The year everyone became dragons...

Story: In the year 2026 a worldwide anomaly occured, turning all of humanity into various dragon species from the Wings of Fire novel series. The transformation is instantaneous and permanent. There is no possible way to reverse the transformation. Historians called the year "The dragon reawakening."

Dragons are sentient and sapient species of reptile, capable of speaking both the dragon and human languages, constructing tools, composing literature, and complex thought. Every dragon has the mind of the former human they once were.

Dragon types:

(IceWing) IceWing scales can range from silvery-gray and white to pale shades of blue and purple, intended to blend into their icy surroundings. Their coloring has been described as "silver like the moons," "pale blue like ice," "as pale as the moons," or "moon-white scales." IceWings have dark blue, sky blue, icy blue, or stormy gray eyes, with forked blue tongues and dark blue blood and guts. The head of an IceWing is shaped like a diamond and is very narrow, with spikes continuing down their back and tail and a ruff of extra spikes behind their heads. They are usually lean dragons with whip-thin tails that have icicle-shaped spines, ending in very sharp tips. They have serrated claws for gripping the ice. Some IceWings have unusual patterns, such as Lynx, with dark freckles or markings on their faces and wings. When upset, some IceWings have been shown to ruffle up the spikes around their necks.

IceWings prefer to eat creatures that live in cold climates, such as reindeer, whales, penguins, hawks, polar bears, seals, walruses, and fish. IceWing meals have been described as containing "bowls of dripping meat." They also consume scavengers, though not very often, as they are rare in the Ice Kingdom. Seals are common among the lower classes due to the gift of subsistence, which consists of holes in the ice found in three different villages where the lower-born IceWings live which are enchanted to always give the hunter a seal when they stick a talon in. IceWings would also eat frozen berries and even have ice cream. IceWings typically enjoy their food raw.

For event feasts such as coronations, IceWings may consume elaborate courses, such as kelp and sedge salads garnished with garlic and ginger, crab soup with moss, whale skin topped with polar bear meat, narwhal blubber seasoned with fulmar oil, diced puffin breast, grated gannet stomach stew, scavenger liver, shark heart, and desserts such as shaved ice flavored with maple syrup and lemons. They will also eat dishes from other dragon types, such as frozen cream made from milk and melons, from the MudWings.

IceWings can withstand subzero temperatures and very bright light. They have serrated claws for gripping ice, which can also be used offensively in battle. They have sharper eyesight than the other dragon tribes. IceWings can exhale a freezing weapon called frostbreath, which appears as a cloud of sparkling smoke.

(MudWing) MudWings have thick, armored scales. They are usually earthy colors, such as shades of brown, and amber. They are most known for their flat snouts, brute strength, and large size. They may also have gold or amber underscales, usually more visible in sunlight. Their nostrils are located on the top of the snouts, allowing them to lay submerged in mud for long periods of time, usually around one hour. They have thick, curved horns and broad, flat heads. Their eyes have been described as brown, gold, shades of amber, and hazel, sometimes with yellow rings around the pupils. Their bodies are muscular and robust, being based on crocodiles. MudWings may also have markings such as dappled scales.

MudWings love food and are willing to eat nearly anything, including both fruit and meat. In the marshes, they eat crocodiles and other swamp-dwelling creatures. MudWings will raise and breed livestock such as cows. Their diet is noted to also consist of water birds, hippos, water buffalo, cows, and elephants. Newborn dragonets eat earthworms and moles. MudWings also prepare dishes such as frozen cream with melon

MudWings can breathe fire if their bodies are warm enough. They can hold their breath for up to an hour and blend into mud. They are usually physically strong. MudWings hatched from blood-red eggs have fireproof scales.

(NightWing) NightWings are based on monitor lizards. They have been described to have forked, pitch-black tongues, as well as dark scales which are usually black or in shades of dark green, blue, purple, or dull gray. They also may have purple, dark blue or dark green underbellies, and dapples of silver scales running along their necks. Their wings have silver scales scattered across them like the stars of a night sky, forming different patterns. These patterns are genetic. NightWings have been described with black, dark blue, purple, or dark green eyes. They have straight horns.

NightWings can melt into shadows and blend into the night sky due to their colors and wing patterns. Mind readers have silver teardrop scales by the corners of their eyes, and empaths will also have these teardrop scales; however, it is possible that NightWings with teardrop scales may not have this ability.

Most NightWings ate carrion, which others noted gave most of them severe halitosis by dragon standards - enough to tell apart who could hunt fresh meat or not. They would bite their prey, poisoning it with bacteria from inside their mouths, and leave it to decease. After it was dead, they would return to eat it. On the island, seafaring birds could be found. They would also hunt in the rainforest, for prey such as sloths, and may have gathered some fruit. While living on this island, most NightWings ate once per week, which contributed to their malnutrition.

NightWings can breathe fire and blend into dark shadows. They have a strong sense of smell and powerful night vision. NightWing dragonets hatched under one full moon have the power of mind-reading or prophecy, and those hatched under two full moons have both. Dragonets hatched under the full moon have both powers, which are further enhanced by the moon.

(RainWing) RainWings are based on chameleons. They are long and graceful, with ruffs behind their ears, curved horns, and prehensile tails that are used primarily for climbing, swinging in trees, and hanging off branches in the rainforest they inhabit, like birds of paradise. When afraid, insulted, or angry, RainWings flare their ruffs as a sign of aggression or hostility. RainWings have small, round scales that can change color. Most RainWings prefer vivid, bright colors; however, if they wish, they can camouflage to look like they have disappeared. They can control the color of their scales, though they often have a hard time stopping strong emotions from showing through them. Most RainWings have a 'default' color scheme that they set their scales to when they are not showing emotions, and they may not be able to camouflage when they are afraid or in pain. RainWings also cannot camouflage if someone who does not know how to camouflage is mind-controlling them. RainWings are able to blend into their surroundings at will otherwise. Although their eyes shift colors like their scales, RainWings primarily have green, yellow, brown, or blue eyes.

RainWings are able to mimic the realistic appearance of other tribes with their scales. RainWing dragonets develop their color-shifting scales while they are still in their eggs, which are pale, smooth, and white. RainWings have sun-time to make their scales beautiful and improve their mood.

RainWings are generally vegetarians, but some will eat monkeys and other rainforest animals. Some stated that eating sloths could cause indigestion for days due to how much fur they have and suggested not to eat them for that reason. As sloths are a RainWing pet, it is strongly frowned upon to eat them. Some RainWings are quite protective of their sloths and will not let others eat them, as shown with Exquisite. While fruit and various rainforest plants are the main part of their diets, RainWings also eat chocolate. RainWings are known to eat less than the other dragon tribes when they nap in the sun

RainWings have prehensile tails which are used for climbing trees and swinging through the rainforest. They are capable of absorbing sunlight, which gives them energy and makes their scales become more vibrant. RainWings can manipulate their scales to be any color they wish to blend into their surroundings or express their emotions, and they can also change the color of their eyes. They can spit a corrosive venom that dissolves organic materials. Some are capable of mimicking bird calls.

(SandWing) SandWings are partly based on scorpions. They have pale yellow, pale gold, white-gold, or light yellow-brown scales that blend in with the desert sand. They have obsidian-black eyes, a spike on the top of their nose and below their ear, and a black forked tongue. They have short, curved horns and a sail or ridge going from the top of their snout to about three fourths down their tails, which have a scorpion-like stinger at the end. Their tail barb is typically dark in color. SandWings may have different patterns on their scales and wings, including black diamond patterns, brown speckled markings, freckles, and triangle patterns on a dragon's wings.

Due to the minimal amount of food found in the desert they live in, SandWings are light eaters. They may cook or prepare much of their food. They eat animals from the desert, such as camels, lizards, desert rodents, desert foxes, and roasted scorpions and beetles. Date cookies, dried figs, biscuits, dried dates and fruit, bread, small birds, honey, berries, tortillas and roasted lizards and camels are prepared in the SandWing palace's kitchen. They drink coffee, camel milk, cinnamon milk, cactus cider, and agave nectar. SandWings are willing to eat food not found or scarcely found in the desert such as fruit, vegetables, antelope, and dishes such as crocodile stew. SandWings in Vulture's compound also eat scavengers, smelly cheese, cinnamon, coconut, smoked ham, lemons, dried fish, and ducks. SandWings of Six-Claws' time baked date soufflé and made camel shish-kebab.

SandWings have scales that radiate warmth. They can breathe fire, bury themselves in the desert sand for camouflage, and survive on very little food and water. They also have sharp hearing and smell, and barbed tails which capable of injecting venom that can kill a full-grown dragon.

(SeaWing) SeaWings are considered short in height with long, compact bodies and short legs. They have curved horns, a slender, curved snout, and two barbels on the underside of their jaw. Their tongues can be forked or non-forked. They have webbed spines along the backs of their necks to the tips of their tails, as well as on their chests. SeaWings have webbed talons with hooked claws, as well as long, powerful tails that are useful for swimming. They have gills on the sides of their necks that allow them to breathe underwater. SeaWings commonly have scale colors in the ranges of blues and greens, including indigo, blue-green, aquamarine, and shades of gray. Although rare, dragons may have pink scales, wings, or horns. Some SeaWings can also have black spiraling patterns, like those shown on Nautilus. In the sunlight, their scales may look like glossy emeralds and sapphires. SeaWings usually have eyes that are a shade of blue or green.

SeaWings have glowing stripes along their faces, bodies, and wings. Members of the royal family have glowing spirals on the edges and starburst markings on the undersides of their wings, while most non-royal SeaWings have smaller starbursts but no spiral patterns.

SeaWings mainly eat raw fish and other aquatic creatures such as whales, squid, octopi, turtles, crabs, and sea snails, while lower class SeaWings eat eels, though this is stated insultingly. SeaWings may also prepare soup, stew, and roasted seagull, usually for guests from other dragon types.

SeaWings can breathe and see underwater, and are strong swimmers. They have exceptional night vision and powerful tails. SeaWings have bioluminscent stripes on their bodies which are used to converse underwater and attract partners. They can control when the stripes on their bodies glow and can light up each one individually. Different combinations of stripes indicate different words in Aquatic.

SkyWings are based on traditional Western dragons. They have red, crimson, orange, yellow, or rust-colored scales. SkyWings typically have yellow, orange, or amber eyes, though Peril and Sky are exceptions, having blue eyes due to their conditions. SkyWing scales are "jewel-hard." They also have the largest wings of any tribe, and long, curved horns on their heads. Most SkyWing snouts are thin and long, with a nose-spike, and an extra horn on their jaw. SkyWing eggs are a translucent white when nearing their hatching day. Most known SkyWings have stereotypically been portrayed as short-tempered, militaristic, anti-social, grumpy, mean, and fond of violence.

(SkyWing) SkyWings have enormous wings and are capable of flying long distances due to their stamina. They can breathe fire and are considered powerful fighters. They can see farther than other dragon tribes. A SkyWing dragonet in a twin egg may develop firescales, a condition where their scales are incredibly hot to the touch and can ignite anything flammable by merely making physical contact with it.

SkyWings are the fastest fliers of any dragon tribe due to their enormous wings and endurance, and they are built for flying longer distances because of their stamina. SkyWing dragonets also learn to fly at a fairly young age. They are capable of breathing fire and are considered powerful fighters. They can see farther and have better cold resistance than most tribes, excluding IceWings.

SkyWings are shown to eat mountain goats, chicken, foxes, deer, bobcats, cows, pigs, sheep, and rodents. They have been described to eat roasted seagulls. SkyWings also grow their own crops. Their diet is also noted to consist of cougars, squirrels, rabbits, and birds of prey.

(LeafWing) LeafWings can be various shades of green and brown, even to the point of being nearly black in color. They can also sometimes have golden accents or pinkish red streaks on their bodies and wings. They have green or brown eyes and webbed spines along their neck and back, similar to those of a SeaWing. The webbing along their back splits into individual pieces near the base of the tail, which are shaped like leaves. Their snouts are slightly curved, with a raised ridge on the end.

LeafWings have a flat plated tail, ending in a leaf-shaped oval at the tip. Their wings are leaf-like, playing directly into their namesake. They are also slightly transparent, with veins in the webbing and rounded edges. Their horns appear to be skinny, curved, and flat-ended, and the scales above their eyes continue over the top of their horns, giving it a partially plated look. Their scales are uneven and vaguely resemble chloroplasts and plant cells. They have a plated underbelly and a slender body shape. Their legs seem to be slightly short and thin.

LeafWings can absorb energy from sunlight and are accomplished gardeners. Some possess leafspeak, which allows dragons to talk to plants and can be used to convince plants or seeds to grow at an accelerated rate.

LeafWings are somewhat autotrophic, being able to absorb energy from the sun that allows them to eat infrequently. They are omnivores and consume animals in the Poison Jungle, such as panthers, snails, capybaras, frogs, insects, and wild pigs. LeafWings also consume taro, sugared grasshoppers, and chocolate, usually as a snack or treat. LeafWings sometimes cook their food for occasions such as all-tribe feasts. LeafWings are also noted to eat kambu, potatoes, and fruits such as mangos, bananas, papayas, avocados, and dragonberries.

(HiveWing) HiveWings have slender, strong, sharp, and muscular bodies. They have four thin, clear, and segmented wings that resemble those of wasps, dragonflies, and other insects. They have a slightly compact face, with a small axe-like ridge on the tip of their snout, and a second, larger curved ridge on the middle of their snout. They have a pair of long, curved, smooth-looking horns. Some HiveWings hatch with stingers in their wrists, tails, or under their claws that have the ability to inject venom. HiveWing scales can be red, yellow and/or orange. They always have at least a few black scales mixed in inherited from their shared ancestor, Clearsight. Some are almost completely black in color.

HiveWings powers vary from dragon to dragon. Abilities include deadly stingers that can extend from their wrists to stab targets, venom in their teeth or claws, a paralyzing toxin known as nerve poison that can immobilize targets, or spraying a boiling acid from a stinger on their tails. They can also emit a horrible stench. HiveWings have a precise internal clock that keeps their days on schedule and warns them when the rainy season is coming.

HiveWings are omnivorous and eat animals that live on the savanna, such as zebras, wildebeest, gazelle, lions, and antelope. HiveWings also eat confections, such as honey drops and nectar, as well as vegetables grown in the Hive greenhouses

(SilkWing) SilkWings have two pairs of wings, one pair smaller than the other, with membranes that have rounded edges. SilkWings have butterfly-like wings, which appear similar to butterfly or moth wings in shape. Their wings also can have spots and other patterns on them. The bigger pair of wings appear to have four digits that the membrane is stretched between. The smaller pair of wings are attached slightly below the larger pair and have two digits. According to Tui on the Wings of Fire Forums, SilkWing wings are just as strong as any dragon's wings, rather than weak like an insect's wings. In some cases, as shown on the back cover of The Lost Continent, SilkWings can have the "tail-streamers" that swallowtail butterflies do on their lower, smaller wings.

SilkWings can be any color under the sun except black, such as olive green, aquamarine, lavender, indigo, amber, orange, dark purple, peach, gray, and red. They sometimes have darker accent colors on their scales. The wing's membranes appear to be different colors too, as well as certain segments between the digits being a different color than the rest of the wings. Their eyes can be any color.

SilkWings can spin silk from glands on their wrists to create webs and other woven articles such as tapestries. They can detect and sense vibrations with their antennae to assess threats. SilkWings have a precise internal clock that keeps their days on schedule and warns them when the rainy season is coming. They are also great climbers. Some SilkWings have the power to produce flamesilk.

SilkWings are vegetarians. Their diet includes yams, okra, garbanzo beans, kale, kumquats,[16] fruits, honey, and persimmons. They also enjoy honey drops, nectar, chocolate, and various candies.

(BeetleWing) BeetleWings had four wings and were described as being brightly colored. Clearsight thought they were more beautiful than even RainWings. BeetleWings are hatched without wings but develop them later on, similar to SilkWings.

BeetleWings were rumored to have antennae and the ability to shoot venom. Some could use flamesilk. They can have venom-tipped claws.
