#rainwing venom

[thenerdperson]

I return! This is Dunechaser they/them, a sand-rain hybrid. Wasn't sure about the background for the headshot, so I put both of them.

Dunechasers parents met about a year before the Sandwing Succession War, their mom was a textile merchant, and their father was a curious rainwing, leaving the rainforest to see Pyrrhia and the other kingdoms. They hit it off and had Dunechaser. They lived in Possibility during the beginning of the war as neither of Dunechasers parents wanted to do anything with the war. Sometime after the prophecy of the dragonets were given and the nightwing tunnel was made, Dunechaser's father wanted to visit the rainforest and his old freinds and family and introduce them to his wife and child. Dunechaser and their mother agreed, and Dunechasers father went ahead to make visiting arrangements as Dunechaser and their mom closed up the shop. When Dunechasers father did not return, they figured they were ahead of time and would go to the rainforest to surprise him. Dunechasers fathers freinds were more than happy to greet his wife and kid. However, while he arrived and made arrangements, he left a while ago to take his family there. Dunechaser and their mom were considered at first, but not so much as they both knew their father could take care of himself, they probably just missed him while flying over and it was a good thing they left a note incase something like this happened. By the end of the week, there was still no sign, and they searched for Dunechasers' father. Unknown to them, he accidentally found the nightwing tunnel and the branch leading to the bightwing kingdom and was killed by a guard. After weeks of searching, Dunechasers mother went back to her shop in Possibility with the knowledge he had most likely been killed in some fight due to the war. Dunechaser didn't want to give up and instead continued the search and helping others along the way, this eventually lead to them joining the Outclaws as in their opinion the Talons of Peace were too focused on the prophecy and not enough on the people caught in the crossfire. When the war ended, Dunechaser like many others followed Queen Thorn and works in the Sandwing Stonghold now, and while Dunechaser oftin visits their mother they have only visited the rainforest again once as it reminds them too much about how they never did find out what happened to their father.

Dunechaser has only a limited form of color changing scales, capable of a wide range of yellows and browns and some dull greens, pinks, and reds. They, however, do have both rainwing venom and sandwing venom, just not where it should be. Their bite can release the sandwing venom and can oddly enough shoot out rainwing venom from their tail similar to some species of scorpions. Both Dunechaser and their parents were unaware of this until Dunechaser bit a kid in a fight, and the kid was poisoned and a week later Dunechaser was experimenting to see if their tail could do anything and they accidentally shot a tree.

That's all my headcanons for Dunechaser. If you want to know more or have a question, ask, and I'll either clarify or make something up.

Luxaeterna, a participant in the first true battle of the war between the Rainwings and Icewings, the Battle of Stolen Light. Her venom-fangs were torn out by an Icewing poacher, and after surviving and avoiding capture, replaced them with harder gemstone teeth. She’s well known for the number of Icewing skulls she’s impaled throughout the war. She is Boomslang and Quetzal’s great aunt. Postwar, she has been reunited with her living grandnephew and accompanies him for scale retrieval in the Ice and Sky Kingdoms.

Quetzal in his last moments before being murdered by an Icewing poacher. He had sold Boomslang’s egg to the Icewings in the hopes of gaining immunity from the scale trade- but he learned far too late that a bargain can’t be kept with someone who wants to wear your skin.

Rainwing Just another sketch I made when I was bored

[simplegeneral]

I vote the skywings. Their kingdom is quite literally the USA of Pyrrhia, its a vast territory with fertile land and mountain ores, they could shut themselves out of the world and live in complete autarky.

Those resources, of course, also make me think they would boost the largest population of Pyrrhia and could send endless hordes against their enemies for who knows how long.

We also see, even if implied in the skywing wingery that their youth is extremely militarized since hatching, so even skywing citizens have some level of combat training and are more than ready to be conscripted into the army.

In an all out war between the tribes (including pantala tribes) who would win? NO Hive Mind, NO animus magic, NO Nightwing abilities. Just raw, natural abilities and strengths.

I’ve been getting really into my silly little fantribe from when I was 13 so allow me to rant at you about them for a while

They’re called TripWings, they’re a snake based tribe closely related to RainWings who produce a venom from their fangs with psychedelic effects. Royal and noble Trips have hoods, but most of the tribe does not.

Because they’re closely related to RainWings, they also mostly possess very bright and colourful scale patterns like tropical snakes, although some come in duller tones

Here’s their current Queen, Regalis, and her husband Copperhead. I love Regalis a LOT, I used to doodle her all the time when I was a kid

Expect to see more of them I’m very trip brained at the moment

if you would like to make your own I have an f2u base for them on my ko-fi

So to quickly recap what happened for those who aren't in the Sky Kingdom

The Dragonets of Destiny (YES THEY'RE REAL) had been captured by Queen Scarlet and forced to fight in her arena

One of the dragons with the destiny dragonets is a RainWing, who Scarlet kept on display

Queen Scarlet's champion, Peril, just activated the Champion's Shield when there was some drama between her finding out a prisoner was her mother

Scarlet made Peril fight the MudWing destiny dragonet

She hyped it up to make it this big fight and even invited Princess Burn over to watch

Fight happens

Nothing is going on and the two are mainly yelling at each other (personal drama between them???)

Scarlet yells at them to get back to killing each other

RainWing BREAKS FROM CHAINS and HITS SCARLET WITH VENOM

Entire arena is in panic and everyone leaves because Holy Scavengers the queen is dead

I'm currently writing this right after hearing dragons coming back to the villages. Oh my god I can't believe this she's finally dead

🃏 rhodubillite

I should probably also mention that Burn PUSHED SCARLET INTO THE VENOM!!! The venom would've hit her but she GRABS Scarlet and uses her to defend herself!! Burn killed Scarlet!

My take on rainwings!! Rainwings are my favorite tribe overall bc I’m a basic bitch and I like me colors :]

I made them really longgg and tiny cuz I love them. ( I prob won’t actually draw their bodies this long, it’s just rlly exaggerated ^^* )

They are literally the most op snakes- like they are both a venomous and constricting snake with their fucking acid teeth spittle and their prehensile tails, and I feel like everyone just ignores their tails unless they are hanging upsidown. Like they grip onto things without them even realizing it, they have no control. They can literally hold objects like an extra talon and no one uses that!!

I also love giving them 2 pairs of horns and snake heat sensors!! They have a lot more snake features overall. I also give them bird-like back feet and hooked claws for climbing! And their frills are connected to their ears and r rally loooong and big and poofy outy and I love the so much-😭 ^^

What’s ur favorite tribe? What do you think of rainwings? How do you like my design? I’d love to hear ur guises opinions!

[0-jynx-0]

A Game of Thrones inspired RainWing! Very elusive, and one of the smallest dragon species known, the largest of which only growing about the size of an elephant. They are found deep inside massive jungles, hidden in the trees with their color shifting scales, and will see you long before you see them. RainWings are the most timid dragons, typically shying away from any humans they come across, and they’re not aggressive unless provoked. Remember, they’re more scared of you than you are of them! A scared RainWing will spit an acid-like venom from their fangs, deadly enough to kill a man in minutes, or leave you horrifically scarred. Due to their smaller size and lack of fire breathing capabilities, they are not much use in war. They can be ridden if you’re determined, but they do not bond to their riders. The few raised in captivity are mainly used as symbols of status and wealth, only owned by the most powerful lords and kings.

[quoththeraisin]

Humans and Rainwings are both optionally omnivorous frugivores. It would make sense if they had evolved similar teeth, minus the venomous fangs, of course. Also it's hideous and I love it.

[chaotic-minds-think-alike]

Finally finishing all these guys we’ve got charts and headcanons! (Long post)

(Height)

(Wingspan)

(Body length & basic shapes I used) (it might be odd but ignore any detail on the back, the shapes are for general body shape)

Headcanons:

Seawings: - Colors range from red and purple to yellow - Aquatic is based off areas of bioluminescence rather than singular scales (because no one wants to draw all of those) - Although they average small compared to the other tribes, gigantism is more common - Wing bioluminescence gene is always present but for some doesn't show, thus aquatic doesn't utilize the wings

Rainwings: - Can change the texture of their scales alongside color - Weakest bite due to their fangs, probably why they're vegetarian - Mimic interesting behaviors - Have forked tongues

Mudwings: - Colors range from olive green to purple-ish red - Very resilient - Able to breathe fire regardless of body temperature, the heat of the flame depends on body temp - Their horns constantly grow and sometimes have to be cut due to dangerous growing patterns - Love gnawing on things, tough foods like jerky is popular - The horn covers of fallen siblings are harvested and turned into instruments to remember them by

Leafwings: - Colors range from gold to teal (and pink to olive green during cold seasons) - Can appear to have false eyes - Bug-like just like the other Pantalan residents (because they're just some weird outlier like what is going on here) - Leafspeak doesn't actually allow them to hear voices from plants but rather increase the sensitivity of their antennae which pick up on the changes in plants - In colder seasons, regions that have deciduous trees influence leafwings in that their scales change into warm tones similar to fallen leaves for camouflage but this also negatively impacts one's leafspeak ability; this doesn't apply to evergreen leafwings however

Hivewings: - Colors range from hot pink to olive green - Can appear to have false eyes - Have elbowed antennae just like their "cousins", Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants) - Tend to disregard personal space/get close out of habit, being close means better temp regulation and better communication - All hivewings have stingers, wrist stingers, and a venomous bite but it largely depends on preference of which they choose and like muscles, they can be exercised to become deadly weapons - They're not capable of "emitting a horrible stench"

Icewings: - Colors range from white to pale indigo - Melanism is still very rare but more likely in icewings - Can be iridescent in any color, especially visible in lighter scaled individuals - The scales on their face is very fine and is flushed with blood which darkens the area and allows them to see in the snow by absorbing light, otherwise the glare from the sun reflecting off would be a hinderance - Their wings are thin and thus have visible veins most of the time - Idk how to describe their scales other than its kinda like basalt formations - From the side they appear large but are actually thin and flexible - They can freeze to death if they've gone without cold for a long time and then reintroduced too quickly - In hybridization, they have dominant genes, partially because the animus gene - The extra mane of horns can appear randomly on the body in singular spikes, they also make a clink sound when they collide as if they're made of ice, making a pretty scary rattle when disturbed

Nightwings: - Colors range from orange to purple - Albinism is still very rare but more likely in nightwings - Dwarfism is more common - Teardrop scales are always present, highlighted when the dragon has powers regardless of type - Pitbull ready to bite kids - They CAN hang upside down as the books suggest but not for long - By taking dust baths, they dull their scales to reflect less light and blend in better in the dark - Have white fire but cant breathe for long due to how hot it is (this is mainly to add onto the mysterious factor of em and I always liked the idea) - Due to eye sensitivity, they hate sudden bright lights and will close their eyes as they breathe fire

Silkwings: - Can have black or dark accents but never as a whole body color unless they've hybridized - Wing shapes vary widely - Can appear to have false eyes - Flamesilk is rarer than one might think - Very flexible and have strong tails used as a sort of 5th limb in climbing - Albino or melanistic dragons still keep their iridescence - Silk is emitted through a spinneret on the chin rather than the wrists - Prefer to travel in pairs (instinct)

Sandwings: - Colors range from red to olive green - Dark patters often mimic a snake's - Horse-like in complexion - Alongside their snake-like appearance, they have pit organs - Tend to move like birds - Poor eyesight but good hearing - Their horns angle upwards sort of like a bull

Skywings: - Colors range from red to yellow (and green because skywings are meant to be your typical fire breathing dragon which is most often depicted to be red but can also be green) - Tend to move like birds - Weaker than they appear - Green skywings are incapable of being or having flamescales - Their horns constantly grow and have to be filed down - A flamescale cant melt rock or metal by touch alone, only via fire is it possible - It's not that they don't want flamescales that they kill them, it's more of a mercy killing because of how lonely their life can be

[miscellaneous-dragon-art]

got rain and leaf out of the way! Finally we’re at some canon tribes, lmao.

Rainwings have the same abilities as normal, only real change is they are really bad at flying for long distances, preferring that weaving glide using their tail over actually flapping. I’ve also decided that both RainWings and SilkWings (which I haven’t finished designing quite yet, gotta do Beetle first) will both have that :3 python face, hence why both tribes tend to be underestimated— they look very innocent to most dragons.

Here’s my design for LeafWings! Decided to make this guy mostly brown because I don’t see enough appreciation for brown LeafWings, plus some gold flecks. In this design, they no longer have the fin at the end of their tail because it is prehensile, but also a little shorter than the RainWing’s and VenomWings they descend from. Also, the little green patch on their muzzle comes from the loss of Venom glands, though it does resurface very rarely. (I am also very proud of the pose I drew them in >:))

(Good news! My style seems to be evening out)

Rainwings Reference

Rainwings Reference

Fins:

Many types of fins

Used for expressions and hearing.

Even more styles then shown and there is no real rhythm or reason for the different appearances.

*Hooded is based on place of attachment. Hooded fins attach at the ears and extent down to the middle of the throat. Can be combined with other fin types.

Skin and Texture Mimicry:

Rainwings have very soft skin compared to the other tribes.

This soft, malleable skin and be manipulated by the Rainwing to take on many shapes much like a cuttlefish.

Rainwings’ skin (by an account of Nightwing researchers) is startlingly stretchy. Getting a proper grip is difficult. Removed skin loses its ability to change color or shape and turn an unpleasant grey color.

Color Expression:

Rainwings have the ability to turn any color that they can perceive. *More colors than humans can see

Colors are assigned to certain emotions, but context is also very important. Colors, just like words, can have double meanings and some combos make a more complicated expression.

Expression Colors show first on the face and the bigger the emotion further the color takes over a Rainwings’ base color. (Base color is the Rainwings’ favorite or preferred color and pattern.)

Blue (Bright)- Smugness or confident

Blue (Dark)- Sadness

Purple- In amor or Pride

Pink-Pleased

Red-Anger

Orange-Warning, frustration

Yellow- Alarm, excitement, hunger

Green (Bright)- Fear, startled

Green (Dark)- Envy or Jealousy or Tried

Black- Pain, Depression, Illness

Grey- Closed off, bored, being dead serious…or being dead.

Make sure to remember that context matters. Just because a Rainwings’ favorite color is red doesn’t mean that they are constantly angry. Genuine emotion is often a quick flash across the face much like human eyebrows. Rainwings can color how much or how little emotion they show, and some are better at it than others.

Extra:

Rainwing hands have thick and grippy pads on the fingers and palms. (They look like beans) Hands are different than the other tribes with the middlemost fingers being the same length and the other two acting like thumbs.

Wing talon is very long and strong, acting like a second pair of arms. A dragon might be able to hang in the trees with just their wings.

Have some of the fastest reflexes out of all the tribes. A Rainwing could spit before another dragon would even form a thought about breathing. (It’s a good thing they’re pacifist.)

Despite or because of their soft skin they have a far better healing factor. Wounds that might be permanent or deadly are recoverable for them. Damage that would take another dragon months takes a Rainwing weeks. (With them being in good health and having plenty of sunlight.)

Rainwing Venom is really an acid. Adult dragons have stronger acid and the older the dragon the more powerful it becomes. Dragonet’s acid is still painful, however, if a little less deadly. A bigger issue is young dragons also have less control and instead of spitting they will spray acid everywhere if frightened. (Testimony from a Nightwing researcher.)

[m00ntunaart]

Mandalorian characters as Wings Of Fire dragons? Uh, YES PLEASE.

Welcome to stage 5 of "MoonTuna draws the most self indulgent nonsense that no one asked for".

But anyways, yeah! My rambling thoughts on the characters and this AU:

Din Djarin (NightWing):

I imagine Din as NightWing because in this AU I picture the Death Watch/Children Of The Watch as the NightWing Tribe. And after the Death Watch’s war against the other Mandalorians, they go into hiding on the volcano island (like the NightWings do in the WOF books).

And Din is the tribe’s Beroya (Hunter), so he’s one of the few selected from the tribe to leave the island through the hidden tunnels to go back to Pyrrhia to hunt food for the tribe. 

During one of these trips I imagine he find Grogu! Who in this AU is a human (scavenger)! Because if everyone is dragons in this AU, then it just makes sense that Grogu is the human instead lol. Plus then Grogu is still small enough to be in a satchel Din carries around, like in the show.

But Grogu still has his Jedi powers in this AU. Which has never been seen before in humans. Thus ‘The Mandalorian’ type shenanigans where Din takes Grogu around trying to figure out WTH is up with this infant human.

(Also side note: in this AU I still picture there being Jedi/force sensitive dragons (the Jedi Order probably works similar to The Jade Mountain Academy. Where the Jedi are from all the tribes and live in the Jade Mountain. 

Also in this AU NightWings DO have their mind reading/future seeing powers. But like in the books, they loose them once they move to the island and don’t know why.

ALSO ALSO Animus still exists! But they work more like Force Sensitive where it’s just born in some dragons, and isn’t necessarily hereditary. And it’s SUPER rare. So rare that many believe Animus’s don’t exist. (I imagine Anakin Skywalker is the first Animus in centuries))

Cobb Vanth (Sand Wing):

Cobb is super straight forward. He’s a SandWing because he’s a cowboy from Tatooine. Of course he’s SandWing. Though in this AU I imagine he’s a lot like Thorn from the books, in that he’s the Marshal/leader of a town (Freetown) in the desert that isn’t under the Sand Kingdom’s rule. Also I imagine he’s one of the first dragons Din meets when he goes out on his journey to find information on Grogu. (Since the tunnels from the NightWing Island to the Rain Forest to the Sand Kingdom are all connected basically).

Boba Fett (MudWing):

Okay so Boba just had to be a MudWing. He had to be. Though it was less because of Boba’s character and more because he’s a clone. The clones all being close to each other, having battalions, and calling each other brothers? Uh, that’s like MudWings in the books to a TEA. So yeah, the clone troopers in this AU are MudWings, hence Boba also is a MudWing lol. Though I also liked it because older Boba Fett (and the older clones we see in the shows) are a lot bulkier and muscled with age. They get DILF bodies is what I’m saying lol (except for like Hunter apparently, he gets to keep his twink dad body). So the big MudWing body type works well for Boba and the clones. 

Fennec Shand (RainWing):

Fennec to me was a RainWing MOSTLY because as an assassin, her being able to camouflage and make herself look like other dragons was super RainWing coded. Plus having the subtle but deadly RainWing venom just matched her energy so much. Plus I love the idea that Fennec is kinda a “outcast” in RainWing society. Her ‘resting’ colors are dark, she knows how to fight and kill and LIKES it. She left the Rain Forest because the RainWing life style was nothing like her personality (very Glory from WOF like). Plus it plays into the idea that no one expects her to be dangerous or competent because she’s a RainWing, and then she murders you violently while still looking like a goddess (is my Fennec love showing yet? lol). Plus it’s why she and Boba get along, he treats her from the start like the dangerous criminal she is, and not like some ditsy RainWing. Also idk how Boba and Fennec taking over Jabba the Hutt’s palace works in this AU, but if so Fennec is definitely the one mainly running the show from behind the scenes. She was born to micromanage.
