Six-Claws


 * "You're to come before the Outclaws as well. Thorn wants to know why you're following those scumdwellers."
 * —Six-Claws to Sunny about Fierceteeth, Preyhunter, and Strongwings, The Brightest Night

Six-Claws is an adult male SandWing who was introduced in The Brightest Night. Formerly an Outclaw, he is one of Thorn's most loyal supporters. He is in a relationship with Kindle and currently resides in the SandWing stronghold. Before joining the Outclaws, he was a high-ranking general in Burn's army.

Appearance Edit
Six-Claws has light yellowish-brown scales and large wings. His side is marked with old scars, and he has six claws on each foreleg, instead of the usual five like all other dragons, hence the name, Six-Claws.

Personality Edit
Six-Claws is a very loyal soldier and is one of the few dragons Thorn is capable of putting her complete trust into. He is very kind and treats Sunny like a family member and Thorn as his leader. He loves his daughter, a dragonet named Ostrich, dearly, and had also loved his family. He is gruff and firm, but he is also loving and protective. He is witty, similar to Qibli, and he can figure things out somewhat quickly. He appears to have a sense of humor, as well as common sense as to getting out of Burn's army before he got himself killed. Six-Claws seems very attentive, as he can spot Sunny while she is hiding in the sand. He doesn't like sitting still for long, calling it "torture".

Kindle Edit
Six-Claws loves his partner and devotes himself to protect her, as they fled during the war to avoid Burn's wrath. He describes her as calm and efficient, the qualities which he liked in her. They are currently raising a daughter together.

Ostrich Edit
Six-Claws loves his daughter dearly and is also protective of her. He was quick to rescue her when she was taken hostage by Onyx. He also is very encouraging to his daughter as shown when they were digging through the sand to find Smolder and Onyx.

Dune Edit
He and Dune were great friends since dragonethood and were often with one another. They also entered the SandWing army together. Six-Claws was horrified to see Burn badly injure his friend, causing him to leave Burn's army.

Burn Edit
Six-Claws once had great respect for Burn and worked in her army for twelve years. However, their relationship was strained after he argued against her orders, in which he realized it was unsafe for him to stay. He escaped alongside Kindle and a badly-injured Dune to the Outclaws. Before she died, Burn wanted Six-Claws' talons to put on display in the Weirdling Tower if he ever died in battle.

Thorn Edit
Six-Claws is very loyal to Thorn and is one of the few dragons Thorn trusts. They are on good terms. He is currently her top general.

Sunny Edit
He is respectful of Sunny and treated her like a family member upon meeting her. Sunny once thought that Six-Claws might be her father and Ostrich might be her half-sister.

Smolder Edit
Six-Claws went on many missions with Smolder, but it is said that they didn't talk much. Smolder talks to him about why he thinks Burn and Blister are planning something. Smolder called Six-Claws "Strong and sensible"
