Fictional Character Biography

Tabaluga inhabits the fictional province of Greenland. He is about 7 dragon-years old (700 human years, as one year for a dragon is 100 for a human). His father died when he was six. Little is known about his mother. Following his father's death, Tabaluga was the last of the dragons and styled the crown-prince of Greenland, a place inhabited by talking animals of many different species. Tabaluga must defend his home from two rival kingdoms on either side of Greenland; a frigid arctic tundra, ruled by the evil snowman Arktos and a searing desert, ruled by an evil sand-spirit named Humsin.
