Chradh, Fourth Wing: Garrick's Dragon, Two Signets

A stubborn ass with a very useful nose — Garrick's words, not ours. The dragon who sniffs out the venin's iron lure boxes before anyone's close enough to die on them.

Garrick's brown scorpiontail: golden-eyed, jaw-scarred, rune-attuned, and the quiet mechanism behind one of the series' biggest second-signet reveals.

The rune-sense · Why he matters

Not flavour. Load-bearing.

Chradh is unusually sensitive to runes, and it's how the squad finds the iron lure boxes the venin come for — at Resson, later around Basgiath. A dragon who smells the trap before it springs is the least flashy edge in the fight and one of the most useful.

The second signet · What he carries

He carried one of Garrick's ancestors first.

Chradh once bonded a Garrick forebear, which is the mechanism behind Garrick holding two signets — the air everyone knows, and the distance-wielding nobody's seen in centuries, kept off the books for three books. The bond runs deep enough to hide a walker.
