Profile ED-1147: Monti

Name: Monti

 

Gets on best with: Leshen, Aiko, Tima, Akeem
Dislikes but Tolerates: Rivia, Scamp, Bean, most of Fidelia's dragons

 

Monti, while still aggressive and snappy, is more bark then bite these days. He's trying to curb his unending temper as best he can in order to keep the home he's found within Malakai's 'family', as the vernid and his dark/earth hybrid Rivia put it. Mal has started to teach him that screaming out his anger is better then *actually* biting and yeeting them into the sun like he did previously, and over time this has mellowed him out into being the grouchy, but reliable uncle of the group that takes up any job thats too heavy for Rivia to sort out.

This large dino chicken dragon has the unfortunate add-on of being claustrophobic. He hates small spaces and places he feels crowded in to the point where if he's staying somewhere for a long time, he'll rip up and rearrange the environment to be a wide strip of loose earth and an unobstructed view of the sky. Because of this, Malakai has started to re-use camp grounds instead of wandering wherever the wind takes him like he used to in order to both save the poor trees from being ripped from their spaces of dirt, and to make Monti more comfortable. 

Monti is also very useful in controlling Leshen's temper tantrums, and is often seen chasing the murderous creature around once Malakai realises he's gone. Monti is also afraid of Rivia after his defeat in the old Naki desert farm where he met the duo for the first time, but like hell he'd tell her that, or anybody else. 

He walks with a slight limp because of them both, Rivia's tail spikes having done some serious damage to his thigh. This will heal over time,  but the limb will remain. His right side is weaker because of it. Enjoys the feeling of sand underfoot, and misses the more deserty area he called home previously a lot sometimes. Doesn't mind babysitting the hatchlings but pretends he does.
