'Squid' is an adult male SeaWing who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom (book)|The
Hidden Kingdom. He was a member of the Talons of Peace#The False
Dragonets|false dragonets of destiny as a replacement for Tsunami, and
is currently a member of the Talons of Peace. He is the son of Nautilus,
who was formerly the leader of the Talons of Peace.

## Description

Squid has emerald-green scales and green wings. He is rather small,
barely the size of a three-year-old dragonet. He is much scrawnier than
Winter and smaller than Riptide.

## Personality

Squid is obsessed with treasure, gold, and jewels, even more than fame
and peace. He is frequently whiny, as he believes he is famous and gets
irritable when he is not treated like it. He often thinks very highly of
himself, due to him being both the son of the leader of the Talons of
Peace and a Dragons|dragonet of destiny. As such, he often tries to lord
this fact over the other false dragonets, despite being often met with
backlash. When Morrowseer called him small, he claimed that he "has a
big personality", like he had been told that enough times for everyone
to know it was true. He is shown to be cowardly and childish when it
comes to real work.

## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

left The Lost Heir

Squid was mentioned indirectly when Morrowseer had Nautilus explain to
Blister that they had a set of alternate dragonets.

left The Hidden Kingdom

In the prologue, Squid was being beaten up in a practice
fight with the other false dragonets. Nautilus brought him over with him
when he spoke to Morrowseer, so the others would not bite him. He was
then revealed to be Nautilus' son. He said that the others were mean and
bullied him, except for Fatespeaker, though he thought she was weird.
When Morrowseer suggested letting him be a dragonet of destiny, Squid
accepted with the promise of treasure. He then ran off to tell the
others how important he was.

In the epilogue, he was in the NightWing island|Night Kingdom, missing
his father and wondering why he had let them take him away. When
Fatespeaker saw a "vision" regarding a walrus, Squid was shown to be
rather irritated, throwing a leftover bone from Ochre's dinner at her.

left The Dark Secret
Squid claimed that he told Fatespeaker not to wander off and he hoped
that Morrowseer punished her. When the idea of replacing Fatespeaker was
introduced, he asked to be the one to "push her off a cliff." He
attempted to kill Starflight on Morrowseer's command but was scared off
by some NightWing guards.

When Starflight attempted to persuade the SkyWing guards to change their
allegiance to Blister, Squid was immediately recognized as a fraud, as
he was green and male, and the soldiers had seen Tsunami in The Dragonet Prophecy, who was blue and female. After
the NightWings killed the seventeen SkyWings, Squid decided that he
wanted to "quit being a dragonet of destiny." In response, Morrowseer
exiled him and Starflight privately thought that a SeaWing in SkyWing
territory would not last a day. Fatespeaker felt horrible when he left.

In the epilogue, it was shown that a spy for the Talons of Peace "by
some miracle" found him before the SkyWings, and ushered him to his
father. Squid stated to his father and Blister that he hates NightWings.

left The Brightest Night

Squid was mentioned by Nautilus as being found in the Claws
of the Clouds Mountains by one of the Talons of Peace's spies.

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

left Winter Turning

Squid was practicing his stealth approach at the Talons of Peace
hideout. He startled Winter, who then threatened to rip off his tail and
beat him with it. He was then sent away by Riptide for sneaking up on
the guests and disobeying his orders, and flew off, muttering and
whining about how his father used to be leader of the Talons of Peace
but not anymore.

father is and the fact that I'm a dragonet of destiny. I mean, really.
