=Description=
==Appearance==
===Fur and Coloration===
GroveWings' fur is typically black, brown, gray, green, ginger, or other natural colors depending on their habitat (i.e. dragons from the marshes may have more greens, whereas those from the ocean cliffs have more grays). Patterns, such as stripes, spots, swirls, and splotches, are all common within the tribe.
The coat is shed every six months to accommodate the season; during the rainy season, it is dense and slick to protect dragons from the wet and cold, however, as the weather becomes warmer and drier, it is exchanged for thinner, fluffier hairs. It usually never grows long enough for the dragon to style due to this cycle.
It is common for moss and fungi to grow in GroveWings' coats. This is not harmful to the dragons at all nor is it frowned upon. Rather, it is seen as embracing the natural habitat and helps them camouflage better in their surroundings.

=History=
==Scorching==
*not much known
*perhaps shares ancestors with mudwings and seawings
*don't need to say much here
*runestones carved, small magics discovered, great mangrove planted
==Clearsight's Era==
*they learn the common dragon language
*uhhh yeah
==Tree Wars==
*THIS IS WHERE IT GETS GOOD GUYS
*queen wasp wants to destroy all the trees in pyrrhia, but the trees are sacred to the grovewings and they don't want to lose their home
*chief delta bargains with wasp, saying she will give up anything she has as long as her tribe and home remain unharmed
*so wasp takes delta prisoner, mind-controlling her 24/7 and no one hears from her for decades
*hivewing army ends up destroying most of the trees anyway
*but the great mangrove remains unscathed
*many grovewings fall ill or die from disease; they are not immune to some of the sicknesses hivewings carry as they historically had little to no contact
*also some grovewings disappear from time to time, supposedly taken by the othermind
*delta's daughter, essence, becomes chief
*despite most of the trees being gone and many dragons dying, due to grovewings' thick fur, seeds from the trees got caught in their fur and eventually came into contact with soil again
*so... deforestation? more like reforestation!!
==Post-Wasp Era==
*finally making contact with other kingdoms
*uhhh yeah
*they are TERRIFIED of the humans btw

==Food==
*animal carcasses
**they use their toxic bite to kill animals
**the animal is not consumed till at least three days after death so its soul can expel from its body and reconnect with nature
**common prey: large birds, rabbits, fish
**no part of the animal goes to waste; bones typically turned into tools or jewelry
*wild berries, herbs, and mushrooms
**typically cooked into stews
**also believed to have healing properties
**can be eaten/used any time, as plants and fungi are not believed to have souls
*tree bark
**usually used for plates/utensils, but is edible. nothing should go to waste
