Thorn is a dragon from Christopher Paolini's Inheritance trilogy. He is bound to a Dragon Rider

Appearance and Personality

Thorn is a red male dragon, smaller than Saphira, but wider in the legs and shoulders. Like all dragons, Thorn's "vermilion eyes" match sparkling ruby hide. Thorn is only a month or two younger than Saphira, and is trained by the king's dragon Shruikan in the Riders' arts, and he is extremely fierce and skilled at aerial combat. It is unknown if Thorn's mind has been twisted like Shruikan's, and like the now-dead dragons of the Forsworn; however as Thorn's Rider Murtagh is only serving Galbatorix because he is forced to, it can be assumed that Thorn does not willingly do the king's bidding, but because he has no choice.

History

Thorn is the second of the last three dragons (apart from the senior dragons Glaedr - who is hidden from all but the elves and Eragon and Saphira - and Shruikan), the first being Saphira. He is bonded to Murtagh. Both Thorn and Murtagh were forced to make an unbreakable vow to King Galbatorix to serve him. Galbatorix knows their true names (see Ancient Language) and is therefore able to completely control them, unless he chooses to release them. Thorn and Murtagh have no free will, and Galbatorix binds them further by continually forcing them to make further oaths to him in the ancient language.

"He knows our true names, Eragon...we are his slaves forever." - Murtagh
