seawing headcanons

i love Seawings they are def my fav tribe so take some basic headcanons

Seawings are one of the bigger wof tribes, but they can range from any size some can be very small and others can be bigger than a whale (really rare) they are usually 14ft - 24ft

Seawings can have little tendrils around their snout, usually on males

Glowing tips on their ears and tendrils and those weird little things on their chin

long hooked talons

There are multiple types of seawings each adapted to a certain environment

Polar seawings: fluffy, they are bigger than usual seawing, less light up scales, whale tails, usually dark blues and purples

Open water Seawings: normal Seawing but way bigger, shark or whale tails, usually sea green or teal

Reef or Tropical Seawing: very small, very colorful, can change some of their scale colors, flowy and elegant tails, long snout like a seahorse

Deep water Seawings: whole body is bioluminescent and they have and anglerfish antenna, these ones are usually blind, usually white, black or a pale blue

River Seawings: smaller than saltwater Seawings, usually green, salmon or a murky teal, they can swim up waterfalls unlike the other seawings

Saltwater Seawings: they are just normal

Seawings can be any color

Seawings have teeth like sharks

They have a second clear eyelid

seawings use facial expressions, hand movements, clicks, and whistles like dolphins and whales as apart of aquatic

seawings have american and British accents, higher class seawings like coral or whirlpool have British accents, civilians like riptide, and webs have american accents

Seawings are usually very muscular because of all the swimming they do

Seawings can have blowholes (bro idk don't ask me)

Seawings keep pet dolphins and otters

Seawings have strong claws and teeth for opening oysters

Lower and Middle class Seawings use coral, fishing nets and seaweed as accessories

Seawings have boats

Seawings have the most palaces out of any tribe

[spookymyloveisinfinite]

I headcannon that seawings have black blood which means they have copper based blood. Copper based blood Is more efficient in transfering oxygen when under cold or low oxygen conditions which would allow them to travel the ocean depths easier. Creatures who can breath on land and in water all thave frilly gills, and it makes sense why seawing would have frilly gills. This would make them able to be on land for far longer if they just had regular gills.

WOF tribe Merchant/Trading booth concepts:

Hey folks! This one was the recent winner of this WOF poll, so here’s my concept art that headcannons trading in Pyrrhia.

Read below cut for close-ups of the individual booths + the thought process / headcannons behind the design choices: 👇

Skywings: The Sky Kingdom’s mountain ranges provide plenty of pasture for raising sheep. As such, Skywing shepherds benefit from traveling to sell their wool, dyes, fabric, and woven tapestries. Many of these merchant tables also include herbs grown exclusively in the mountains, or ibex drinking horns that can be strapped on a dragon’s shoulder & carried in flight.

Along with goods, Skywing merchants may offer sewing services to fix tears, burn marks, or other fabric damage. They are sought out for their quality clothing, and most fabric across Pyrria originated from a Skywing’s talons.

Mudwings: Mudwings’ abundant food & cooking skills are envied almost anywhere in Pyrrhia. Their swamps have fertile soil, responsible for hosting diverse crops which can be purchased as produce at merchant stalls. For those lucky enough to find a traveling Mudwing merchant, the promise of a delicious dish can be whipped up and served at the stall in no time. Along with produce goods, Mudwings sell weaved baskets, spices, and cooking ware.

Sandwings: Sandwing booths offer luxuries of the desert: It’s most common to find accessories such as gold carved jewelry or musical instruments such as drums, lyres, & mandolins for sale. Though, even more sought out across Pyrrhia is Sandwing tattoos/piercings, which are done within the merchant areas. Ink etchings on papyrus paper are stationed outside their tents to showcase designs. All which can be selected, and poked into the skin with a tapping stick and plant dye ink by a trained talon.

Seawings: SeaWings sell a variety of ocean related goods; taking a share in the fish market with Icewings. Outside of food, there are den decorations like driftwood carvings, accessories such as seashell & pearl jewelry, and rope nets weaved by expert Seawing sailors. Some Seawings even sell fishing equipment, canoes, or offer sailor knot tying instructions to curious dragon buyers.

Nightwings: During the war, it was near impossible to find a Nightwing merchant. Most refused to participate in merchant territory, mostly as a way to keep up with their tribe’s mysterious nature.

Though in the more shady, unground parts of the market you can buy from a huge selection of obsidian weaponry, the sharpest in Pyrrhia. No one knew initially how Nightwings smithed so many weapons, or why, until their secret volcano kingdom and the intention to invade the rainforest was discovered. Then forging armor & weapons became clear. Along with a vast armory, for the right price, some Nightwing merchants offer Prophecies & Nightwing Literature (not always guaranteed to always be reliable) and assassin services as well (very reliable).

Rainwings: Though Rainwings haven’t been part of Pyrrhia trading for years, they have a vast hold on dragon medicine. An apothecary of herbs, salves, and remedies are all offered for various ailments due to the rainforest’s abundant resources. Along with medicinal goods, many Rainwings are fruit vendors, promising to any hesitant meat-eating dragons that such an array of flavors isn’t to be missed. Though, their fruit selling pitches often fall flat to most other predominantly meat-eating tribes.

Icewings: Icewings have everything a dragon could need to brace the cold, with a selection of goods only found in the most frigid regions of Pyrrhia. Furs, bone jewelry, and fresh fish (thanks to frost breath) are served on ice. Though Icewings themselves don’t require fur to withstand the cold, it’s considered fashionable and common in upper ranks to wear fur as a status symbol. Since metal is hard to smith without fire & in cold temperatures, fur and bone are more accessible to Icewings for clothing statements.

Tribe variations: seawings

Here comes the next part of the tribe variations! I see you liked my previous post on this topic with Icewings, so here is the continuation. I see most people wanted seawings, and in the wof community people REALLY like seawings variations, so here they are! Who do you want to see next: skywings, leafwings or nightwings?

Here’s what I think growing up in a dark cave and only having river water would do to tsunami :)

Ik that technically none of this would make sense in real life, and this type of evolution would only take place after a long time BUT A GIRL CAN DREAM OK.

Just some headcannons that I think would make her more diff and interesting

[clobertina]

I’ve grown out of Wings of Fire but I still love it

These are some old SeaWing headcanons I had

Tsunami:

Riptide:

Turtle:

Orca:

[clockys-soul]

Updated designs for these guys!

Here’s some Ideas/Headcanons I have for the tribes:

For all tribes:

-they don’t use any weapons outside of daggers maybe (bro you’re a quadrupedal creature, using a spear or sword or bow is not gonna work how you want it to, and you have claws and teeth plus fire or venom??? You have weapons built in bro) it just looks dumb to me, like what are you doing.

-Dragons Never stop growing like crocs

SkyWings:

-Most aggressive and bad tempered but not unfairly so, they don’t trust strangers and are much less friendly out of caution.

-prefer poultry and red meat, fish not so much, they also like to smoke their meat for special events.

-Hatchlings are capable of flying and breathing fire within a few months of their lives, quicker than most other tribes.

-their horns are the longest of any tribe and they take great pride in them, most (especially nobles) adorning them with jewelry.

-when on the ground they sometimes use their wings as extra arms, holding onto something for example.

-they are the best blacksmiths out of tribes, their craftsmanship is respected even amongst other tribes.

-they are almost completely fireproof, which is why they rely on their teeth and claws when fighting amongst themselves, their flames range is also the furthest and they can breathe fire the longest without stopping.

-Firescales have to touch another Skywing for a longer time to do damage.

-they have the best endurance when it comes to flying and they are also the fastest. They hold annual races.

-like birds of prey, they have insanely good eyes. They can see the furthest out of all tribes.

-during the before mentioned races they paint their wings with cool patterns just like they do during war, however the patterns are different, the Warpaint pattern is darker and rougher.

-their teeth are similar to that of medium to large theropods, they rely mostly on their fire an less on their bite as it’s a bit lower due to their longer necks.

-their eggs are white and long. Usually only laying one per clutch.

SeaWings:

-relatively sociable, suspicious at first but especially once they get to know you they act like they never had a problem with you in the first place.

-obviously they prefer fish but also crustaceans and other sea creatures, SeaWings living more up north, hunt seals.

-second strongest bite force, also their main weapon.

-very round scales and thick skin.

-Hatchlings need to stay underwater for the first few months of their lives as their lungs finish developing.

-Short but very curvy horns, their "whiskers" vary severely between individuals.

-their glowscales vary in size and sometimes even in quantity, I think they use them mostly region-wise (face, tail for example) and then by how often they flicker (like morse code maybe?).

-Most of their jewelry consists of seashells and pearls, but also of platinum and Gold.

-they are expert tattoo artists (just like sandwings) and they take pride in their underwater murals.

-their sails/frills also vary a lot, there are several variants, some more wavy.

-Seawing families living in colder water up north have developed a bit of blubber over the generations.

-they have pharyngeal jaws (like sharks), their teeth are also a bit more flat like most sharks.

-Medium to large in size. (Everything in the ocean is big so why not)

-their eggs are round, a bit reflective and darker shades. SeaWings may lay up to 5 eggs per clutch but usually ist between 2 and 3.

Sandwings:

-small to medium in size.

-amicable tribe, they often help dragons stranded in the desert.

-they have the second most fire resistant scales, while hotter fire and longer exposure will do eventually do damage getting blasted for a bit does nothing.

-they have keen senses, their sense of hearing and smell being the best.

-they can go without eating or drinking for weeks without issue.

-they have naturally warmer scales (like Skywings do).

-Sandwings love jewelry and accessories in general, they like decorating themselves with all kinds of stuff, like tattoos and piercings.

-Hatchlings hatch with more pronounced markings (like lion cubs), sometimes they stay that prominent even into adulthood.

-sandwing eggs are dark in color, Sandwings lay up to 2 in a clutch.

-sails are unique and every Sandwing looks different, they like to adorn them with piercings and other accessories.

-they also like to take sun naps, not nearly as long or often as Rainwings but they enjoy the sun.

-rely mostly on their barbs but also claws and teeth when fighting, less so fire.

Leafwings:

-Medium to large, (trees can get real big)

-eggs are long and pale. They may lay up to 3 eggs a clutch.

-omnivorous but mainly meat, fruits and vegetables are usually just a side dish or snack.

-their scales change to duller hues in during winter, patterns stay the same though.

-hatchlings are pale and only get more saturated if exposed to sun, like rainwings.

-they have lots of golden accessories along with colorful cloths and gemstones.

-leading tribe in toxicology, they know their plants and how to use em, and they love their spices.

-they have the second longest tail of all tribes and like Rainwings use them to hold onto branches when perched in Trees.

-while they are typically shades of Green or Brown/Orange, they may also have accents of all kinds of colors to varying degrees.

-they have Treehouses but also build stone temples, their Royal Palace is a rather large one with large gardens.

Silkwings:

-all silkwings have "fur" but some have less and some have more, typically it’s a line down their spine to their tail tip.

-they are omnivorous, mainly eating fruits and the like, but every now and then they will eat meat to balance out their diet.

-they have the shortest claws out of all tribes, which makes sewing and the like much easier for them, which it’s why it’s what most Silkwings do as a job.

-their wings patterns and shape is their most unique feature, they are also relatively quiet during flight.

-while Silkwings are typically very colorful they may have black accents (almost every butterfly has black so how tf are the butterfly dragons not gonna have some)

-they have the weakest biteforce, and rather weak claws, they are naturally pacifists.

-Silkwings have long thin tongues, cuz why not.

-it’s common for Silkwings to braid and generally style their hair, adding cuffs and other things like hair clips.

-they also have relatively weak scales, they’re a rather weak tribe, but flamesilks are about as fire resistant as Sandwings.

-eggs are small and round, per clutch it’s usually 3-4.

Rainwings:

-laziness is not normal, before the main story Rainwings were much more active and kept track of their eggs

-eggs are round and small, very similar to snake eggs, 2 max per clutch.

-Rainwings are the second smallest tribe.

-their frills are essentially and extension of their ears.

-they require meat at least 3-4 times a week.

-longest tail out of all tribes, parents sometimes carry hatchlings with them.

-shorter horns, usually curvy.

-scales get duller with age, and elder ones change scale color less.

-very curved claws to help em climb, also useful when hunting.

-Short wings like harpy eagles so flying through trees is easier.

-eyecolor cannot change neither can the horns nor claws or mouth.

-the older the individual the duller the scale color.

Mudwings:

-largest tribe, also strongest tribe.

-due to needing to have a higher body temp to be able to breathe fire, they rely on teeth, claws and overall strength.

-strongest bite force, one bite can amputate a leg with ease.

-they may have different variants of tusks, male typically have larger ones.

-slowest flyers, the prefer the ground.

-Fire is more magma like, more liquidity.

-Fire is very Smokey, their range isn’t that far either but it’s the second hottest fire.

-typically only 1 egg per clutch, 2 is rare.

-Mindreaders will have one teardrop scale for each moon they were born under, so all 3 would be 6.

-Prophets will have one starscale on their forehead for each moon they were born under, all 3 would be 3.

-padded feet like t-rex makes them quite even on the ground.

Icewings:

-blood varies from violet to more turquoise on the spectrum.

+ my deranged process

Inspired by @otiksimr!

[miscellaneouscanine]

All the tribe designs so far! I will do Pantala tmmrw!

Click for better quality!

I updated both the Skywing and Mudwing designs, they just looked so plain!

[flawseer]

Not sure if you’re taking requests but can you please draw Orca? The murder mystery (the murder mystery sister) if you’ve already drawn her I’d love a link!

I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm taking "requests" as such, since offering that can be a rather precarious slope on the internet. What I am certainly open to though is suggestions! If it's something that intrigues me at the time, or I was already planning to do and just haven't gotten around to yet, I may give it a shot.

Incidentally, drawing Orca was something I already wanted to do at some point in the future, so...

Orca

I imagine Orca was very similar to Tsunami in looks and physique; both would be fairly large and well-built. Strong. Swift. Good at fighting. Orca might have had the edge in raw physical strength (as a sculptor she would be accustomed to moving large stone blocks around) while Tsunami has better reflexes and instincts.

They're still very similar though; if you were able to put them next to each other at the same age, they'd likely be difficult to tell apart (if one wasn't green and their markings weren't different). I picture Orca with two prominent and large luminous patches over her eyes, which is where she got her name from.

If she had lived, she might have had a potentially interesting dynamic with Tsunami. But in terms of causes of death, there are certainly worse ways to go than decking Coral in the snout.

I've got fish dragon's in my brain

Headcanon Designs #1

you guys sure like my headcanons and maybe my art???

So here is my first design

Its Whirlpool, everyone's favorite (I'm joking don't kill me)

I love how slimy I made him look but I hate the legs

Anyways I made him a backstory

Whirlpool was born in a very poor and crime ridden part of the Kingdom of the Sea. He was given a fierce name by his parents. Both of his parents were soldiers in Coral's mothers army. They wished that he'd join the army. Ironically, Whirlpool was very scrawny and hated to fight. He loved read and be alone. He was always stuck up and thought he was better than everyone.When he was older, his ego grew more and he had a lust for power. He started to lie to high ranking Seawings about his accomplishments. After a while, he climbed the social ladder and gained a job in the palace. He was one of the lower ranking advisors of the queen. Coral, then took power and she always thought Whirlpool was clever. She offered him a role in the Seawing council, and she let him oversee education. Whirlpool gained his place by fraud and lying. Years later, his thirst for power grew, however the Queen was already married to Gill and he believed that Orca was barbaric. And blah blah we know the rest of the story.

Also guys I dont like whirlpool as a character, his actions are horrible and disgusting

[spookymyloveisinfinite]

I headcanon that sewings have three categories of their tribe.

1) surface wings: are born out of water and rarely go into the water other than to keep moist. This is for a variety of reasons. Like a specific job, reason, can't swim for various reasons, or they just don't like water/have a fear of water.

2) shallow wings: go in and out of water without prejudice, or don't have a preference. They don't really care where their business takes place and don't mind the ocean or surface.

3) deep wings: never/rarely come to the surface. Seawings who dont come to the surface usually don't come up because of the other tribes, and because of their culture and upraising. They think of the sea as their only home and that the surface belongs to the other tribes.

[endlessknights]

Wings of Fire tribe headcanons!

MudWings - bovine coded (affectionate). Only males have tusks.

SeaWings - made them a liiiiitle more streamlined and gave them more barbels for pizzazz.

RainWings - Kermit pupils! Also gave their ears that shape since Clay describes Glory’s ears as “feathery” in book 1.

NightWings - horns curl downwards, like a crescent moon.

SandWings - antelope-like horns. They have a dark patch of scales underneath their eyes to reduce glare (like cheetahs!)

IceWings - shrank their ears (less likely to get frostbite, I assumed). Not a full design element but general headcanon, I imagine that most of an IceWing’s crest(?) is made up of icicles that form on their scales and are kept frozen by their low body temperature.

SkyWings - their design was already really solid imo so I just gave ‘em a long bird neck.

SilkWings - made them rounder to better reflect the tribe’s personality and simplified their nightmarishly complex facial scale pattern.

HiveWings - they look like they could actually maybe kind of be descended from a NightWing and share a common ancestor with SilkWings now.

LeafWings - simplified scales again, gave them frog eyes, and gave their sail(?) more surface area (better for photosynthesis).

[soilikiken]

I think Orca would have an absurd size difference compared to other dragons her age. Like Tsunami is tiiiiny compared to her even though they are (were) the same age. (Also just an excuse to show off my orca design hehe)

[gumywyrm]

quick little sketch

I like to think that SeaWings train dolphins to be service animals for dragons that struggle with swimming/can't swim
