When Percy Jackson gets an urgent distress call from his friend Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he will need his powerful demigod allies at his side, his trusty bronze sword Riptide, and… a ride from his mom. The demigods rush to the rescue to find that Grover has made an important discovery: The titan lord Kronos has devised his most treacherous plot yet, and the young heroes have just fallen prey.
An ancient monster has arisen — one rumored to be so powerful it could destroy Olympus — and Artemis, the only goddess who might know how to track it, is missing. Now Percy and his friends, along with the Hunters of Artemis, have only a week to find the kidnapped goddess and solve the mystery of the monster she was hunting.
Along the way, they must face their most dangerous challenge yet: Time is running out for Percy. War between the gods and the Titans is drawing near. To stop them, Percy and his friends must set out on a quest through the Labyrinth — a sprawling underground world with surprises and danger at every turn. The final war begins… with the Battle of the Labyrinth. All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim.
While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate. A supplement to the Percy Jackson series, The Demigod Files include three original Percy Jackson short stories, interviews with the characters, and other fun extras!
A handbook no half-blood should be without: This companion to the series comes complete with trading cards, full-color diagrams, and maps, all packaged in a handy manual with a crisp, magnetic flap enclosure. Now submerge yourself in the thrilling, stunning, and action-packed graphic novel. Seventh grade has been surprisingly quiet for Percy Jackson.
Not a single monster has set foot on his New York prep-school campus. But when an innocent game of dodgeball among Percy and his classmates turns into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, things get. A new prophecy leads to a dangerous quest. Blackjack becomes Percy's personal steed and companion. Blackjack is unfailingly loyal to Percy, and on several occasions manages to save Percy's life. Blackjack always calls Percy "boss" and is quite fond of sugar cubes and doughnuts. Blackjack has two friends named Porkpie and Guido , both white pegasi, who sometimes accompany him.
All three are intelligent beings capable of interacting with other demigods independent of their horse-to-human translator, Percy. Percy's second magical companion is Mrs. O'Leary , who is introduced in the fourth novel, Battle of the Labyrinth. She is a hellhound that he receives from Daedalus whom Percy meets as a sword master named Quintus before the inventor dies.
O'Leary is described as "the size of a tank ", the magical veil known as the Mist causes her to appear as a poodle to mortals. Percy often refers to her as "his dog".

Percy sometimes uses Mrs. O'Leary's ability to "shadow travel" to cross large distances almost instantaneously. His brother Tyson and dead friend Charles Beckendorf are Mrs. O'Leary's other caretakers, though she is also fond of Nico di Angelo , son of Hades. He also knows a hippocampus named Rainbow who likes Percy's half-brother Tyson. It later saves the life of Tyson and returns to help the two brothers on several occasions. Percy has also traveled with a small calico kitten called Small Bob by Bob the Titan.
Small Bob was accidentally created by one of Atlas 's servants who was attempting to summon a group of spartoi. He is fond of Bob and protective of the traveling group, leading Bob to call him "a good monster". Small Bob can transfer into a full sized saber-toothed tiger at will and occasionally appears as an x-ray for a few seconds at a time. His purr is disproportionately loud for an animal of his size. It is unclear if he lives or dies, but he is not mentioned again. Percy is described as handsome, with messy jet black hair, a "Mediterranean" complexion, and sea-green eyes like his father Poseidon.
His mother notes that Percy looked just like his father, and his friend Hazel says that he has the looks of a Roman god. Like most demigods, Percy has ADHD and dyslexia , the former because of his godly battle instincts, and the latter because his brain takes more naturally to Ancient Greek than to English. After being trained at Camp Half-Blood, he has developed a Greek fighting style described as unpredictable by New Romans and is an expert swordsman.
After bathing in the River Styx , Percy was given the curse of Achilles , making him invulnerable except for the small of his back. He loses this power when it is washed away in the Little Tiber surrounding New Rome, as part of his acceptance there. As a son of Poseidon , one of the " Big Three " the others being Zeus and Hades , Percy is more powerful than most of the gods' other children. He also has a degree of authority over his father's subjects.
Percy is gifted with several semi-divine abilities: Water also provides Percy with a measure of protection from injury and fire. All of Percy's abilities correspond to the myths about and abilities of his father.

Riptide can change shape; when it is not a sword, it appears as a ballpoint pen engraved with its name. It reappears in the character's pocket when lost.
Since it is made of celestial bronze it will harm gods, demigods, and monsters, but simply passes through mortals. Percy has also used magic javelins made by his brother Tyson, magically camouflaging armor made by Charles Beckendorf , and the wand of Carter Kane. Percy has several magical items obtained from battles against monsters.

The first of these is the horn of the Minotaur , which he obtains after killing the beast on Half-Blood Hill. Another is the head of Medusa , which he cuts off after killing the gorgon. He gives the head away several times, finally leaving it with his mother who "disposes of it". From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article is about the character.
