Wind Walker- How to Train Your Dragon (books)

At a young age, Windwalkers have larger eyes and ears, small horns, 5 curved claws on each foot, and small protruding saber teeth. They are covered with both fur and feathers, and are a bit of an ugly duckling. As an adolescent, the Windwalker begins to lose the fur and grow sleeker. It has not yet mastered flying, but still can carry a person and move swiftly on the ground. As an adult, the Windwalker grows a longer neck, darker scales, wickedly sharp, curved claws, and its maw now resembles that of a crocodile, with many of its teeth showing. The nose horn grows longer and its ears are smaller than when it was young. It can now seat 3 people whereas it used to have slight trouble carrying one. The Windwalker is truly impressive on maturation. Windwalkers form a chrysalis at the age of seventeen years and emerge in six to seven months. According to the short story When the Windwalker Changed, a Winderwalker once emerged from its chrysalis stage has transformed into a Dark Defender, a dragon that was so rare that it was thought to be a myth. A Dark Defender has the ability to fly extremely fast and shoot lightning from their mouth. Windwalkers are one of the few dragons able to fly into the thin upper atmosphere, and as an older adolescent can almost match a Silver Phantom in flight. It also has an advantage in flight, being small and sleek as it can execute sharp turns impossible for any other larger dragon. Windwalkers have excellent hearing and sight. Their nictitating membranes (third eyelids) are transparent, allowing the dragon eye protection but not compromising sight. They are able to speak Dragonese, though this Windwalker is portrayed as mute. Windwalkers are faithful and fast. Windwalkers reportedly smell like hot chocolate.
