Squid

Appearance
Squid has emerald-green scales and green wings. He is rather small, barely the size of a three-year-old dragonet.

Personality
Squid is obsessed with treasure, gold, and jewels (a trait similar to many dragons), even more than fame and peace, and claims that all of the Talons are 'lame' because none of them give him treasure. He is seen as whiny and wimpy and considers Ochre, Viper, and Flame as bullies, and Fatespeaker to have "lost her marbles".

In addition, he often tries to lord it over the others that his father is the leader of the Talons of Peace, although this only annoys the false dragonets and usually leads to them attacking him. He is shown to be cowardly and childish when it comes to real work. Squid is frequently whiny, as he believes he is famous and gets irritable when he is not treated like it. He believes he is much too important, being the son of the leader of the Talons of Peace, to interact appropriately. He is confused and upset when Morrowseer sends him away, saying that his father is the leader of the Talons and that everyone had to treat him nicely, showing that he thinks very highly of himself.

When Morrowseer called him "small and hardly a four year old", he claimed that he "has a big personality". In fact, Squid claims that his big personality makes up for his small size.
