Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the terriblest of them all? (Hint: it’s not the Puppet Master) The Academy isn’t the end of Hard Mode, it’s the beginning of the end. There’s still one relevant island left that you may not realize. This character will be a blast from the past, and you’ve seen a statue of him before…and has gotten a bit of a lore update recently too! It’s, the dragon, the scary, the terrible…CARCUS THE TERRIBLE!!! ![Screenshot_20260825-200437](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prodigygame/original/3X/d/e/dea0199e533be2c8dd89eeef9b979623f7442de9.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20260825-200517](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prodigygame/original/3X/1/7/1728cd7afe2e6a468cfe025812ccc85cc872051e.jpeg) He’ll be giving Dragon Isle a bit of a shadow makeover! ---
