Meet Siftwing—a dragon with an uncanny knack for finding ease in Berk’s rough edges. His name stems from his habit of sifting through the island’s sandy shores, where he’s often found half-buried, scales glinting under a crust of sand as he dozes through the day’s heat. Don’t be deceived by his languid sprawl, though—when roused, he takes to the skies with you astride, cutting through the crisp coastal wind, his wings humming as he vies with Toothless and Hiccup in a swift, spirited chase. Proof, perhaps, that one can savor both rest and rivalry in equal measure.

Holy crap you guys @alec-volturi aka the amazing editor behind Maelstrom. . .👁️ just drew Siftwing for the upcoming chapter (I won’t spoil which chapter hehe) and he looks SO cool. 🤧🔥

Given the absence of direct visual references for Siftwing, I’ve been using distant imagery of Syrax, (dragon from hotd), as a conceptual guide. Sili has graciously offered to create detailed illustrations to share with you, providing a clear vision of this character. I can’t wait for the moment when he is fully revealed, you’re going to love him so much 🥹💗
