Donald & Douglas

**Donald** and **Douglas** (commonly known as the **Scottish**/**Caledonian twins**) are black male steam locomotive dinosaurs. They are close, recurring allies of the Steam Team monsters, along with Duck and Oliver.

## General information

### **Designs**

In terms of general body shapes, Donald and Douglas are both compact and strong. Their scales and spines are a shadowy black color, while the webbing and fins are bold red in contrast. Their manes are mostly a teal-ish or navy hue. Their Showa iterations in particular were essentially a "recycled" and recolored version of Edward's design, albeit with obvious tweaks. In later eras however, they possessed unique traits such as long horns and nameplates to help separate them from Edward further. They wear black neckties with the numbers 9 and 10 respectively.

### **Roars**

The twins' roars were made from bouncing a steel spring ball, then heavily editing the noise to resemble a loud and strange animalistic wail.

### **Abilities**

#### **Physical capabilities**

Donald and Douglas are quick, agile, and are able to lift weights considerably heavier than they themselves are. They can resist many forms of conventional weaponry. Their tails and claws can naturally counter against opponents and other obstacles. Their spikes are also sturdy enough to shatter bladed weapons with ease. As sea creatures, they are impressive swimmers. Their lower tail fins allow for turning control while maneuvering in the water.

In addition, the twins are highly tolerant of harsh and snowy weather conditions. They have developed keen senses to help themselves read surroundings and traverse through blizzards with relative ease. Exceptionally, their hide enables the twins to be stealthy in environments under low lighting or complete darkness.

#### **Energy capabilities**

##### Fire beams

The twins’ breath attacks are low-heated, red streams with white cores. Silvery energy beams are formed when both streams collide. The tactic is most useful when the twins need to accumulate maximum power.

### **Weaknesses**

The twins' slender frames and lean mass make them comparatively lightweight against those with a glaring advantage in strength and mass. This is a common vulnerability shared with many other monsters bearing naturally similar anatomy.

### **Personalities**

The Scottish twins are typically headstrong and peppery, even towards each other. Donald is optimistic yet easily irritable, whilst Douglas is pessimistic but calmer in nature. Like all siblings, it isn't uncommon for them to fall out, but they do not prefer staying away from each other for very long stretches of time. Their dramatically contrasting plans and ideas may risk one or the other being driven into a dangerous position. In a brutal scenario, this would be the twins at their worst. Although it happens rarely, there is a chance for the twins to resort to violence upon each other — once it happens, it is usually difficult to stop.

Despite their frequently argumentative nature, they actually do seem fairly competent and coordinated in the field of brutal confrontation - which is the exact opposite mentality for Bill and Ben. When the two are apart, the twins noticeably prove to be a lot more behaved, though Donald may still show signs of impulsivity whereas Douglas displays being more reserved somewhat.
