Pinewings (Rainwing1234)

== Appearance: ==
Pinewings are medium to small sized dragons that come in many different green colors. they are covered in two layers of scales, the first layer is usually brown, tan or orange and looks like a pinecone. while the second layer is green or in some cases a green-teal color and looks like pine needles. just like on pine trees the needles can vary in length from individual to individual. most have short pine needles however. Pinewing's tails are prehensile like Rainwings and are covered in pine needles just like the rest of their bodies. Pinewings shed their pine needles as they grow and replace them as well. when dehydrated their needles turn brown and they tend to look like they're wilting until they rehydrate. 
== Abilities: ==
=== Needles: ===
Pinewings have some needles hidden in their tail or extending from their the back of their arms that are extremely sharp and can be launched. these needles can be coated in a venom that can either sting like a bee's sting or kill a dragon depending on how much venom is put onto the spikes and how many spikes penetrate into the skin of a dragon. these sharp needles are replace within about a couple hours to a day depending on the individual and their health.
=== Sap-blast: ===
Pinewings don't have a fire-breath weapon instead they produce a sap-like substance that is both extremely sticky and once it cools and hardens becomes as hard as a rock. this substance often has stored chunks of pinecones in it from the pinecones that they eat but if an individual who hasn't eaten enough pinecones the chunks will be absent. the hardened sap can only be removed by burning it which can be painful for individuals hit with it and often individuals will have the sap stuck to them their entire life if it doesn't glue parts together. hybrids with fire-breathing tribes often have a much hotter sap-blast than normal.
=== Photosynthesis: ===
as they are related to Leafwings, Pinewings can photosynthesize using the sun.
=== Scent: ===
Pinewings carry the aroma of pine trees with them everywhere they go.
== Culture: ==
Pinewings live in large pine forests and build their villages in the trees. they don't use pine wood in construction and only cut down non-pine trees for wood. they believe pine trees bring good luck and if one cuts a pine tree down it will bring death and destruction upon the individual unless they replace the tree one hundred times. breaking off pine branches is believed to bring more minor bad luck upon the individual but it is still looked down upon. Dragonets of Pinewing families are encouraged to plant Pine saplings as a way to grow the village slowly just as the dragonet will with their life. Pinewings don't care for other tribes but are friendly towards dragons who except their ways. they don't often use fire but instead use natural sources of light such as bioluminescent fungi and fireflies put in containers made of thin leaves. 
Pinewings believe that the first Pinewing grew from a pine tree and created the entire tribe and this is one of the reasons the tribe is spiritually connected to the trees and believe that breaking them purposefully brings bad luck.
=== Burial: ===
When a Pinewing dies the tribe will bury them with a pine sapling over their grave and will carve gravestones and place them over the dead body.
== Festivities: ==
Pinewings have a variety of different holidays they celebrate and they often paint their bodies made from berries and water. for night festivities Pinewings often incorporate mashed bioluminescent mushrooms they grow around the village to make the paint glow.
=== Holidays: ===
==== The days of pine: ====
during the fall over the course of three days Pinewings celebrate the days of pine. the three days have different name and activities on them.
===== Evergreen day: =====
the third and final day of pine is Evergreen day. this day is spent with family and shops are closed to allow shop-owners to be home with their families. Families will teach their dragonets the traditions of the tribe and the importance of pine trees.
==== Nest day: ====
during the spring Pinewings celebrate Nest day which they make nests of various different sizes from the size of a dragon's foot to big enough for a fully-grown dragon to lay down inside of. the nests will often incorporate fallen pine branches that they find on the ground.
==== days of giving: ====
During the winter Pinewings celebrate a holiday nearly identical to Christmas and decorate their bodies with ornaments and other items normally put on Christmas trees. they also will make or buy gifts for those who are close to them. this holiday is meant to celebrate generosity and joy, and is often the most widely celebrated holidays.
