Back reading Toll the Hounds again. So Gruntle just left hood's realm after returning to it with Master Quell, they talked to all the undead folk we kind of know already and additionally saw an undead dragon that Master Quell freed afterwards. Is this the undead dragon from the Nascent?

If not, is it just that they are two undead dragons that are unrelated? That seems confusing to me. But if it isn't doesn't that mean time gets wibbly wobbly?

Please help

I'm a bit apprehensive as I'm not really sure what info you get in which book, but as far as I am aware by TtH you already can guess who the undead dragon was that the Silanda crew encountered in the Nascent in Deadhouse Gates (I assume at least that is the one that you are referring to). Heboric said that the dragon was a T'Lan Imass bonecaster. The undead dragon that escapes Hood's realm in TtH is a different dragon (Tiste).

Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

The undead dragon that Felisin and co hitched a ride with as they escaped the Nascent in DG was identified at the end of the book (guarding the Path of Hands) as an Imass Bonecaster. This is Olar Ethil, who we met again towards the end of MoI.

The undead dragon that bursts out of the gate in TtH was bound in Hood's realm up until then, so it cannot be the same.

I think it's fair to point out that nobody in Hood's realm is undead, they're just dead. Once they leave Hood's Realm, at that point you can say they are undead.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

Technically they aren't undead. Just dead but not lying around being lazy about it.

Thanks for all the answers it helped clear it up. Never been good at keep tracking of the different T'lan imass titles. Anyway I finished TTH, great ending of course, I plan on reading stonewielder before the final two but I heard somebody say I should read OST before 9. Is that true?
