PRD-361 is **The End Guard**'s Prince of Infernal Ice

Do not show it fear. Do not show it a challenging look.
It feeds off of it. If you go about it the wrong way - you will die.

Notes on the Royalborn's Description

PRD-361 is, in short, colossal when standing beside the other experiments. PRD-361 surpasses even DIL-060 in size, which was admittedly not expected. The Royalborn subject has very thick, tough scales that are incredibly sharp. Even among the underbelly of the subject, it is not soft. It is a strictly rough-textured individual. It is muscular, exhibiting the prominent muscles of varying tribes. It's horns are long, and twisted with glowing photophores etched between each and every crevice. This is also a similar case in regards to talons and spines. The tail of the subject is wickedly long, likely a feature gifted through the genes of a RainWing tainting the IceWing donor's blood. The thickness of the tail, however, is through a SeaWing's part without a doubt. There are IceWing spikes that come from the tail's tip, though they vary drastically in size, and seem to shift in size. They are frequently shown with an icy display, yet the hardness matches that of the Royalborn's scales. In regards to the wings, the structure of it is similarly built to a SkyWing's, with the addition of a gradient and star-like scales on the membranes gifted through a NightWing. The gist of PRD-361's color scheme consists mainly of extremely pale blues, teals, minty greens, whites, and greys. It does have faint patterns upon it's scales, capable of shifting the placement of said patterns if the desire arises. It's eyes are mainly a shade of neon yellow, often shifting between reds and greens to depend on it's mood.

It's True Form is an extraordinary contradiction in regards to colors. When drowning within the True Form, some consider it very vaguely resembling **an ancient deity belonging to ancient history**. It acquires a secondary pair of wings - both pair now hovering from the body rather than being attached. Due to it's abilities seeming to spike in this state, it can almost entirely add or remove parts of it's appearance. It seems to only do this when in an extremely focused, provoked, or emotional state of mind. Normally within the True Form, PRD-361 has it's lower jaw unattached or even completely missing. It's tail contains a ring around it decorated with thorns that vary in size like it's own spikes. It retains it's thickness in regards to the tail and scales in general. Photophores can be found in nearly every crevice of the entity it becomes though. Some are convinced it can move it's scales individually to cause a racket in this state. Atop it's head, an evershifting crown of infernal ice hovers. It also has a HiveWing-esque horn on it's forehead, between the eyes. Aspects of it's body seem to fade into a mist or smoke more often in this form too. Do not assume it cannot be touched physically though, it is still very capable.

Notes on The Royalborn's Behavior

PRD-361 displays an incredibly arrogant and standoffish attitude. It is very proud of it's accomplishments, proving most reward systems to be incredibly effective with this subject. Empty offers of being around specific subjects work best if there is a shortage of PRD-361's food preference. This in no way means that the subject is compliant or obedient. In fact, the subject's moods vary drastically - mostly seen through switching between a sadistic, rebellious take to a sycophantic one. It is incredibly good at faking emotions if it requires an advantage, some of our mind-reading NightWings even have difficulty differentiating if it's truth or fact. Some of it's weaknesses in regards to it's personality is that it has issues reading into social cues sometimes, and has horrible timing. It does not have the strongest memory, but it can recall the bigger parts of particular events. It can be overly emotional on rare occasions, though these occasions are easier tripped in it's True Form. When taking a while to readjust from it's True Form to it's everyday one, it's personality can seem like it's split in thoughts, memories, and even the way it speaks. The worst it's been is where there's been a noticeable overlapping distinction that two voices were present when shifting back. The True Form's persona is oftentimes easiest described to be 'eerily regal' in regards to it's attitude and tone. It's True Form seems to know more than it was supposed to, but truly isn't as intelligent or observant as most of the other subjects.

Notes on the Royalborn's Skillset & Weakness

Distortion Manipulation, [Infernal] Crystallization, and the brief moments of succumbing to the influence of Cursed Magic are the most notable of the varying capabilities that PRD-361 displays. When provoked into it's true form, these three specific abilities increase in control and power drastically. Depending on the conditions, some of abilities may become faulty or less controlled and sporadic while in use.

With the ability to manipulate and distort anything - or, in short, being able to handle the younger sibling to Reality Warping - PRD-361 is capable of doing many things. We are unsure of the lengths it can go to. Currently, it has been adjusting the temperature around itself to maintain a constant chill. We are trying to make it comfortable with simpler tasks first before trying more emotion-based triggers. Within it's True Form, it exhibits a stronger grasp of what it can potentially do. Though, in either form, it is truly unaware of what it's limits are.

The crystallization is presumably the only one with a possible shot of valid reasoning that's comprehensible to the average dragon. Due to the fact it was destined to be a frostscaled IceWing at birth, it already proved it would've used ice to it's advantage. The use of this ice is noticeably different in comparison to normal ice. There's an abnormal glow and flow of heat that comes from this kind of ice. It is only partially seen through the everyday usage. Heightened through it's True Form, it could potentially force infernal ice showers from it's wings. At least, that's what others are afraid it could do. Despite this being the most logical ability, it is the most feared due to the lack of knowledge of potential outcomes.

In regards to the moments of Cursed Magic influence, nobody has a solid explanation for it yet. It seems to be a newfound ability, an infant among the other two. The only assumption as to where it came from was through it's demonic genes.

Other abilities are inherited through the gene modifications, and listed below:
* Size - As everyone part of the operation is aware, PRD-361 is the largest being to work with. When it comes to knowing of it's existence, there are three things that could be deduced immediately upon viewing.
	+ Durability - Through the size of the giant alone, as well as the modified scale thickness and constant use of crystallization.
	+ Strength - The second deduction is of the subject possessing incredible strength, which is entirely on point. Through size alone, it is capable of lifting incredible weights.
	+ High Resistance to Toxins & Parasites - Because of it's size, rough textures, and low temperatures that it radiates, it is very difficult to infect PRD-361.
* Maw Weaponry - The Royalborn is shown mostly emitting a very thick, overwhelming amount of cold fog when using his maw. The fog varies in scent (and strength of it) if exposed to a high amount of chemicals or diseases within the past 3 hours. It can also presumably spit slush.

Notes on the Royalborn's Interactions

Keep it away from DIL-060, or give the two strictly limited time to interact. It is very likely the two will either tarnish each other, or will aim to topple the system if DIL-060 is given enough motivation to do so.
