Domino 2 is a minor character of Amphibia. She is an "Amphibivore" Coastal kill-a-moth, who has a unique resemblance to Anne's cat from home, Domino, and is named after her.
After being released by Anne, she gave birth to 6 offspring and became an alpha moth, commanding a pack of kill-a-moths who join the Wartwood Resistance.
Roughly nine months after the events of "The Hardest Thing", she and an orange kill-a-moth are seen flying freely over Wartwood.
Appearance[]
In her larval kill-a-pillar stage, Domino 2 has black fur, with white stripes on her body and chest, two big yellow eyes, and six legs and two ear-like tufts of fur. This gives her an appearance similar to Anne's pet cat Domino.
In her adult stage when she transforms, she resembles a cat-moth hybrid and increases in size, with the body and wings similar to that of a Monarch butterfly and the head and legs of a white cat. She also has rows of pale-yellow teeth, large red eyes, and two tongues, one normal tongue, and a thin, green one lined with sharp spikes.
In "Fight or Flight" she is a bit larger than she was previously, as both Anne and Sasha could ride on her back in "The Beginning of the End". In the same episode, she is briefly fitted with a mind-controlling collar in the Frobot base, which gives her eyes a glowing purple color.
In "All In", she could carry not just Anne but also Anne's mom with dad easily.
Personality[]
As a Kill-a-pillar, Domino 2 acts like most cats, being playful, cute, and an attention hog. She is considered to be a very cute creature by Anne, who still loves her even after she transforms into an adult. In her adult stage, Domino 2 is more aggressive towards Amphibians, possibly due to a hunger to eat Amphibians in her diet, but still has a playful nature, attracted to the mouse toy Anne used to distract her from eating the Plantars.
In "Fight or Flight", she has shown a more compassionate side, despite initially still being territorial with her offspring.
While wearing the collar in the Frobot camp, Domino 2 is completely obedient and more alert of disturbances or threats, such as Anne and Sprig trying to remove her collar. After being freed from its control, she shows that she still remembers Anne, as well as being able to recognize when she's upset, and has even kept her old toy in her chest fur. She now distinguishes amphibians from food and has attained the rank of alpha moth, giving her authority and leadership over the other moths, which she uses to help the other moths escape from the Frobot base and eventually lead her pack to join the Resistance.
