Kind || Helpful || Reserved || Soft Spoken || Timid

Interactions
Dullahan prefers to avoid confrontation and is, honestly, a bit of a pushover. He prefers to keep to himself, or the company of a select few. He doesn’t like to express his problems and would rather deal with things himself than feel more like a burden than he already has been in the past.

He is wary of others, and would rather himself scarce than fight with someone.

History

Though he doesn’t remember it, Dullahan hatched in a small, abandoned nest on Isla Pera with his sister, Callahan, and was raised by Layla who at the very least, made sure that they didn’t starve. They were often left to their own devices, and developed a strong bond while their adoptive mother was off hunting, becoming a capable hunting team.

When the twin tropeos Libre and Largo blew up the dam, Dullahan got caught in the floodwaters and was washed away. Callahan was alone.

The water was turbulent, and dark, and then...well, he doesn't remember. His memories start when he woke up on the shores of Isla Kela. Dehydrated, battered, bruised, disoriented, and alone.

Thankfully, he wasn’t alone for long. Though he did wander for a while, he eventually found himself in the company of a small family of utahs living in a motel - Holiday, Moe, and his pet rat Tortellini. Learning that they had a grandfather suchomimus was… alarming, but sweet all the same. He spent a long time with them, recovering his strength and adjusting to the new life he was apparently going to lead with little recollection of who he actually was, and distant dreams of a smoking mountain.

When the volcano erupted on Isla Pera, it became rapidly apparent that his dreams were a reality - a clue to his past. The only problem was that Pera was an entirely different island, and he had to figure out how to get there. Uncertain and anxious, he almost abandoned the concept - until he crossed paths with the bright, encouraging, charming Erebus. The two began to spend more and more time together, Erebus coaxing Dullahan away from the safety and comfort of the motel to get him to spread his wings and see more of the world. He would even try to help Dullahan put together the puzzle pieces of the life he had only vague memories of.

Fun Facts:

• Prefers ambush hunting, and is incredibly adept at using the terrain to his benefit
• Not very strong, prefers to run away or climb trees to escape conflict, but will fight if pushed
• Knows now that the smoking mountain in his dreams is a real place - and longs to be able to reach the distant shores and remember where he came from
