Tairn has an enormous scarred black wing and giant golden eyes.

His scales are large and thick and surprisingly warm to the touch.

He has long taloned toes and rock hard scales on his underbelly.

As a black dragon, tairn stands out as the most intelligent and discerning among dragons.

He is also the rarest and most.

Tairn's previous rider may not be dead.

When violet first hears of tairn in fourth wing, she is informed that his previous rider, naolin, died trying to use resurrection to save.

Prior to the events of fourth wing, tairn had refused to bond in the five years between naolin's death and violet's threshing.

[1] fourth wing [] tairn first appears during threshing, despite not having planned to as he was not present for presentation.

He flew in to protect andarna from tynan, jack barlowe and oren seifert.

It's pretty clear tairn knew all about the venin and the threat they pose.

If not through his own knowledge as a super powerful dragon, then because of sgaeyl and xaden.

I have zero interest in most of the series/books people have compared fourth wing to, but the way these tropes/concepts were combined in fourth wing created something i was interested in reading.
