Biography
Chradh is a brown scorpiontail dragon bonded to Garrick Tavis in Rebecca Yarros’s Empyrean series. In 631 AU, he bonded Garrick despite previously bonding Garrick’s ancestor—a hidden fact that gave Garrick two signets.
During Fourth Wing, Chradh trains with Garrick and aids in covert Poromish weapons hand-offs before joining the riot at the Battle of Resson. In Iron Flame, he helps rescue Violet Sorrengail, warns of dangerous runes before the Battle of Basgiath, and fights alongside Fourth Wing.
By Onyx Storm, Chradh learns of Xaden’s venin transformation and joins the quest squad. He survives Theophanie’s tornado with scars along his jaw and shows his ferocity when he sets fire to a forest after Garrick is poisoned.
Physical Description
- A brown scorpiontail dragon with golden eyes.
- Missing several scales along his jaw after being struck by Theophanie’s tornado.
Powers and Abilities
Like other dragons, Chradh can breathe fire and fight using his scorpiontail, talons, and fangs. He is unusually sensitive to runes, able to detect and locate runed items more easily than most dragons.
