Official Description[]

“	Deathburples take after their parents - lazy but kind like a Hotburple, vain yet clever like a Deadly Nadder. Nobody's getting through their knobby hides - or dodging the spikes they fling from their tails. They're flippant pranksters too, but quick to make amends when they go too far. With blazing fire breath, sharp spikes, and strong defenses, the Deathburple is more than just a pretty face. Now if only it would get out of bed?	”
	— Dragons: Rise of Berk

Physical Appearance[]

Egg[]

The egg of a Deathburple is very reminiscent of that of a Deadly Nadder. It's asymmetric, having a scale like pattern all over it. Its upper half is covered in spikes, while its lower half is covered in bumps.

Hatchling to Adult[]

The Deathburple is a four-legged dragon that inherits the heavy built of its Hotburple parent. It has broad wings with the spotted pattern of a Deadly Nadder. Its head is quite wide, having the nasal horn of a Nadder and the underbite of a Hotburple. While the Deathburple has inherited the spiky crown of a Nadder, its spikes are shorter and immobile. On its chin and amid on the sides of its body, the Deathburple has protruding hard bumps, inherited from the Hotburple. Its tail is identical to that of a Nadder, with spikes that can detach growing all the time.

Titan Wing[]

Titan Wing Deathburples are slightly bigger than their adult counterparts. Their nasal horns and crown of spikes increase significantly in size, though not much else is changed.

Abilities[]

Firepower[]

The Deathburple can produce both the magnesium fire of a Nadder and the balls of fire of a Hotburple.

Spine Shot[]

Just like its Deadly Nadder parent, the Deathburple is capable of launching the spines on its tail with high precision at targets. Some Deathburples, like Briarvane, coat their spines in poison from toads so that they can kill their victims more efficiently.

High Intelligence[]

Inherited from the Deadly Nadder side, Deathburples are very intelligent dragons. However, they often misuse their intelligence by pulling pranks of other dragons. They are also capable of empathy, comforting anyone they upset with their pranks.

Weaknesses[]

Lethargy[]

Deathburples are extremely lazy dragons, trait inherited from the Horburple side of the faimily. They sleep most of the time, leaving them vulnerable to attacks.

Behavior and Personality[]

“	That said, they are also very loyal creatures, and will erupt into a terrible flurry of spines and flames to protect anyone they have befriended.	”
	— Dragons: Titan Uprising

Deathburples have inherited the behavior from both its parent species. They are vain and fierce, as much as they are lazy and mischievous. Deathburples would rather trick other dragons into hunting food for them, instead of doing it themselves.

Deathburples are also very caring, comforting anyone they might have upset with their pranks. They live in families, with both parents taking equal care of their young. Deathburples will also look after eggs that are not their own.

Training[]

Due to their lazy nature, Deathburples can be easily trained with food. Once a bond is created, the dragons become very protective of their rider and will protect him at any costs.
