Imagine teasing a white-blue SkyWings about "wanting to be an IceWing", and then getting the unmatched power of the fucking sun directed at your face.

LMAOO THIS IS AWESOME

dragons use nostril smoke blasts as warnings before their breathe their fire/ice

in the war there were many dragonets included and I'd imagine not every single soldier wanted to kill someone who's barely an adult, nonetheless itty bitty

so whenever a dragonet alone charges at them, a soldier may charge their fire but instead of keeping the smoke mostly in they'll burst it out creating a smoke cloud in hopes of scaring off the dragonet and make it fly away or being able to fly pass the dragonet while it's blinded and avoid the conflict

it all leaves the dragon with barely fire/ice to breathe so it's mostly when the soldier doesn't want to use their breath

SandWing frill and barb concepts! I wanted to use actual scorpion inspo but I was in the car while drawing this and sadly had no internet and no data on my phone to google :(

If you haven't seen my IceWing concepts, they should be a post or two underneath this one in my blog :)

Same things with the breeding and genetics and stuff, but little changes to the following:

Pure maned SandWings are not considered royals. Under Queen Sandstorm's rule, every SandWing is equal. However the pure maned SandWings do get some special mentions every now and then and are invited to social events in the stronghold.

There is actually no pure Mohawk line. The SandWing closest to having a pure mohawk is Queen Sandstorm (She has an almost pure mohawk), and her mother and father have half-mohawk inbetweener manes. Sandstorm's mate does not have any mohawk genes, however one of her children has an almost mohawk.

There are two pure tsavo families in the Scorpion Den, and somewhere there is a pure barbary family.

Nightwings are the scholars and mystics of Phyrria. They have expansive libraries and museums in their kingdom, as well as the most intricate schools and universities. The current Queen, Battlewinner is an ailing but stubborn queen. She has only one heir, princess Greatness, as well as one son (Battlecry, an oc). Greatness is trying everything to avoid becoming the next Queen, but she’s running out of time and options as her mother’s health worsens.

They have perfect night vision, as they are a nocturnal species, they see better at night then day. Their eyes and ears tend to be bigger when compared to other tribes. Most common eye colors are shades of green, purple, or amber. Blue is a very rare eye color among Nightwings. All Nightwings can breath fire.

Scales are most commonly black, dark grey, or darker and less saturated shades of purple, red/brown, green, or blue. Horns and claws come in grey/silver or black and a about roughly 40% of the Nightwing population hatch with a second but smaller set of horns that curve more downward then the first pair. The underside of their wing membranes resemble the night sky, with no nightwing hatching with the exact same pattern of star like scales.

Nightwings who hatch under one full moon, will either receive mind reading or seer abilities. A silver tear drop under each eye indicates mind reading, and silver tear drop scales along the sides of the neck and tail indicate seer abilities. Nightwings who hatch under two full moons get both abilities and those who hatch under no moons, get no powers and no extra silver scales. The very few who hatch under three full moons (the brightness night), will have a more powerful version of the first two abilities. There is a line of nightwings who may sometime hatch as animus, though this is rare. This line can be traced back to Darkstalker and his family. Animus magic, though not as intensely regulated as it is in the Ice Kingdom, is regulated to a degree. With most Nightwing animus end up working for the royal family in some way.

Basically in my au, Nightwings never left the original Night Kingdom and never lost their powers. Darkstalker’s story ended much differently to, I’ll explain that au eventually.

Below is an example of what an average Nightwing would look like (one set of horns and no moon powers).

Thanks @one-mopeyboi for helping out with various ideas for the au !

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!

[acronym49]

Wing talon studies! It turned out pretty good, much less awkward than I would've thought. The elbow membranes certainly get a good stretch, though, so they'd have to be heavily specialized to move like that without permanent damage or distortion. How? Who knows! I don't wanna go into tissue studies right now lmao. When there's a will there's a way ☆

[moonwatcher3]

GUYS.

there’s a summary at the end btw

what if and hear me out here… Ruby is timid because @teethwitheyes101-blog was right about their head cannon and people look down on her for having the “weak fire” coloring? and so hear me out on this next one BUT. (scroll past the next picture)

tourmaline has one of the stronger fire colors in scale indications that teeth with eyes has supplied us with, so that’s why she was the stronger daughter who was hold and brave, because also scarlet has the scale colors right in the middle of ruby and tourmaline, btw !!SPOILERS FOR ESCAPING PERIL!!, so closer to the end of the book when it’s discovered that Ruby is actually tourmaline with a spell over her earring maybe just maybe it was so that way none of Scarlets kids would be brave enough to challenge her? because if tourmaline had stronger fire than Scarlet, Scarlet would be aware of the fact tourmaline would have much more strength than Scarlet did, so she killed the original Ruby and then the spell on the earring made “Ruby” believe she had never been any other dragon but Ruby, that way Scarlet did not have to die from her stronger daughter before she got the chance to be queen for the rest of her life and “Ruby” thought she was too weak to challenge her mom, so she lived obediently, then we break into the point when scarlet and “Ruby” are about to fight over who gets to be queen “Ruby” isn’t willing to do assuming she would never win, but as SOON as she gets to be Tourmaline again she’s confident in her strength and beats Scarlet resulting in the evil queens death, just think about it! Scarlet had an animus at the time when she had that earring made and she had two daughters one of which could have very well been able to kill her! and scarlet had already shown a willing to kill her kids, so with her last two kids what if she was so power hungry that she decided to off her weakest of the two then make the strong one believe she was weak rather than just having someone kill Tourmaline for her? also clearly Scarlet has a way powerful ego so she most likely would literally never been willing to hire an assassin rather than do the dirty work herself! also! she would want to kill her much stronger daughter while making a spectacle of it, she would want everyone to see it, but she couldn’t do that if she had a definite disadvantage! so as a summary, scarlet totally killed the real ruby because she was weak, made tourmaline (who is much stronger fire) believe that she WAS ruby for her whole life so that scarlet could be queen even longer!

this is long and possibly a yap sesh BUT i was looking for cool WOF aus to read through and teeth with eyes’ art came up making me think of the leaked pictures of the escaping peril graphic novel and how Ruby is darker in color than everyone imagined which gave me this whole thing that ive typed out :3 tbh i was originally looking for motivation to write my own AU but then this happened 😅 but this is so much more fun bro

apologies for the yapping but no one irl that i know likes wof like i do so you guys get to suffer my ideas 😭

also thank you teethwitheyes101! I didn’t want to tag you multiple times in one post but i did tag you because i do not want to look like i’m trying to steal art, and i did my best to crop the picture with your user, i hope you aren’t upset at me for putting your art in my post, if you are lmk!!

It’s been a while since I’ve done this, but…

Wings of Fire Headcannons

Phyrria Edition

Mudwings

While Mudwing families aren’t nuclear, they are the most culturally protective of their dragonets. The center of most Mudwing will ages are “nurseries” large spans of protected land where eggs are lain. (Basically, Cattail was the outlier)

Mudwings produce some of the most skilled trades-dragons on the entire continent. Their education is less school-like, and more like apprenticeships. Each dragonet in a sib group is encouraged to pursue their interests and what they are good at by apprenticing with an adult in their village.

Mudwings have the richest food culture on Phyrria, because of their naturally larger, bulkier bodies, mudwings typically cook their food into filling dishes, such as stews, rice pots, and other such dishes.

Seawings

Seawing apearences adapt to their environment over time. The more sun that a seawing is exposed to, the lighter their scales. For most seawings, this tends to lead to fairly saturated scales. Extremes can be seen in completely surface dwelling seawings, who tend to have slightly bleached out scales along their spine and snout, and deep seawings that are almost black.

Queen Coral’s decree that all her texts being taught in schools has put a strain on seawing education. The first program to be cut was geography outside the sea kingdom and history, so much of the sea kingdom, especially around the capital, know little history beyond the Sandwing Succession War

Icewings

Icewing breath is supernatural in nature. It was the first animus gift

The blood of icewings is blue because of the “gift of superiority”

Common-born icewings are rarely allowed to leave the ice kingdom because they would be “poor representatives of the tribe”

Replicas of the Gift of Order in tradition can be found dotted around the Ice kingdom in lower class villages.

Skywings

Skywing royalty have historically been the most accessible to the common dragon.

The Skywing Stadium was originally built as a theatre, but fell into disuse because of the militaristic culture created by Scarlet and her mother.

Fire scales is passed down like Animus magic. Unlike animus magic, the entire Skywing tribe holds the recessive gene. A dragon that could have been a flamescales but did not have a twin in the egg are known as smokescales and are considered bad luck. Smokescales radiate heat from their scales after breathing fire, repeatedly burning their scales and darkening them.

Young Skywings who develop feathers are stigmatized but not outright executed. If they are not plucked in their youth, feathered Skywings are typically faster than their peers.

Rainwings

The colors that a Rainwing chooses to represent themselves is called a dragon’s “Common Color.” Not all Rainwings choose to do this. (Ex: Glory’s green and orange)

The Rainwing tribe gained their reputation as a useless, lazy tribe because they were among the first tribe to form after the scorching, and because they acted as assassins and mercenaries for the other forming tribes, they tried kept their malicious activities under wraps. After the ceasing of their business and the implementation of sun-time each new queen began to lean further into the stereotypes.

Sandwings

Sandwings have the most celebrations of any tribe.

Sandwing culture is hostile towards royalty, as most settlements are quite self sufficient.

Because of the spread out nature of the sand kingdom, news travels very slowly, if at all. As such, there have been quite a few animus dragons whose communities have kept them a secret.

I would love to see anyone else’s headcannons!

[the-reel-albacat]

In the books all the icewings that we know of have been royalty, and that leaves a MASSIVE gap in what lies outside the royal family and the dragons that surround them. I’ve had this idea for ages but I finally decided to draw it and I love every I did! This headcannons makes it possible for icewings to have much more interesting designs and stories, also feel free to use any of these ideas for yourself, non of them are to unique so don’t worry to much about credit, but it would be nice.

[teethwitheyes101-blog]

@gooseclan

I imagine sky would be wayyy at the bottom, and may even get mistaken for a nightwing :)

(This is for my skywing hc for ppl who don’t know what I’m talking about)

SKYWINGS HORN LOCK LIKE ANTELOPES

[crowsifer]

TRANSGENDER WINTER? 🤯🤯🤯 TRANS DRAGONS? SHE/HER DRAGONS? Pronouns woke gender

[the-scarlet-vixen]

IceWing spine designs! I'll just call them manes because i decided to base some on lion manes because hehehehe

In the current time, inbetweeners are the most common, as IceWings bred with each other and stuff and mostly didn't keep to pure mane lines, so there's a lot of variety in mane length and type in around 80-90% of the population

Pure manes are really rare. Most IceWings have at least some bit of another mane gene, and the royal family is currently the only almost-pure tsavo line. There are a few families that have almost-pure barbary and mohawk manes, though.

Tails usually match with manes, however it is possible for a tail spike type to be different from the mane! It is very rare though.

If two IceWings with different mane types breed, usually the dragonet would end up with a mane closer to the mother's. Since none of the mane type genes dominate each other, they mix. Usually the dragonet would have a mane ranging from the mother's exact one to something exactly between the mother's and father's. It is very rare for a dragonet to inherit a mane closer to his father's, especially one exactly like the father's (unless the mother has the same one).

Pure maned (well, almost-pure, as true pure maneds don't exist anymore) IceWings get to reside in the palace. No matter their previous status, just like frostscales, they will gain status. However, unlike frostscales, pure maneds will gain the status of noble instead of royal.

[pillbuggaboo]

I love how striking your character designs are!! And feel free to ignore this, but I’d love to see moonwatcher in your style!

I will never ignore this! couldn't decide which I liked better so here's both.

Wings of fire egg headcannons

Canonically, if you read the books, both rainwing eggs and skywings eggs are near white, hivewing eggs are white, and seawing eggs are white and blue. The mudwing egg colour is just canon design.

[spookys1fan]

Icewings! My style!

Ive finally settled on giving them dark limbs and reindeer antlers but I’m open to suggestion!

I gave them thick fur that protects them from the cold and harden into quills on their backs, necks and tails like porcupines! I also love giving them serrated claws and teeth, which are used for gripping slippery ice and prey! They would mostly use their serrated teeth to tear through the thick blubber on most of their prey, like seals and walruses! And I love them having really dark blue eyes like their blood from cannon!

This was really fun to do! Hope you like it! How do you like to draw icewings? I’d love to hear all about your headcannons! ^^
