Skywings - Tumblr Posts
Oh my gosh I love these!!!!! Your artstyle is so cool what!!???!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!
there they are
The other day I came up with a theory about firescales. You know how SandWing scales emit heat? What if it was just an exaggerated form of that? Like if a SkyWing mates with a SandWing, there's a chance of a genetic mutation that results in firescales? Maybe at some point thousands of years ago, the first time a sand-sky hybrid was born, it released that possible genetic mutation into the SkyWing tribe and now it just happens randomly. idk if this really makes sense but I thought it was kind of smart
Imo I think the dragons in Wof would have to have hollow bones. For how big they are it's kinda necessary for them to even get off the ground.
For Skywings I think they'd be especially light weight. They'd need a larger lung capacity to live / fly so high up. So basically think of the Rüppell's Vulture. So a Skywing would want to wear lots of armor to protect themselves since they are particularly vulnerable to attacks (just like real birds!)

Baby Peril: NO IM A DRAGON! I’M A DRAGON!
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.
(click for better quality btw :'3)
What if skywing were coloured based on the hotness of their fire?
Darker and red skywings are looked down upon and lighter yellow/white sky wings are treated better.
Blue skywings are treated almost like royalty and light blue ones are extremely rare.
Lighter white blue skywings are often mistaken for icewings by other dragons.
There hasn’t been a white blue skywing born in centuries, and they are talked about like angels.
(Btw all of these skywings are free adopts! Y’all can ask for one :)

Dragon pile amirite?
It’s everyone’s favorite dysfunctional troop (aka literally no one knows about them bc I just made them :)))
I have a headcanon to explain this. Because peril ate basically coal/ Black rocks most her life and sometimes burnt food that basically counts as charcoal.
I believe skywings are geovores! They can eat rocks, and gems like dragons in MLP. Animals in real life sometimes swallow rocks to help with digestion. But in my mind skywings are capable of getting nutrition from the rocks like mlp dragons, not so much following real life animals as there are no proper geovores.
I don’t understand how Peril manage to survive on burnt food and not starve to death? Does burnt food even give any nutrients? Or maybe Firescales are able to live off burnt food and stuff…

I drew my OC Animus Princess Twister of the Skywings!
Details:
Name:Twister
Age: 9 years old(Born 2005 AS)
Tribe:Skywings
Gender: Female(She/Her)
Family:Her twin brother is the beloved Prince Inferno, who although Twister cared about, she always felt a slight twinge of resentment toward him for how much everyone loved him, and how powerful his fire was compared to hers, and how in her eyes, she was completely inferior
Her mother meanwhile is The Skywing Queen Nimbus. When Twister and her brother were born, they each possessed certain abilities, with Inferno being a firescales, while Twister was in fact born an Animus, just like her mother. Her mother however knew both would be in danger to be killed as children with these abilities, and so enchanted it so part of Infernos constantly growing fire would be apart of Twister, though at times the spell malfunctioned due to Queen Nimbus not putting to much effort towards it
meanwhile she put much greater detail into Twisters spell, and locked away her daughters Animus powers so they would not awaken until Nimbus had either died, removed the spell herself, or the twins were put in mortal danger to where Twisters power would be let loose to save them, Nimbus would keep both of these a secret from them until she felt the time would be right for them to know, particularly from Twister, due to knowing her daughter would not be able to handle the knowledge.
Twister never liked her mother much even without this knowledge, always believing Queen Nimbus loved Inferno more than her
Likes: Whenever she manages to do something her brother couldn’t or hadn’t done yet, it brings her satisfaction. She also likes daydreaming of the day she can become Queen of the Skywings, though she often gets upset soon after her fantasies due to convincing herself she never could due to how much better her brother was and believing he would likely find a spouse who would then take the throne as The Queen(she was very relieved when she learned he had eyes for a Mudwing, even if she found his love for Valley extremely annoying). Something she also enjoys in the musical arts, like her brother, though she’s less open about it compared to Inferno.
Loves: For the most part, nothing, but she later falls for the mysterious Rain-Night Hybrid Lotuseater, who would often feed her ego and tell her she could be destined for greater things, and one day bring a better world.
Dislikes: Seawings due to them having slain her father before she was hatched during a war. She also hates Mudwings due to feeling as though they looked down on her whenever she and her brother went for diplomacy, it was all in her head, but she didn’t care. She also dislikes the attention and love her brother gets from the people, feeling it should be given to HER due to being the Crowned Princess and future Queen.
Hates: Three people, and one thing
first is her mother Queen Nimbus, particularly after learning the spell cast on her, always seeing her less as her mother and more an obstacle in her way to the greatness she feel is owed to her, and hates her even more after believing she took away that which made her better than everyone, with Twister believing her mother did it because she was scared she could easily take over the kingdom with it.
Second is the lone Mudwing Valley who her brother fell for. She hates her for mainly two. First is the fact she believes she took her brother’s attention away from her, and believes she is just a stupid Mudwing who was lucky enough for her brother to fall for IT of all things. Secondly is how Valley doesn’t treat her gravitas, and is casual and at times blunt towards her, and Twister despises the sheer audacity.
Finally is the ancient Mudwing Queen Delta, believing she is nothing but a foolish old woman who keeps her kingdom under their wings with their alliance. In part Twister is also envious of the power and love Queen Delta has from her people, with loyalty from the mudwings that has lasted generations, to the point where Queen Delta had never even been challenged by one of her children for 250 years.
She also hates olives
Goal: To Become Skywing Queen, and assert a dominance over the other Pyrrhian tribes so she can change the world to be one that praises and respects HER.
This was weirdly difficult to draw idk why-
