Dread Monster

The dragon's body is covered in scales. Its head is elongated. The gigantic, elongated mouth of the Terrible Beast can hold five sheep at once. It is lined with sharp white teeth protruding from the lower jaw, two of which are four times longer than the others. The tongue is elongated, with two tips. Above the front of the mouth are nostrils, which serve as the respiratory organ. Between them is a sharp black horn. Above the back of the mouth are rather large, oval, yellow eyes with black vertical pupils, set close together. The eyes are almost completely covered by skin. Behind them are two long and two shorter, curved horns, which perhaps spread and become straighter with age. The head is connected to the body by a long, thin neck. A strip of long, curved, flat spines extends from the neck to the tail. They are dark at the base and lighter at the tips. The spines increase in size towards the back and tail. The dragon's wings extend from the sides of the body. Their upper surfaces bear spots and two claws. The hind ends are pointed. The wings are adapted for both flight and walking. Two legs extend from the sides of the pelvis and are curved in two places. At the rear, there is a row of five sharp claw-like appendages. The feet have five sharp claws: four in front and one on the side. The tail is long and thin. The lower body and feet are duller, while the upper body and paws are brighter. They have bright red patterns.

These dragons share the same weaknesses as most species. Dire Beasts lose concentration upon hearing the noise of shields. Such noise can even cause the dragon to lose control of its flight.

These dragons, like all reptiles, are also allergic to Blue Oleander. The scent of this blue flower causes a fatal illness. The dragon is unable to fly normally, and then even walk. It frequently vomits, accompanied by spitting. Over time, its condition worsens, and if the antidote is not administered, the Beast dies.

A Dire Beast can lose its ability to ignite and spew fire, literally dying from it. Symptoms include pale skin, lethargy, and the loss of its ability to ignite. Only the Firebeast Queen's venom can restore it. Dire Beasts have trouble turning at full speed. Pressing a Dire Beast's horns to the ground completely calms it. These dragons are very stubborn, making them difficult to train. A Titan Dire Beast loses the maneuverability of a normal specimen.

The Dire Beast's flame is its own hot saliva. This dragon spits it out and simultaneously sets it ablaze. This flame can take two forms. It can appear as a jet of fire ejected into the air. However, such a jet quickly evaporates in the air (especially in sunlight) and does not travel very far. However, sometimes, during cold weather, the Beast's saliva does not evaporate, and after traveling a certain distance, it falls to the surface and spreads like Gronckle's lava. The Dire Beast can use its flames until its supply of hot saliva is depleted. If this happens, the dragon will be unable to shoot fire until it replenishes its supply.

Interestingly, the Horrible Beast's flames generate steam when in contact with water. As demonstrated in the episode "Alvin and the Outcasts," this can be used as a good strategy when fighting enemy ships. First, create a smoke screen around the vessel by firing into the water, and then catch the enemy off guard!

This dragon has the ability to spew fire involuntarily: when coughing, sneezing, trying to put out the fire, or laughing.

These dragons have powerful jaws and tails. Dire Beasts try to flip their opponents onto their backs to gnaw through their bellies. They can use their tails to throw people away or strike dragons in combat. Another dangerous weapon in the Dire Beasts' arsenal are the long, sharp claws on their feet and wings. They are so sharp that they leave deep marks on wood. This dragon's claws can leave deep scars on the skin of their enemies.

These dragons can be aggressive toward enemies or strangers. However, they fear those who greatly outmatch them in combat power, such as the Red Death. Dire Beasts are naturally very aggressive dragons, always ready for a fight.

These dragons can be used for cargo transportation. They are able to carry heavy objects in flight, grabbing them with their paws. Terrible Beasts are good in combat. With their powerful jaws, they can throw back large dragons and Vikings. Terrible Beasts have strong necks, these dragons can hold two or more Vikings on themselves.

To tame a Terrible Beast, you must show the dragon you mean no harm, remove any weapons from its sight, and show it respect. Then, extend your hand to the dragon and, without making any sudden movements, wait until the dragon approaches. Then, slowly place your palm on its muzzle and pet it. To calm the Terrible Beast, you can press its horns to the ground.

Like most dragons, Dire Beasts are carnivorous.

Dire Beasts are primarily solitary creatures. They forage for food during the day and sleep at night, like most animals. These dragons typically use caves for shelter. Dire Beasts may form flocks for large-scale operations, such as migration. For flights to their nesting sites, these dragons may form large flocks with other species, such as Dire Nadders, Gronckles, and Nightmare Bucklers. Dire Beasts can inhabit any island with a moderate climate, water, and food. They can also use various caves as their home.
