Who Is Darkstalker?
Darkstalker is one of the three main protagonists of the Darkstalker new adventure series. He is considered by many to be the most dangerous dragon of his era, and rightly so. As one of the most Powerful Dragon Pyrhhia has ever seen, his ability to mind-read, coupled with other prophetic powers, is what causes despair for the world at large.
Darkstalker The Dangerous Dragon Appearance
The dragon known as Darkstalker is a fearsome ebony black creature with midnight-black wings. He has one silver teardrop scale on each of his eyes. His dark, pupil-less eyes seem to pierce your soul. He is three times bigger than other dragons, thus adding to the "dangerous dragon" title.
Personality
Darkstalker could very much fall in the realm of INTJ on the personality trait. He is confident to the point that it may come off as arrogant. He is very self-assured, intense, defiant, observant, and proud.
Vengeance Is A Defining Trait Of Darkstalker
Darkstalker feels like he's been getting double-crossed by certain characters in the story. He's been betrayed both by those he thought were his allies and those who claimed to be working on his behalf of him. For someone like Darkstalker, who values vengeance above all else, it feels like these betrayals have left him bitter and angry.
Explore The Story Of Darkstalker: A Misunderstood Hero?
In this epic, engaging story, readers will find Darkstalker's morality very blurry. To Darkstalker, he is very much the hero in his own story, but to those around him, he is the villain. This dynamic makes him a much more alluring protagonist.

Gr 4-7--Thousands of years before the time of the Dragonet Prophecy, Darkstalker is born to parents from warring tribes--Arctic, an Icewing; and Foeslayer, a NightWing. Arctic is an animus, a rare dragon so powerful and dangerous that some tribes don't even allow them to live. Each time an animus uses magic, he loses a piece of his soul. Darkstalker has inherited his father's magical ability, along with the gift of prophecy. He knows his future involves a NightWing named Clearsight, and she, a seer herself, is also aware that their fates are entwined. Far away in the SeaWing kingdom, a terrible tragedy brings another animus, Fathom, into their lives. Fathom is tasked with controlling the carefree and arrogant Darkstalker, who casts spell after careless spell, putting the dragonets, and all of Pyrrhia, at risk. This first book in the "Legends" series is a prequel to "Wings of Fire" and is middle grade high fantasy at its most fun. The story moves along at a breakneck pace as the dragons face dangerous situations, cast enchantments, and even fall in love. Fully fleshed-out worlds, sarcastic dragon humor, and an intriguing backstory will more than please the many loyal fans of the original series.
