Ferno the Fire Dragon: Series 1 Book 1 (Beast Quest)

Product Information

Just before the Fire Dragon caught the Beast Guard, Tom pulled Ferno's flight path to one side, allowing him to graze a wing with his sword, sending Grashkor spiralling into the water, where Epos dropped the final standing tower of the prison on him. The Beast lowered his head towards them, examining his new foes, holding Tom's gaze before the inexperienced warrior broke eye contact and brandished his sword, causing Ferno to react and uncoil his tail, menacingly whipping it. The fires he created was the reason Tom was sent to the City, which would start him down his journey to become a Master of the Beasts. When Tom, Elenna, Aroha and Yara had to travel to Tangala to collect the Jewels of Tangala to launch a mission to rescue Prince Rotu from Zargon, Tom summoned Ferno to carry them quickly. Ferno intercepted him, releasing a blast at fire that threw the Evil Beast into the cliff wall, with Arax lashing at the dragon with his whip, barely missing.

Ferno later joined with the five other Good Beasts on the shore of the Western Ocean to help summon Spiros, with the Fire Dragon thumping the ground with his tail.When Tom engaged Malvel in Errinel, Elenna used Tom's shield (which Tom had lost in battle with the King of Fear) to once-again summon the Fire Dragon, not content to let Tom fight Malvel alone as he wanted. The fire made Tarantix's exoskeleton brittle enough for Tom to pierce with his sword, letting him defeat the Beast. The Good Beast flew straight into the Evil Beast, knocking Ferrok to the ground and scattering the Iron Warriors. When it rose fully, Ferno entered one of the contestant archways, appearing with the other Good Beasts of Avantia to battle for Mortaxe's amusement as the enchantment of the arena took hold.

Tom is a boy who has always wanted an adventure, in which he has the chance to get after strange things-- the horses getting attacked, the river running low, and the crops burned-- happen in his village. Ferno and Epos didn't follow Tom and Elenna in trying to recover Vedra, instead Ferno used his wings to hide himself and Epos, simply appearing as a large rock. The Beast pinned his foe to the ground, raking his claws across his chest and making significant gashes. Ferno was the last of the three to arrive, swooping over the ocean as Epos released a fireball on Grashkor, temporarily taking him out of the fight, blinking an eye in greeting, and tipped a wing to the Avantians to allow them to climb on. Flight: Ferno has two wings which allow him to fly at great speeds and can be used in combat by smacking his opponents.

The two Beasts scrapped on the ground, with Ferno using his fangs and claws to match Ferrok's attempts to bind him. Doing it a second time at Tom's request, Claw dropped to his knees, giving Tom the time to free the Golden Chainmail. The Beast was forced to sit out the next few minutes as he recovered, but soon lunged at Kyrax, ploughing his snout into Tom's side, throwing him clear of the Metal Warrior's attack and taking over the clash, telling Tom to make the sword of Kyrax's metal (only weapons of a Beast could hurt Kyrax). After Raksha was thoroughly pummelled but not defeated, Tom sent the Beasts away so he could finish the Mirror Demon himself, with Ferno being the last of the Beasts of Avantia to leave, flying back to his own territory. He began to advance on Nemico, eventually forcing him off of the cliff, although he was caught by Tom, merging them and restoring Tom's whole soul.
