* BrokenAngel: He's a dragon with flightless wings.
* BuryYourDisabled: Scarlet kills him instead of taking him prisoner because of his disabilities, and slashes at his scarred wings and missing legs before she [[NeckSnap snaps his neck.]]
* ChildHater: As Clay notes, he's chosen to stay in the cave with his dragonets because he can't fly, not because he particularly likes them. ''Deserter'' shows this stems from being very nearly forced by his parents into being a teacher despite actually wanting to join the military.
* CynicismCatalyst: Having his wings destroyed by [[spoiler:Burn]] to [[spoiler:punish Six-Claws for defying her]] considerably changes him from a friendly, somewhat naive dragonet into the bitter and [[TheStoic stoic]] dragon we meet in ''The Dragonet Prophecy''.

* EasilyForgiven: Glory thinks that he is, [[spoiler: Queen Coral, on the other hand...]].
* EskimosArentReal: He expresses skepticism over stories about the world before the Scorching, since clearly scavengers couldn't ''possibly'' have had complex society like dragons do.
* ForYourOwnGood: Says this is why he keeps the dragonets in the cave, and during moments like when he and the other guardians restrain Tsunami in molten metal chains as punishment for defying the guardians in front of Morrowseer. Unlike Kestrel and Dune, who don't particularly like the dragonets but need them for the prophecy, he seems to genuinely believe this.

* TheLoad: In ''The Hidden Kingdom'', thanks to [[spoiler: being injured by Blister's venomous tail stinger]].
* LovableCoward: As shown in his narration in ''The Lost Heir'' prologue, he feels horrible about escaping when Scarlet raided the dragonets' cave, and he's a kind dragon who just thinks it would be better to escape and stay alive then to fight and [[SenselessSacrifice die pointlessly.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His joining the Talons of Peace causes [[spoiler:his wife's death]], when he steals Tsunami's egg it causes [[spoiler:Coral to kill the guards he drugged to get at it]], and when he tries to go back to the Summer Palace looking for forgiveness, [[spoiler: it leads to his son nearly being executed along with him, and then the palace being violently destroyed, leading to the deaths of many dragons.]] No wonder he feels so depressed and guilty by ''The Hidden Kingdom''...

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Six-claws.
%%* KilledOffForReal: He is [[spoiler:killed when Queen Scarlet invades the dragonets' hideout.]]
* LiterallyShatteredLives: Happens non-fatally to him when [[spoiler:Burn shatters his wings that were frozen by an [=IceWing's=] frost breath.]]
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The "in-between" one of the three guardians, for being not a particularly friendly dragon but, despite being downright abusive at times, also having moments of kindness.
* NonActionGuy: He's missing a leg and can't fly, so he can only stay in the cave and take care of the dragonets.
* NotSoStoic: He is always very serious and strict, never showing any emotion. When Scarlet invades the cave, he shows fear for the first time Clay has ever seen him do so.
* SenselessSacrifice: He dies trying to protect the dragonets from being imprisoned, but Scarlet captures them anyway.
%%* TheStoic: Is described by Clay to be harsh and serious, showing little emotion. When [[spoiler: Scarlet attacks the dragonets]], he is noted to [[NotSoStoic show fear for the first time in his life]].

[[folder:Webs]]
!!Webs - [=SeaWing=]
->"I joined the talons of peace to stop killing dragons."
A dragon who joined the Talons of Peace for peace. He was one of the dragonets guardians. Webs was the one who brought Tsunami's egg, and Glory's egg as a replacement for the [=SkyWing=] Dragonet, whose egg was smashed by Burn. Now, [[spoiler:he is a history teacher at Jade Mountain Academy.]]
----
* ActualPacifist: As the above quote shows, he takes his role as a Talon of Peace seriously and refuses to kill any dragons, even if he's willing to let others do it without intervening.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Though the one time he does fight [[spoiler: to defend the dragonets against Scarlet]], he holds his own impressively against the [[spoiler: [=SkyWings=]]] before he [[spoiler: escapes through the river.]]
* EasilyForgiven: Glory thinks that he is, [[spoiler: Queen Coral, on the other hand...]].
* EskimosArentReal: He expresses skepticism over stories about the world before the Scorching, since clearly scavengers couldn't ''possibly'' have had complex society like dragons do.
* ForYourOwnGood: Says this is why he keeps the dragonets in the cave, and during moments like when he and the other guardians restrain Tsunami in molten metal chains as punishment for defying the guardians in front of Morrowseer. Unlike Kestrel and Dune, who don't particularly like the dragonets but need them for the prophecy, he seems to genuinely believe this.
* ItsAllMyFault: Thinks this about [[spoiler: The [=SkyWings=]' attack on the Summer Palace]].
* TheLoad: In ''The Hidden Kingdom'', thanks to [[spoiler: being injured by Blister's venomous tail stinger]].
* LovableCoward: As shown in his narration in ''The Lost Heir'' prologue, he feels horrible about escaping when Scarlet raided the dragonets' cave, and he's a kind dragon who just thinks it would be better to escape and stay alive then to fight and [[SenselessSacrifice die pointlessly.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His joining the Talons of Peace causes [[spoiler:his wife's death]], when he steals Tsunami's egg it causes [[spoiler:Coral to kill the guards he drugged to get at it]], and when he tries to go back to the Summer Palace looking for forgiveness, [[spoiler: it leads to his son nearly being executed along with him, and then the palace being violently destroyed, leading to the deaths of many dragons.]] No wonder he feels so depressed and guilty by ''The Hidden Kingdom''...
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The "nice" one of the guardians, for being genuinely kind to the dragonets, an ActualPacifist and being the only one who doesn't hate [[TheUnfavorite Glory]] [[spoiler:though he's still willing to let Kestrel kill her.]]
* NonActionGuy: He doesn't like fighting at all, which is why he left the war and joined the Talons of Peace.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Deserts Queen Coral's army and joins the Talons of Peace.
* SoleSurvivor: Is the only member of the Talons outpost to survive.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Is the one guardian who is generally kind to the dragonets.

[[folder:Kestrel]]
!! Kestrel - [=SkyWing=]
->"Get down here and fight like a [=SkyWing=]!"
One of the guardians of the dragonets of destiny, alongside Dune and Webs. She seemed to be the harshest of the three.
----
* BloodKnight: She's a powerful fighter and tends to solve conflict by fighting. Clay even wonders if it's a racial trait of [=SkyWings=].
* BoardToDeath: [[spoiler: Morrowseer and Blister]] invite her to their meeting to discuss their plans for the Dragonets of Destiny and then kill her.
* BurialAtSea: Morrowseer & Blister give her one of these, only for her body to wash up and be found by the Seawings.
* BusCrash: She is killed very soon after she leaves the dragonets behind.
* ChildHater: She never ceases to remind the dragonets just how much she hates being stuck in a job taking care of them. [[spoiler:Probably because of her horrible experience with having her own dragonets.]]
* DefectorFromDecadence: The reason why she left Queen Scarlet's service.
* DrillSergeantNasty: She is supposed to be the guardian responsible for teaching the dragonets fighting, but she mostly just ends up yelling at them for being too lazy or not fighting well enough.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The dragonets' escape plan only works because she doesn't account for Starflight and Sunny working together and having empathy despite being from different tribes.
* EvilIsBigger: Not exactly evil, but she's a large dragon, especially compared to the KidHero protagonists, which underscores how dominating and threatening she is to them.
* {{Jerkass}}: She is abrasive, aggressive, and rude.
%%* KilledOffForReal: She's killed by Morrowseer and Blister when they decide [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness they no longer have any use for her]].
* MauveShirt: She's killed to show how threatening Blister is, though she had already gotten detailed characterization and a backstory by then.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The "mean" one of the three guardians, for being aggressive and abusive to all of the dragonets constantly.
* OffingTheOffspring: She was the mother of [[spoiler: twin dragonets, one with too much fire and one with too little, who are supposed to be killed. Scarlet forces her to kill one and save the other, but then goes back on her choice.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: Turns out that she's [[spoiler:Peril's]] mother. She did try to escape with her, though, and thought afterwards that [[spoiler:she]] was dead; [[spoiler:that's how she got the burn scars on her arms.]]
* [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race Gal]]: She is proud to be a [=SkyWing=] and embraces their warrior mentality.
* SadisticChoice: Was forced by Scarlet to choose [[spoiler: one of her newborn dragonets to kill]].

[[folder:Crocodile]]
!!Crocodile - [=MudWing=]:
->"Why not take the chance, if it means you can go home again?"
Webs trusted her because she saved his life once, [[spoiler:but she betrayed him and the Talons of Peace by spying on them for Burn's army.]]
----
* FalseFriend: She claims to be helping Webs out of kindness. [[spoiler:Her true motive is to find the location of the Summer Palace to destroy it.]]
* TheMole: For [[spoiler: Scarlet.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She only appears in the prologue and one other chapter of one book, but ends up causing [[spoiler: Webs' survival, Blister manipulating Coral into almost executing Webs and Riptide, Orca's statue being defeated and Auklet being born, the destruction of the Summer Palace, the [=SeaWings=] becoming neutral in the war, and the Dragonets of Destiny going to the Rainforest Kingdom (and all of the events that follow).]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: Is the Talon who intervenes to save Webs' life when the others want him dead. [[spoiler: She turns out to just be using him to find the location of the Summer Palace.]]
* VillainousRescue: Rescues Webs. [[spoiler: But only because he can lead her to the Summer Palace so Burn's army can destroy it.]]

[[folder:Asha]]
!!Asha
Clay's aunt. Cattail described Asha to be very kind, and stated that she would tell stories to dragonets about the Dragonet Prophecy.

* PosthumousCharacter: She dies in the first chapter, though her story gets discussed later in ''The Dragonet Prophecy''.
* WideEyedIdealist: She believed strongly in the prophecy and taught other dragons her idealism. It didn't end well for her.
