The Furox, also known as the Red Battle Dragon of War, was an ancient red Magma-class dragon who lived during the Dragon-Human War 3000 years ago. It was introduced in Episode 5: Fanning the Flames.

Physical Appearance

In Episode 5: Fanning the Flames, Beau has a vision of the battle between Ancient Beaucephalis and Furox. Although the ancient dragons appear as silhouettes in his vision, one can make out that the original Furox was bipedal, had sharp spikes jutting out of its back and a thagomizer on its tail.

In the same episode, Phorrj mag-locks Furox's bone-mark and is possessed by the spirit of the Furox. She mutates into a purple-golden dragon with large, sharp teeth, red spikes on her back and tail and frills on either side of her face. It is not known whether the original Furox looked exactly like this. 

History

Fierce and powerful, it was one of the dragons that fought the original Dragon Booster during the War. It was defeated by the original Beau and its spirit was captured in a bone-mark which was placed in the Scale Citadel for safe-keeping.

Kitt Wonn found the bone-mark in Episode 5: Fanning the Flames. Pyrrah took it from her and was lured by the spirit of the Furox. She got Phorrj to mag-lock the bone-mark and mutated her into the Furox. They were defeated by the Dragon Booster and Beau, who absorbed Draconium energy from Fracshun, Cyrano and Wyldfyr and mag-blasted Phorrj to nullify her mag-lock on the bone-mark. The bone-mark slipped into an abyss but was later recovered by Moordryd Paynn.

In Episode 11: Pride of the Hero, Artha Penn dared Moordryd Paynn to ride Beau, and Moordryd placed the Furox Bone-Mark onto Beau and he mutated just as Phorrj had, and became possessed by the Furox's spirit. Eventually during the episode, Beau breaks free of the Furox's hold. Being of pure draconium, Beau is at a greater disposition to battle the Furox's spirit and he eventually absorbed the Bone-Mark. Through this, Beau would later be able to call upon a Furox Form of himself whenever he needed the form's specialist abilities.

Trivia

• Its name is derived from either the word "fury" or the French word "furax" which means livid. 
• It is possible that Furox was the leader of the ancient Red Draconium Empire.
