Monster

Monster is uncontested as the most mean-spirited dragon of the Realm of the Corvidae, with dragons both young and old fearing him. He's snarky and sarcastic, not caring if his caustic remarks hurt any dragon's feelings.

Despite his mean nature, his closest friend is Hikuliak, the friendliest dragon of the clan, much to the confusion of everyone else. Even his Tundra friend isn't safe from Monster's biting attitude, but he grows more and more frustrated with the fact that his kind friend seems quite unfazed by it.

Coming from the Wind Flight, Monster has put a great deal of work into developing his talents of writing and storytelling. He loves to tell tales of the past, whether or not they're the full truth. The Mirror dragon holds a great deal of knowledge about history, sometimes dreaming of the things he learns in explicit, strangely vivid detail.

As such, he takes on the role of dream guardian within the clan. On the occasion of dragons being plagued with dream troubles, Monster is able to work with the witch priest Psionic to enter other dragons' dreams and help work out the problems. His friendship with Hikuliak started when they worked together to save Kojak when she was trapped in her nightmares.

Monster spent his earlier youth with a clan of Mirrors, a troupe of fighters who dedicated their lives to battle, not just with the Beastclans but with other dragons. They believed that all of a dragon's time should be spent with learning the art of battle, and only the art of battle. Due to this, they often mocked Monster for his pursuing of the arts of writing and storytelling, and for his appearance. They sarcastically gave him the nickname of "Monster," saying he was far too soft for a Mirror and he was not a real dragon, and that he could never fight another dragon.

So, he took the nickname and made it his own, aiming to turn it to the truth. From the clan he learned to be cruel, but before he could master it he was cast out for his weakness. It was from these dragons that he learned to strike a dragon first, whether physically or emotionally, so they would not be able to strike him. Monster seeks to protect himself from being hurt in the way that Mirror clan hurt him.
