How Do Skywings Walk? (headcanon)

How do skywings walk? (headcanon)

Many skywings (usually high status ones) do not use their front legs to move. They use their wings instead. As in canon, wings of skywings are very large and heavy, so they often place them on the ground. The wings are muscular and strong enough to be used instead of the front legs for walking. Many skywings prefer to move around like this and use their front paws to hold objects. Since ancient times, skywings have been one of the most advanced tribes (they first experienced industrialization, the discovery of electricity, etc.), so using their front paws to control objects greatly helped them in their development. Also, some high-status skywings believe that with such movement the dragon is less likely to get sick, since the gloved front paws remain clean.

Au where Qibli says yes. From a thematic perspective he really should have. Anyway, a poor unfortunate souls map with these two would be awesome.

I’ve posted this before but not on its own.
