Say hi to Racer! He's a part of The Scavengers main cast, although he comes into play later in the story

In a clutch of three eggs, Muskrat was the first to come out into the world, becoming the bigwings for two siblings - the quiet and caring Racer and the quick-witted and stubborn Sandpiper. For the first few years, the dragonets lived and trained in the safety of the Diamond Spray Delta, where they had little to no exposure to the effects of war. One day, the trio stumbled upon an abandoned one-year-old hybrid dragonet, which they adopted and named Teal. Her damaged tail and weak lungs, combined with very young age, didn’t give her the opportunity to learn to fight and hunt with adopted siblings, but for dragonets who were ready to take care of their new sister no matter what, this wasn't a big deal. Two more years passed like this: Racer, who assumed most of the responsibility for Teal's health, acquired a good stock of knowledge about herbs and caring for the sick, which Sandpiper actively contributed to, absorbing like a sponge any knowledge that she could get to, and Muskrat, despite her pugnacity, managed to keep the family safe. Unfortunately, their peaceful life couldn’t last long. The Mudwings troops suffered heavy losses, and the siblings, who had just turned 5 years old, were forced to go to fight in real battles. They had to take Teal with them, since none of the neighbors was ready to shelter a sickly dragonet that required increased attention. …After almost a year in the war, Racer deserted and joined the Scavengers - a group of deserters active during the War of SandWing Succession, whom supplied themselves by collecting equipment in the settlements destroyed by the war and from the dead after the battles - there after 4 years he will meet a five-year-old sandwing, mourning the loss of her younger sister, but that's another story.

Also I tried to make a PMV with them about a year ago, but dropped it halfway... But I finished some of the parts, here they are:
