Fear Overcame Them. | Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie is a relatively thick, average-height Cookie with bubblegum pink dough. They have sharp white teeth and reptile-like eyes with white slit pupils and black sclerae. They have dark red markings under their eyes. Their white hair is presumably a ponytail that's long and fluffy, with black seeds in it, resembling the flesh of a dragon fruit. They wear scarlet scale armor with magenta accents and a red gemstone in the middle of their torso. They wear armor shoulder blades that have two spikes going up. They wear a helmet with five spikes going up and a diamond shape in the middle. They have a red tail that fades to a palm green. Both of their legs have two light green spikes on the side. The end of their tail is missing from when Knight Cookie chopped it off. Just when the world was still young, a legend began to spread among all Cookiekind — the tale of a red and greenish dragon who lived in a blazing land now known as Dragon's Valley. That legendary creature was none other than Pitaya Dragon Cookie. Pitaya Dragon Cookie is an ancient dragon whose name has been told in countless stories, often described as a fearsome and powerful being. They are said to have existed “long before Cookies ran.” Despite their legendary status, Pitaya Dragon Cookie’s personality is quite unusual for someone so mighty. They’re cocky and see almost everyone beneath them — especially Cookies. To them, Cookies are fragile, tiny, and weak beings, far too boring to be worth their time. Because of this, the dragon constantly seeks something — or someone — exciting enough to break that boredom. And for them, that excitement comes from battle. Pitaya Dragon Cookie has fought many opponents throughout history. Their most memorable was fight was against Hollyberry Cookie, the Queen Mother herself. She actually managed to defeat Pitaya Dragon Cookie, earning their respect. Since then, the dragon has considered her the only Cookie who was truly “fun” and longs to face her again one day. Even though Pitaya Dragon Cookie has a poor opinion of Cookies in general, seeing most of them as weak and fragile, there are a few they find amusing, peculiar, or brave enough to be worth their attention. Because of the dragon’s incredible power, many Cookies have tried to reach them throughout history. Countless brave souls have ventured into the Dragon's Valley in search of their nest. Once there, Cookies would share their wishes with the dragon, hoping Pitaya Dragon Cookie would grant them. However, their fate depended entirely on the dragon’s judgment. Most Cookies never received what they wanted—and never returned home. But for the rare few whose wishes were granted, it became a story to boast about for a lifetime. Though Pitaya Dragon Cookie tends to brush off the importance of such deals. After the Dark Flour War and Hollyberry Cookie’s withdrawal from her kingdom, Pitaya Dragon Cookie took advantage of her absence and invaded. They spread fear among the Cookies by turning half the kingdom to ashes. During their rule, they acted like a tyrant who cared little for others, often threatening Cookies to obey their orders — or risk seeing the kingdom burn again. Though Pitaya Dragon Cookie clearly doesn’t care much for others, there are rare moments that show a hint of respect for those who prove their worth. For example, they barely seemed to care about losing part of their tail to Knight Cookie — even forgetting about it at times. Pitaya Dragon Cookie believes themself to be superior to everyone and is extremely confident in their strength. However, their pride has often led to their downfall. When a Shady Noble told them that some Cookies were plotting behind their back, they flew into a furious rage and nearly destroyed the entire palace. That same arrogance once caused them to lose much of their power. The Dragontongue is an ancient and complex language that almost no one can understand. Pitaya Dragon Cookie, however, speaks and understands it perfectly. They mention that this language isn’t meant for “simple mortals,” but for ancient beings like themselves. To them, Dragontongue is sacred—it holds the very essence of dragon life. If Pitaya Dragon Cookie swears an oath in this language, not even they can break it, for the magic of the words forces them to keep their promise. When Pitaya Dragon Cookie becomes enraged, they struggle to control themselves. Their fangs bare, their eyes blaze with fury, and all they can think about is burning and destroying everything in sight. This uncontrollable rage usually stems from their pride—they absolutely despise being outsmarted by what they call “inferior Cookies.” They are also fiercely possessive of their nest and throne, as seen in the “Legend of the Red Dragon” special episode, where the dragon flies into a furious rampage after discovering something has dared to disturb their throne. Even though they are no longer the all-powerful legend they once were, Pitaya Dragon Cookie seems unbothered. They’ve already regained much of their strength and are confident that, soon enough, their full power will return. Pitaya Dragon Cookie's true form is their Red Dragon form. They take their Cookie form on occasion only because it takes less power and energy to maintain than their full draconic build. Pitaya Dragon Cookie speaks with a lisp, extending S-sounds in speech in a way that resembles hissing.
