Physical Appearance[]

Burple is a purple, stout, four legged dragon, with a pale purple underbelly. He has two teeth in his lower jaw that stick out when his mouth is closed. He has small wings and bumps all over his body.

Personality[]

“ Burple is a big, loveable, easy going guy! ”
  — DreamWorks Jr.  

Easily the most sensitive of the group, Burple is peaceful and difficult to anger. Burple may see Winger as a role model, due to his high speed flying. His infectiously pleasant attitude often endears him to others, and he returns the affection in return.

Due to his sensitivity, he is also prone to fear and anxiety, and often feels isolated and inferior because he is physically slower than the others. He can also be smart and clever at times. While it rarely happens, if anyone does anything to put his friends in danger, he can get pretty angry as seen in The Incredible Burple when Axel Finke tricked the riders into going to Volcano Island to rescue a dragon, when it was really the Mechano-Dragon.

Abilities and Skills[]

Rock spitting: As a Rockspitter, Burple uses the rocks and various items in his stomach for launching them at high speed as a means of defense. He can even use different size rocks for different purposes as he ricochet a small pebble to free himself and friends his from the belzium magnet in the "Hunt for the Golden Dragon".

Barrel Roll: Burple is able to roll into a ball shape and roll along the ground. He can get up to high speed and power, enough to even break through a rock wall.

Item Storage: As a Rockspitter dragon, Burple has four stomachs, three of which are used for storage. He typically stores rocks of various sizes, but can also store other items such as tools or apples. The stomachs are soft enough to house eggs safely without cracking them.

Fire-Starting: Burple has devised a trick to spit a rock out and hit another rock near flammable material such as wood. This creates a spark to light the material and start a fire.

Back Burp: Burple calls his passing of gas from the rear a 'back burp'. While not a particularly extraordinary ability, he is able to start utilizing it as a source of propulsion, as seen in "Slobber Power".

Thick Skin: According to Leyla in "Hot, Hot, Hot", Burple has the thickest skin which makes him temporarily restraint to high temperatures.

Magnetism: If Burple eats iron ore and when close to belzium his body will become magnetic.

Strength: Like the rest of the group, Burple has proven himself to be very strong carrying from barrels to riders and baby dragons on back with ease.
