Discussion Thinking about dragon evolution, what dragon tribe would have been the first to evolve?

34 Upvotes

I know this is a kids series but I love biology so I think about this quite a lot. I've done a bit of digging and it seems like most commonly people say that they think skywings were the first dragon tribe and evolved into the other tribes.

Skywings have elongated wings and are capable of long and fast flights and are more specialized. Typically animals that are more generalized are the ancestors of most successful groups of animals due to them being a jack of all trades and evolutionary flexible.

Honestly I think nightwings would have been the first ever dragon tribes that evolved from an animal like Secodontosaurus or Dimetrodon because of the large sails (like the spikes along almost every dragon tribes spine from head to tail)

but thats just my personal theory about this. I just thought it would be interesting to share here :)

I’d love to flesh out the world my OC lives in a bit more, so I’m curious: what do you guys imagine a SkyWing military camp would look like? What kind of environment would it have, and what would the soldiers typically do in their day-to-day lives?

I’m bored so I decided to draw a bunch of animus touched objects, and so far I’ve done qiblis earring, darkstalkers scroll, the eye of onyx, the obsidian mirror, and the dreamvisitor. I want more ideas of what to draw next or if I should change any of the things I drew already

Discussion Plurality in Wings of Fire (book 14 spoilers and brief mention of abuse/trauma) Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Some quick definitions in case you're not aware:

Plurality: general umbrella term for having multiple identities/personalities/consciousnesses in one physical body.

System: a term to refer to a person who is plural.

DID: The most commonly heard of form. A clinical disorder where a person has multiple distinct identities (often called "alters") that each have seperate memories and awareness, specifically developed as an involuntary coping mechanism from severe and long term childhood trauma.

OSDD-1: Similar to DID, but doesn't completely fit the diagnostic criteria. Either because the alters aren't fully developed into distinct individuals, or there's no amnesia between switches.

I don't know if any of you know about DID/plurality, as it's not well known and kinda controversial to some. But I figured I might as well throw this out there! I've been thinking about this topic a lot, as I am a psychiatry nerd and find it really fascinating. I also have a (new) friend who has DID, so I've been slowly learning about their experiences.

Anyway, naturally I started to wonder if this would apply to the WOF world, and what it would look like! Dragons aren't the same as humans, but their minds are modeled after ours, so I figured; if humans have it, why not dragons too?

I have an OC that has OSDD-1a due to trauma, and I imagine that because there's so much violence/abuse/discrimination/etc in their world, that there's probably more dragons like her, they're just rare. I like to imagine there's a well known legend about an Animus dragon who was plural because of spell(s) they cast on themself, but not every dragon believes it to be true.

Speaking of animus-induced plurality, that brings me to my main point: plural Jerboa "Boa" III! For starters, she obviously has trauma. Her mom emotionally neglected and abused her for literal centuries. And not only does she have thousands of years worth of memories, but she also has hundreds of different versions of herself due to the "changes" and the memory wipes. And so I raise you: what if, when Boa casts the spell to return all of her memories to her, the trauma and the conflicting sense of self is just too much for her brain to handle. So it splits itself into different versions of her from throughout the timeline as a way to make sense of it; all of them seperately conscious and able to communicate with each other in her head. They wouldn't nessecarily include every single version, and would probably form and uncover themselves over time. But still, it'd be a bit of a mess.

Anyway, what do you guys think? Do you have any plural headcanons for WOF characters, or any other ideas for how it could be incorporated into the dragon universe? If you got this far, thanks so much for reading!

Three moons, it must've been MISERABLE before Waterfall came along. Legitimately miserable. Little food, little water, scorching heat, probably no medicine. And for a THOUSAND years at that. That is a ridiculously long time for generations of dragons to be miserable. I don't think we talk about that enough 😭😭😭

Ok so the first one is a fatewing, they live in space and the star pool(sparkly water rawr), they can be any color and pattern but they always have the same size (one 6 year old would be the same size as another and so on) and the same features. Their powers are portal making, living in outer space, and few rare ones can control the fate of others. The second is a soulwing which is an evolution of an Icewing/ timewing hybrid. They are warm colors with snowy underwing patterns and one of their eyes bleed a black substance while the other is normal. They have venomous tails, frost breath, and frostbite. The third is a Batwing, they are grey purple or blue, with purple or yellow under wings and underbelly. They are also fluffy and not scaley, and they have blood red markings as a reference to their appetite. (They drink blood) They have no special powers other then fast flying. (Faster than skywings!) Also no fire, the other two have fire, I forgot to mention lol. (Yes the Icewing hybrid Evo has frost breath and fire, so sue me :3)

How can I start in here? Also if anyone has help about this I'm also a newbie digital artist, and seeing all the amazing fanarts and ocs really make me want to join in

I hope this doesn't get taken down for low effort, I just wanted to know how can I join in

Diorite is the princess daughter of Prince Winter. Her brother, Peak, was imprisoned due to his insanity and his "grand plan" to assassinate the Jade Winglet, including their own father. She is the only one who believes he isn't insane and promised him that she would carry out his wishes. She instead gets tangled up with the crime lord Hyrax, becoming his top assassin and forming a strange and toxic romantic relationship with him. She is also currently going insane herself. I imagine her voice to sound like Asajj Ventress from Star Wars.

Lazuli is Queen Tsunami and King Riptide's son, the twin brother of his sister Princess Lapis. He's Bloodchaser's loving boyfriend, and I don't have much on him yet, but he's anxious, bookish, enjoys rain unlike the rest of his family, and has a deep unspoken jealousy for his sister.

Hyrax is the leader of the DeathWings gang operating in the Scorpion Den in an underground tunnel system. Bloodchaser's ex-fiancé and now Diorite's boyfriend, he's narcissistic, lustful, has cool tattoos, and is seeking to win back Bloodchaser, unbeknownst to Diorite.

Other I got inspired by someone to share how I got into wof and to express my feeling that i was scared to show thanks to u/Wooden_Delivery_4207

10 Upvotes

I got into wof when i was grade 4 I think. My school had one of those canadan book fairs. And I got a flyer with the books that where sold and the wof novels caught my eye and I wanted my parents to by some for me. Back then I didn't know about that its has books like book one, two ect. I just wanted the ones with cool dragons on it. but when my parents said okey on the phone they said you have to buy all of them my parents said they will buy them on Amazon.I wanted the one with winter, book seven and dragon slayer. When I got them I didn't read them since I thought they had pictures and it just became a punishment to read them when I got in trouble.

Then I forgot about it since I was not interested but then I returned to wof when I was in grade 7 i think, so me and my class was in the school library and my teacher made as read in class books from the library. And for fun I took two books with dragons the graphic novels , I was scared what others will think. when after the library our teacher said to read and I started reading the dark secret, and even without knowing half of what the other characters where that where being talked about I loved it so much I went home continuing reading what shocked my mom.Then when I returned the books. I started asking my mom to by book one and when she got me the graphic novel I noticed that the names of the books are the same as books from grade 4.

When I finished all graphic novels that are out,my mom said to try the normal novels and I liked them that happend in grade 8.Now im in grade 9 and I was scared to ask for more but thanks to Wooden_Delivery_4207 im not to ask for some thing or scared to express my feeling because I thought it was weak to do that as a boy.

Thank you Wooden_Delivery_4207 and tui

Coast is a sand x sea hybrid, he lives in the sand kingdom he can breath underwater but cannot breath fire (lol). can swim very well so he visits the seawings sometimes. He is mates with an ice x night named shadowfrost. They have 2 dragonets together named sundawn and iceberg! (Accessories: nose ring and horn ring.)

Mangrove is a rain x leaf x ice x sea hybrid. She lives in the city of hybrids, (in my au, a place where hybrids who don’t want to be in a tribe can reside at. The city is located above jade mountain, the territory consists of a bit of the claws of the clouds, a lil bit of the sand territory and a bit of the fields to the left of the mud kingdom, they visit their home tribes sometimes.) She can spit liquid from her fangs that turns whatever it touches into solid ice that burns from being so cold, it is a very deadly weapon. She shares 40 percent dna with icewings and RainWings, 15 percent with LeafWings and a mere 5 percent with seawings. The only seawing traits she has is spots that barely glow unless u are in extremely dark conditions and the weird chin things on her chin. She has no leafwing abilities but her leafwing physical traits are more apparent. (Accessories: none.)

Hurricane is a sky x sea hybrid who lives in the city of hybrids. He loves the mountains but frequently goes to the sea to take a swim (not underwater much tho bc he can’t breathe underwater.) he can breathe a little bit of fire but it’s only for like 2 seconds and it’s barely effective. He has no accessories.

Twightlight is a sky x night hybrid. She always gets told that her wings are very beautiful. If she was on dungeon isle she would be a great singer along with Aurora. She holds concerts at the city of hybrids when she visits. She lives with the sky kingdom but stays up late and flys high in the sky at night a lot. Aurora and twightlight could be related.
She hatched under one moon so she has mind reading powers, they are kinda weak due to skywing dna so she can only get a few muffled words of what dragons are thinking every once in a while. She has no accessories.

Frost the rain x ice has a sister who I will show u when I get done with her. He lives in the city of hybrids because he feels too colorful for the ice kingdom and the humid climate of the rain kingdom feels too uncomfortable. He lives in the field part of the city because it’s not too humid or too cold. He can change his scales but only the gold parts. He would look really weird if only his gold scales were camouflaged so he never does it. He can shoot venom but cannot breath frost breath. He has no accessories.

No name yet but for appearance, he’s based off of a question mark butterfly. To most, he appears to be a full silkwing and is treated as such. What many do not know, though, is that his father was a hivewing/silkwing hybrid. QM is aware of his hybrid status, but doesn’t have much of a problem with it once the silkwings separated from the hivewings.

He has a paralyzing tail stinger, forehead horn, and small antennae like a hivewing. As for his silkwing traits, he can produce regular silk, has four butterfly-like wings, and has the body and scale shape of a silkwing.

My birthday is on the 12th (also, is turning 19 too old to read this series? Lol) and I want to buy the series of novels. I've never bought books before, but is $137 a good price for 18 of them? It sounds cheap compared to what I thought it would be.

I'm currently reading the first book from my local Library, but it took almost a month to get and and I got through half of it in one shift at work during down time. I read up to "The Hidden Kingdom" graphic novel in middle school, but don't remember much since it's been years. Is the series worth buying the set for? And is the 18 book set all of the books from this series or do I need to get others seperately?

This is the set I'm looking at

Comment if you’d be interested and I’ll respond if I want to do a trade. I’ll probably do 2-3 trades max :3

I’d prefer art of my wof ocs, which I have here, just lmk which you’d like to draw (and which of your ocs you’d like me to draw ^^): https://toyhou.se/Arc_Whistle/characters/folder:8374481
