Nightwings

(Info below the cut)

Here is the first tribe I will share my headcanons with. This is one of my personal favorite tribes. Maybe it's because I love the stars, but hey, that's just me though. Anyway, this was the first tribe I drew. Now, the moment y'all have been waiting for, the headcanons for the tribe! (Edit as I'm typing: Tumblr is being funky, so it'll be in reversed in what I was hoping to share it in.)

Drawing Inspirations/Help

The body is similar to that of a Maine Coon.

Back legs are similar to that of a German Shepherd.

Coloration can be anything that calls back to a night sky. This can also include different colors, not just a monochrome palette.

Eye colors can be just about any color as long as it's in a nighttime sky.

Lore Headcanons

Due to them currently residing in the rain forest, Nightwings have been needing to relearn how their ancient abilities work.

The first Nightwing born on the brightest night was nearly killed due to their fear of another Darkstalker. It would've went through if it weren't for the Rainwing residents.

After several years, they do end up going back to their old homeland. This ends with almost this pseudo rain forest area so that they don't go hungry in their old home.

For years, along with the loss of their special abilities, Nightwings didn't know that Nightwings hatching with no light around their egg tended to hatch with nebulae in their wings.

They still have a strong alliance with the Rainwings after moving back.

Nightwings end up building a library similar to the Library of Alexandria. History scrolls, books, and so on can be found there, alongside stories from other tribes.

Tribe Headcanons

Nightwing horns tend to curve downwards, looking similarly to a crescent moon.

It is considered a recessive gene for the horn to resemble a comet's/shooting star's tail, making the horn straight in appearance

Their ears are bat-like. Bigger or longer ears are normally on mind reading Nightwings. It makes their hearing abilities amazing compared to all of the tribes.

The Nightwings have black sclera due to being nocturnal creatures originally.

While talking about the eye, a Nightwing's eye can expand and contract similarly to a cat's. This is to help them take in light at night and in darkness.

The front of their snouts have a star-shaped appearance. This is due to their bat like noses and upper jaw tusks.

Tusks and noses that look like an even star all around is considered conventionally attractive to other Nightwings.

Ancient Nightwing society used to see bigger tusks more attractive as it meant they were a protector.

The placement of the silver teardrop scales on the face indicate what they have in their skill set. These scales are mirrored on both sides of the face. A scale near the tear duct area means they are gifted with foresight. When the outer corner of the eye has a silver scale, it means they are gifted with mind reading. A teardrop scale that looks like a tear falling down the cheek means they are very powerful with the other two abilities. This is due to them being a 3 moon born Nightwing.

Depending on which scale is bigger when a Nightwing hatches, it means that one of their abilities is stronger than the other, or stronger in general. If the cheek teardrop scale on a Nightwing born under 3 moons is bigger, it means that they are extremely powerful. It is up to the dragonet if they do end up tapping into that power or not.

Nightwings have a sort of counter shading with their scales. Though, sometimes it's hard to tell if it's not another Nightwing due to them having a better understanding of differences of darker shades of colors.

Sometimes a Nightwing will be born with light colored scales similarly to their wings. These are similar to freckles from the sun, but Nightwings get them in moonlight. These are considered "Moon flecks" compared to a nightwing getting regular freckles from the sun.

The top of the wing matches with the darkest scale coloring. This goes back to the counter shading.

Depending on the amount of light is in a hatchery, A Nightwing's underside of their wing can show nebulae.

The Nightwings with nebulae are considered exotic and attractive to most others of their tribe.

Their wings are pretty normal for dragons. Though, a Nightwing's wings are covered in little peach fuzz hairs to help aid them in silent flight. This is especially helpful at night.

Nightwings are the second tallest tribe and are the third largest in terms of weight.

They have the second strongest bite force of all of the tribes.

I'm Needing to do the Mudwings, Icewings, Leafwings, Hivewings, and Silkwings. None have been posted yet as I want to post them when I'm done with all of them. Some headcannons are for me to reference back to when I'm drawing each tribe. Others are based on lore head cannons. So, Hopefully everyone enjoys the content.

My ask box is primarily for people who want to interact with any of my OCs, ask about any lore to stories I write, or for people asking me to explain my reasoning for things. I'm open to other things as well, but those are the main things I will reply to.
