Osprey was a male adult SkyWing. He was friends with Peril and was killed by Scarlet.
Description[edit | edit source]
Osprey was an older dragon with scales that are washed-out red.[1]
Life[edit | edit source]
Osprey had a large quantity of treasure, but his tail was paralyzed by a human who tried to steal it. Osprey sold all the treasure to Scarlet in exchange for permission to live in the SkyWing Palace.[2]
At the time of Peril's hatching, Osprey was a royal guard. He witnessed Kestrel's attempted escape with Peril.[3]
During SkyWing trials, Osprey argued for the defense.[2]
During Kestrel's trial, Osprey was killed by Scarlet, who assumed he told Peril about the Champion's Shield. He was carried into the sky and died shortly after hitting the ground, unable to fly without the use of his tail.[4]

- ↑ The Dragonet Prophecy, chapter 20, paragraph 26. "The crowd’s murmuring died down as another SkyWing climbed onto the other boulder. His scales were a more washed-out red, as if they’d been scrubbed with sandstone for a long time. He moved slowly, dragging his tail behind him like a carcass."

He’s really old and almost blind. He’s nice to me, though, because I’ll listen to his stories of the old days. He told me he used to have tons of treasure, but a scavenger came to steal it and managed to paralyze his tail before Osprey ate him. So now he can’t fly, and he gave all his treasure to Her Majesty so she’d let him live here.”"
- ↑ The Dragonet Prophecy, chapter 20, paragraph 60. "“You told your guards — I know, for I was one of them — to kill the other dragonet and take Kestrel back for trial. She tried to grab her daughter and fly away, but the heat of the dragonet’s scales burned her talons before she was a wingbeat into the sky, and she had to drop her. She fled, leaving her only living dragonet at your mercy.”"
- ↑ The Dragonet Prophecy, chapter 21, paragraph 7-8. "Clay watched the queen rise higher and higher above the arena. Osprey writhed in her claws, his tail hanging heavily below him. Scarlet had nearly reached the height of the wire net when suddenly she opened her talons and dropped the old dragon. He plummeted like a stone. Clay had never thought about how a dragon needs his tail for balance while flying. Osprey’s wings were slow to extend, and when they did he lurched horribly, dragged down by the useless weight of his tail."
