Biography
Created by an alchemist in the medieval times, he was meant to hunt down dragons for their horns. The alchemist wanted dragon horns to make gold. He made Nettlebrand have the power to communicate and to travel through water. Nettlebrand's armour is invincible to dragon fire. Nettlebrand ate his alchemist and Twigleg’s 11 homunculus brothers. However, Twigleg was spared as he needed someone to polish his armor. Unfortunately for Nettlebrand, the armor polish was replaced with brownie spit. Nettlebrand enters the cave, and is at once dive-bombed by Firedrake, Maia, and Lola in her plane. The dragons come together and set Nettlebrand afire. The brownie spit reacts at once, dissolving Nettlebrand's armor and weakening him. He melts to reveal nothing but a toad underneath.
