Proposed Canon

First Appearance: TBFGK 56

A type of Dwagon.

They, along with pink and yellow, are described as one of the weaker varieties of dwagon.^Erf-b1-p058

Purple Dwagon's seem to be ideal for Siege as evidenced by their usage in the siege of Spacerock by Gobwin Knob where their Sonic attack easily blew off a set of large double doors and injured several Jetstone units behind it, including Prince Tramennis ^Erf-b2-p060

Speculation

The purple dwagon breath attack is sonic in nature.^Erf-b1-p079 The speculation is that the attack form is a "breath attack", since it is canon that the purple dwagons have a sonic attack ^{LIAB Text 36}
