Zeppla is a Puffertail appearing in Dragons: Rescue Riders.

Biography[]

Adventure with the Rescue Riders[]

In "Puff Enuf", Zeppla ended up on Huttsgalor on her way home. She was attacked by wolves, so she hid inside the Maze Caves and eventually got lost. She was saved by the Rescue Riders, a group of dragons and humans that could talk to dragons. They brought her to their village, where they impressed her with various rescues. They then presented The Roost to her, which impressed her even more. She asked them if they could teach her how to save others, so that she could do it too on her own island. They agreed, and she started training with Winger. However, Zeppla kept inflating out of embarrassment, which slowed down her training. When Elbone went missing and the Rescue Riders decided to go look for him, Zeppla joined them, and accidentally got lost. She was found by Dak and Winger, who helped her search for Elbone. They managed to find him stuck in quicksand, and Zeppla's inflating also knocked Dak, Winger, and Cutter into the sand. However, she was able to get all of them out by inflating and shooting her flame, which propelled them through the sky. Returning to the Roost, Zeppla thanked the Rescue Riders for their efforts in teaching her and said goodbye as she departed to her island.

Hypnotised by Melodia[]

Zeppla was among the many dragons that fell under the hypnosis of a Songwing named Melodia. She was forced to sing alongside her on an island close to Huttsgalor. When the Rescue Riders temporarily stopped Melodia from singing using Dragon Pepper dust, Zeppla and the rest of the hypnotised dragons followed the group to Huttsgalor. Upon arriving, they started singing in unison as to help Melodia find them. After a sleepless night, the Songwing arrived on Huttsgalor and the dragons reunited with her. Zeppla and the rest of the group then proceeded to sing alongside Melodia, as she hypnotised the humans as well. After several attempts made by the Rescue Riders, Zeppla and everyone else that was hypnotised was freed from the Songwing's voice, when Leyla managed to sing more beautifully than Melodia.

Gaining a New Team Member[]

At the end of Teamwork is Magic, the rescue riders meet up with her wondering if she's still looking for teammates to join her "Inflato Force 5" team. They introduce her to Sparkle, and when they find they like a lot of the same things, Zeppla excitedly invites Sparkle to join, and they are both very happy together.

First Team Rescue[]

She and Sparkle try to rescue Elbone from falling from a tree toward hungry wolves in The Inflato-Force Awakens, but they both crash in a bush due to the fact that they never really made any rescues before. Back at the Roost, she takes Dak's advice about gaining new team members, and the rescue riders hold a day of tryouts for all other dragon friends of the riders. Her mom, Zee Zee arrives hoping to join as well, but Zeppla isn't happy about it, because of her mother's overprotective nature. Nevertheless, she lets her tryout anyway. After so many tests and trials, Whiffy is selected to be a new member for the team, but her mom still wishes to be part of it just to keep an eye on her daughter. When the team goes out to find Elbone and Finngard, they run into some wolves and Zee Zee ends up stuck under a fallen tree with Dak and Winger. Zeppla was nervous and unsure of what to do, but with advice from Winger, she builds up confidence and leads her team to the rescue. After that, her mom finally realizes she doesn't need to keep being near her, and that Zeppla can take care of herself.

Physical Appearance[]

Zeppla is dirty yellow with a pale underbelly. She has a light brown back and bumps, and dark brown claws. Her eyes are light blue.

Personality[]

Zeppla is very playful and full of energy. She claims to be an excellent dancer and singer, and also a fast learner. She gets excited about almost everything new, which causes her to inflate. She admires the Rescue Riders for helping those in need and tries to be like them as much as possible.

Abilities and Skills[]

Inflating: As a Puffertail, Zeppla has the ability to inflate at almost four times her size, in order to scare off predators. However, Zeppla also inflates when she gets excited, embarrassed, nervous or proud, which often cause those around her to be knocked over.

Firepower: Zeppla can breathe orange fire, in order to propel herself through the air while being inflated.

Strength: Zeppla can carry the weight of three dragons and two humans while being inflated, albeit she was helped by wind currents. She is also able to knock multiple targets with extreme ease.

Relationships[]

Elbone[]

Elbone saw Zeppla in the maze caves, so back in Huttgalor, he told the Rescue Riders that there was a large dragon in the Maze caves. Zeppla later saved the fisherman from sinking in quicksand and smiled when Elbone called her 'awesome'.

Melodia[]

Zeppla appeared as one of the hypnotized victims of Melodia when she used her hypnotizing voice.

Rescue Riders[]

Zeppla admires the Rescue Riders a lot because of their actions of saving others and wishes to be like them. She decided to make her own team of rescuers on Puffertail Island, in honor of her friends.
