#skywing egg

[scrollwyrm]

What if… Hvitur and the SkyWing dragonet had survived?

My new fic’s coming soon! So excited XD

[tawnysquilf]

Wof characters as warrior cats! This is also kinda old. I'll probably redo these eventually.

[dawnxd]

A little sketch I did of Hvitur while testing out a new blending brush I found :]

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.

[starryknight-dragonarts]

I realized something

In the WoF community there was speculation that either Peril or Sky was actually Trans because they are identical twins who hatched from the same egg. I like Trans headcanons but personally I don't think this one holds much water. Queen Scarlet is a huge bitch and I doubt she is a trans ally especially in a matriarchal society, she never would have supported Peril identifying as a girl if she was born biologically male. While it's true when twin reptiles are born from the same egg, they should always the same gender, Wings of Fire adds a fantastical element of "Fire Scales" and the gender of reptiles can also be affected by temperature. Cooler nests tend to hatch Males, while Warmer nests hatch Females. Peril hatched with too much Fire and Sky hatched with no Fire at all, sounds like Hot and Cool development.

Wof AU where the Skywing egg and Hvitur survive but Burn leaves one of her soldiers behind to finish off the egg and Hvitur for reasons I’ll decide later (possibly the soldier was “too soft” and this was her way of toughening him up)

Anyways the egg hatches in the soldier’s talons (think just a man from epic) so he flees with Hvitur and the dragonet

So they raise the egg as totally just friends because that’s obviously what it is guys just two guy friends raising a baby together and cuddling at night and sharing longing glances that’s literally all it is I swear

And then they kiss maybe

[hazieash]

A little jealousy and shenanigans

dude I cooked up trying out wof roblox finding out it was free to play. I got him stuck in the floor so many times it gave me a brilliant idea; that he just didn’t have them at all.

Introducing, Smog the legless skywing, the little wyrm, the man of the hour! I’m a little bit obsessed with him I kinda love him. The dude ever. He’s outwardly rude and shitty to most strangers (just repaying what they send his way <3) but can’t resist helping someone in need or danger. Generic hard ass protagonist with a heart of gold except he’s a dragon with no legs

[pinetreepilgrimage]

Ok so, followup of the QNAs (i was at one of them!!!)

- The kraken was mentioned and said that apart from dragons, there aren’t any other mythical creatures. Also that it was inspired off of some of the monsters drawn on the old maps. This one seemed to be peaceful (the one mentioned in the book of clearsight) and she warned the queen at the time to not send dragons after it.

-She mentioned the spider tribe, saying they would have been named WebWings but she didn’t go with it. If it were up to me to choose a new tribe to create I would have made a tribe about storms or weather, that would be fantastic. WebWings would have been neat though, maybe as a BeetleWing ancestor/ successor that got lost to time?

-To my wonderful relief she remembered the lost egg, and I was so excited! I thought I was gonna stare at that prologue forever.. just knowing there’s a secret SkyWing egg out there who’d tell a facinating story about destiny and another angle the Dragonets of Destiny’s future could have been forgotten made me sad. But! HOORAY! She also tied it to BERYL, who’s a dragon mentioned in Scarlets kill list in an eerily calm manner compared to the furious or jeering way she wrote the others. Could Beryl be the mother? It would have an interesting callback to Kestrel and how she similarly stole an egg and got away with it, but she never made it. Poor angry Kestrel, doomed to die eventually. I’m so excited that Tui is gonna let Peril and Sky meet, maybe in a winglet, that means she probably has a plan for those! She also mentioned that we should consider a scene of Glory finding out that Wren calls Deathbringer Murderbasket canon in her mind.

-I actually have another question I forgot to list on my original post! It’s that we don’t know why the Pantalan dragons left in the first place. It’s only stated that they “could never go back” but why is that?

-Some other news about book 16;

Shes writing character backstories, and there WILL be new characters. Shes in her ideas phase, and is putting down her thoughts to page.

We do not have a planned release date

- Also! FanWing Fest as been planned for spring 2025, and we’ll get to vote on a location soon! I’m so gonna go!! She said it’ll be in a US city, and that we should check the website from time to time to see if the poll is up!

Big news all around, I’m so happy! Perhaps more of these questions will be answered in the future, if they are, I’ll reblog this again.

let me know if you guys wanna see the footage i recorded for her North Carolina appearance :^)

Some things in the Wings of fire series i wish were elaborated on more:

-The kraken mentioned in The Book of Clearsight

-history of animus SkyWings

-if the Night and LeafWing populations could genetically bottleneck in the future due to low numbers

-what BeetleWings looked like in detail, tbh I want to hear more about potential extinct tribes or what dragons looked like between the scorching and now

-Tui saying she avoids giving dragons spider based names becasue she had a potential tribe idea (i forgot where i heard this one so take it with salt)

-non royal Sea and IceWings

-who else might have used DarkStalker’s scroll over the 2000+ years it was lying around

-RainWing history, in general

-the runty SkyWing egg that was mentioned in the prologue of Escaping Peril on the brightest night that was never found

-the origin of NightWing powers (and animus powers, but that seems like too big a question to ask. The better question is about what will happen to it)

feel free to add more

[glassshine]

Kestrel and Webs assess the no skywing egg situation

[guardeners]

Warmups.

If you're curious about the two-headed dragon, they go by the name Auguarth/Falsifier.

Lore dump:

In my Wings of Fire universe, the number of dragons born with wings has gradually declined due to the pressure of gravity, which has made it increasingly difficult for them to take flight.

Over time, most dragons have evolved to be born without wings, though there are still occasional exceptions. Those who are born with wings often face severe health issues as they age unless they undergo surgery to remove them.

Auguarth, a dragon born from a RainWing/SandWing and a SkyWing, was part of a large egg—the biggest in the clutch—though it was actually meant to be triplets, with the other embryos being absorbed during development. When Auguarth finally hatched, they were weak and unhealthy. Left behind by their parents, they were fortunate to be found and taken in by a group of humans who decided to raise them.

That's the extent of what I'll give you, there's so much but I am not writing a whole essay.

[b1asho]

Wof ocs: land-dwelling seawing and grounded skywing (aka Kelp and Osprey). It’s not like they Can’t swim or fly, but it’s a lot harder for them than the average joe.

I don’t have a whole lot of plot for them; they mostly just travel together avoiding the active battlegrounds and maybe help escort an ailing Mudwing kid to her family at some point. Par for the course with my ocs, they’re both losers. They initially only really hang out together for the mutual benefits: Osprey is intimidating enough to ward off most bandits by looks alone and has a more realistic approach to setting goals and general direction (filling in a leadership role and balancing out Kelp’s lack of a backbone or stranger danger sense and curbing her absurd fantasies ) while Kelp knows a little more about *how* to actually get things done and has a better approximation of people skills (filling in Osprey’s considerable gaps in knowledge about anything that’s not farm animals or military tactics and balancing out his aggressively distrustful demeanor that prevents him from asking for help. She’s also the one who can talk their way into and out of situations) they eventually figure out they’re a good team and more or less hang around each other

Right now I think the two are somewhere on the coast near the Diamond spray delta????(google map of Pyrrhia idk)

Some general info related to what’s on the page:

Every tribe has a lot of regional variety in terms of physical appearance. For skywings, the northern ones are the most populous and have united the other major aeries under the goal of pushing for imperial expansion on the side of burn. Northern skywings have the most dimorphism between males and females as well as the brightest colors out of the skywing region types (females have a very distinct reddish orange coloring while males have duller browns and yellows, as opposed to ospreys group where it’s switched to darker brown f vs lighter brown m) This is because they have the most unbalanced parental care system, where the male raises the chicks alone while the female leaves. No matter the type of physical difference, the social separation is ever present and more or less as extreme (completely matriarchal). An aerie is a nesting area for a group of related individuals, where there is one dominant female, a pool of married-in males (one is chosen every season to be the matriarchs pair), some other female subordinates, and the matriarchs kids (including some adult males). Females are leaders, hunters, and providers while the males do menial labor or domestic, and craft tasks. Among all skywing ethnicities, there are cases of males being born with female coloring or vice versa. Males with female coloring do not have a place in society according to their rules, since they look like a female but can’t lay eggs (meaning they are ‘broken’ in the eyes of their peers. They can’t even participate in making eggs because that would look gay and I’m deciding that theyre homophobic for fun/because of the sanctity they put on the hetero-ness of their everything). They’d normally just be driven out in bigger northern aeries, but Osprey is an exception because of his slightly different culture and because his group needed every worker they could get to survive on their land (he was kinda just treated like a defective female that has to work with the males. Not fun). A female with male coloring is more tolerated ONLY if they stay celibate and out of the way of the “real” females (often, they are just put in all-female homes as an attendant). Ospreys aerie was a small and rural one that practiced subsistence herding/hunting, so it wasn’t hard for a northern recruiter to strong-arm them with a little military coercion and cash into giving up their eligible youths for the draft. He didn’t really feel a particularly strong bond with any of his family group due to their previously described sentiments towards his condition, but it’s still a blow to the ego to know that they sold him off to die for not even one iron ingot. He got lucky with the force he was taken into (they got bronze swords and leather armor, which is more than some other skywing soldiers) but not so lucky with the area he was sent to (Sandwing ambush). After being badly wounded and finding out he was the only survivor, he fled rather than going back to a northern base and has been evading capture (and execution) since. The lack of depth perception/decreased vision in general means he can seriously mess up landing and taking off in crowded areas like a forest, and can’t do a lot of complicated maneuvers anymore. Despite already being jaded and cynical at his big teen age, he’s not really equipped to be on his own at all and has been thrown off the deep end in terms of experiencing the world for the first time.

Seawings live in pods of family members and some outsiders. Unlike other dragons, they are actually led by a pair-bonded male and female rather than it being a female-led harem type thing. This pair are the bulls, and they’re bigger than everyone else because of hormones (they’re the only reproductive members. This is enforced to varying degrees between pods, some larger more organized ones even have legislation about it. Homosexual activity is encouraged to prevent threats to the bulls (aka new kids or a new mating pair). Through interacting with other tribes, some of the more powerful “superpods” made up of multiple family lines have adopted a more female-dominant system where there are still physically distinct bulls but only the female does any governing. For trade and other stuff, too, pods will normally only send their female members since no one else would respect a male. Kelps pod was a mid-sized one that was technically a part of another super pod’s domain, but they only really interacted through some resource taxes and occasional new laws being delivered. Kelp was on the bottom rung of the social ladder and chafed a lot with her pod because of her general weirdness and lack of strong allegiance to her bull (her mother). She still feels sentiment towards them because they raised her, but was never able to fit in. The superpod they were under was allied with blister, making their territory a target for mudwings and skywings. Eventually, Kelp’s pod was affected by this when an ongoing battle between the superpod’s troops and some mudwings spilled into their land. The superpod forces lost and Kelps home was looted, in the process she was burned and separated from the others. For about a week she hung around tending to her own wounds to see if her pod would regroup somewhere, but eventually left to find a real doctor (trying not to think about the implications of them not coming back) it’s been about a month since then, and she has somehow been stumbling by using her craft skills. Shes been robbed several times and has only gotten away with her life thanks to the good ol tail slap+ massive seal teeth jaw strength combo (other than that all her health problems are 100x worse because she’s on land most of the time to avoid Mudwing-patrolled rivers and the hostility of other pods.) She’s never been outside her pods range before and the world is not so great, but she has a positive outlook (some might even say a foolishly optimistic one).

Prince Flame au (+Cherrylime)

In this au, Flame is Vermilion's unplanned child. Avalanche (in this au, she was a countess) took Flame's egg with her to ToP, hoping that her child would be able to stop the war. Flame eventually learns of his origins and becomes very angry at his mother for ruining his life as a prince. However, when Flame gets to the castle, he feels like an outsider and begins to learn everything from the rich skywings.

All the rich skywings (and not only) wear wreaths made of plants, which most represent them. Flame wears a wreath made of castor oil plant. This is an extremely poisonous plant, and Flame wanted to scare others with it. However, despite its poisonousness, castor oil plant has secret healing properties, hinting that Flame is not so callous inside.

Also in this au, Vermilion and Chameleon are lovers, so their children are literally siblings.

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.

-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:

-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)

-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.
