of highlighter that Tødestrieb is planned to be is Smoke, a deep, dark shade of blue.

Material-wise, Tødestrieb is intended to have Ice in the first two material slots, and Glass in her tertiary material slot (though a typical highlighter themed dragon would have Neon in all three material slots). She is also meant to be fully mutated.

### Current appearance

Currently, **Tødestrieb** has Night in her primary colour slot, Depth in her secondary colour slot, and Whisp in her tertiary colour slot. She has the limited-time Opulence element from 2021's Black Friday event and (thankfully) is fully mutated.

Initially, Yuhun was going to make her tertiary material Neon (as a typical 'highlighter' dragon would), but she changed her mind and went for Glass in the tertiary colour slot: she eventually achieved this. Beforehand, Tødestrieb had Neon in said material slot as initially desired.

## Personality

**Tødestrieb's** personality may very much be the most violent among Yuhun's dragons; she is ruthless and kills her victims in terrifying ways. Quite true in a certain manner to her name meaning **Death Drive** in German, once her victim is dead, Tødestrieb drives the body down a nearby path, and leaves it somewhere for someone else to find. She also does not take kindly to being approached suddenly, fixing the approaching dragon with a sharp, deathly stare before attacking- and possibly killing- them. It's likely that if you witness Tødestrieb kill, she will see you, and if you can't run fast enough to escape her, you're finished.

It is also believed that no dragon in Yuhun's *Dragon Adventures* fictional lore has survived Tødestrieb's attacks, as she is stated to have not lost a single fight and doesn't let anyone who sees her get away alive.

## Cameos

### "Death Drive"

When Todesuu reveals to Guren how she named herself, she also reveals a drawing depicting "the Tødestrieb, and at the end of it, a cold-blooded wyvern of death". This is probably a reference to **Tødestrieb** herself: "cold-blooded" refers to her nickname, **Cold-Blooded Tødestrieb,** and "wyvern of death" would refer to Tødestrieb's species, the Tosknir (sometimes referred to as the Ice *Wyvern*) and her title of **Death Drive.**

## Relationships

### Kokugen and Einherjar

It's known that Kokugen, along with Einherjar, was shocked when the news of **Tødestrieb's** brutal attacks broke out long ago (although when they first heard about them, they did not know Tødestrieb's name), and even more shocked- and horrified, when they discovered that the dragon's victims died and what happened to any dragon who happened to witness them if they failed to escape. Not only this, but the name of the dragon behind the attacks terrified both Kokugen and Einherjar despite their fearless personality- and, in addition to this, **Tødestrieb** was believed at the time that she began this mean streak to be not even a decade old, horrifying the other two Tosknirs due to how young she was.

Almost one and a half decades later, while **Tødestrieb** is still keeping up her kill streak, and a tag-team battle league is held, prior to its start, Kokugen, together with Einherjar, tells a story of Tødestrieb to some dragons, including legends like Regalia Skylord and Lucid & Velvet a few times over a short period of time. At one point, she and Einherjar react frightened to Ikari asking if *Tødestrieb* is the name of the Tosknir who Kokugen is telling a story about, due to Tødestrieb's legacy having scared them to the point where they almost cannot bring themselves to speak her name.

When Kokugen and Einherjar meet **Tødestrieb** for the very first time, she tells the legends directly to their faces that she knew the whole time that they were scared of her, and says in a sadistic manner that she finds it cute and funny.

It was hinted at some point that Kokugen developed somewhat of a neutral, love-hate kind of relationship with Tødestrieb.

## Trivia

* Tødestrieb is currently the only known dragon in *Dragon Adventures* belonging to Yuhun that has a special letter in their name.
* Tødestrieb and one of Yuhun's other dragons, Vu Endetta, share multiple traits:
	+ They are both Tosknirs.
	+ They are both highlighter themed, although Vu Endetta is intended to be a Whisp variant *reverse* highlighter (which would have a shade of white in the dragon's first two colour slots).
	+ They are both intended to be fully mutated.
	+ They both appear in at least one of Yuhun's *Dragon Adventures* fan-fictions.
	+ They were both obtained by Yuhun during the Winter 2021 Event.
		- Because they are differing colours of the Highlighter Theme, Yuhun joked that Tødestrieb and Vu Endetta are essentially polar opposites.
* Tødestrieb is one of several dragons belonging to Yuhun that is named after a song or album by Sennzai, one other dragon being Rugie.
* Yuhun stated once that she intentionally planned on making Tødestrieb a highlighter Tosknir to reference the black dress worn by the girl that appears in her album namesake's jacket art.
	+ This particular girl was the inspiration for the main protagonist and main antagonist of "Death Drive", Todesuu.
* Tødestrieb was the first of Yuhun's four Tosknirs to get their page on this wiki.
* Tødestrieb's page may have been the third page on this wiki, and the 2nd if you exclude the main page.
* She has been stated by Yuhun to be one of her most valuable dragons, if not her most valuable, due to Tosknirs' once high demand and rarity, the rarity of the Opulent element, and theme, among other factors.
	+ Heretical later surpassed this after an (inevitable) spike in her species' price.
* Tødestrieb was called by someone on the official *Dragon Adventures* Discord server as "a dragon that would laugh at your funeral".
* Tødestrieb was obtained in what Yuhun called "an amusingly coincidental" manner:
	+ The date on which Tødestrieb was obtained was the 27th of December, 2021: the 2nd anniversary of Sennzai releasing the video for the full version of the song Tødestrieb.
	+ She was hatched out of the **27th** egg she hatched on said date.
	+ Though it is unrelated to the matter, on the 27th, she also happened to collect **27** Winter 2021 Eggs.
* There was one occasion where Yuhun colour-shuffled Tødestrieb and she ended up with the colours of the Royal Preset Potion (which is Purple-Urchin-Gold) in the correct order.
