## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

#### The Hidden Kingdom

Tapir was briefly mentioned by Mangrove to Glory when she asked him
about the missing RainWings. Mangrove claimed that Tapir was the oldest
of the lost dragons, being roughly one hundred ten years of age.

While imprisoned by the NightWings, Glory was told by Kinkajou that the
food the NightWings brought the RainWings was disgusting and rotten and
that Tapir eventually let himself starve to death to avoid having to eat
it. Later, when defending Glory's decision to challenge Magnificent for
the Dragon royalty|throne, Kinkajou mentioned that Tapir, Bright, and
Orangutan had already "died awful deaths, alone and far away from
everything and everyone they loved."

## Trivia

  - Dying at around one hundred ten years old, Tapir was one of the
