HeatWings (Anthurium1048576)

== Description ==
HeatWings are a tribe that is slightly like SkyWings, but they have feathers instead of scales. They have 2 big wings shaped like a swift's and are covered in flaming feathers in different colors. They can have red, orange, or yellow as a base color, and sometimes have streakes of blue or white. Usually blue and white aren't used as base colors, but in very rare cases it can be the base color. This usually only happens in the royal family, as the markings of the current royal family is slightly more blue and white on their feathers. Their tail can end in many different ways, most of the time with several longer feathers or a clump of feathers. Their horns are usually like a SkyWing's. 
=== Dragonet feathers ===
Dragonets start with fluffier feathers, and they slowly fall off to be replaced with their adult feathers. The firefeathers of a dragonet are usually slightly cooler than an adult dragon's feathers would be. Around the age of 3, the dragonet's baby feathers are replaced with adult ones that will grow hotter as they grow. Usually feathers stop getting hotter at around 50, and either stop or if you're really old, they start to cool and fall off. 
== Abilities ==
=== Fire ===
All HeatWings can breathe fire. When a twin egg hatches and one of the dragonets becomes a lavafeather, its sibling will have normal feathers but will still have the ability to breathe fire. Because HeatWing feathers are fireproof, a HeatWing without any type of heated feathers will still be fire resistant and can withstand fire for as long as they want.
=== Firefeathers ===
Most HeatWings are firefeathers, which are like firescales, but with feathers. Each feather has a pathway that connects it to the dragon's body, and the dragon's body provides each feather with the heat and energy it needs to keep burning. HeatWing feathers are fireproof, and fallen HeatWing feathers are used to make fireproof coatings around items and houses.
=== Lavafeathers ===
Like how SkyWings get firescales, HeatWings can get lavafeathers. When a HeatWing is born from a twin egg, usually one of the dragonets is a lavafeather, while the other has normal feathers. Lavafeathers are hotter than firefeathers, and live in their own part of the volcanic island. Lavafeathers are more common in the HeatWings than firescales are in the SkyWings, because the HeatWings don't kill them.
=== Sunfeathers ===
Sunfeathers only occur in the royal family, and the current sunfeather rules the tribe. Sunfeathers are the hottest of all feathers, they are so hot that sunfeathers have to wear a suncloak so it doesn't melt everything.
=== Animus Dragons ===
Animi are closely monitored in the HeatWing society, and it is very rare for a HeatWing animus to exist because there hasn't been any since the time of Glow. It isn't impossible for a HeatWing to be an animus, but the only possible way for this to happen is if the HeatWing is a hybrid. This is very rare because most HeatWings can't leave their territory because of their firefeathers.
== Territory ==
=== Sileru Island ===
This island off the northern coast of Pantala is where HeatWing firefeathers and lavafeathers live. The majority of the tribe lives here, and there is an active volcano in the middle of this island that the HeatWings believe is the mythical volcano Sileru(see religion).
=== Skywatch Plains ===
A small patch of land between the Poison Jungle and Yellowjacket Hive, this is where HeatWings with normal feathers live.
=== Suncatch Island ===
This is where the HeatWing palace is located, and is home to the royal family and the current Sunfeather.
== Government ==
The HeatWings are always ruled by a Sunfeather that gets replaced when the sunfeather's feathers start cooling and falling off. If the sunfeather is somehow killed or has died before then, the next sunfeather takes the role of leader. There is always a list of which dragon should become leader next. Sometimes, a Sunfeather pops up outside the royal family. Some HeatWings believe that this is a sign from the gods that it is time for a different group of people to rule, and that the HeatWings need a fresh start. Some believe that it is their gods that choose their next Sunfeather, so they have many priests to work on the list and to perform ceremonies to please their gods.
=== Royal Family ===
Former Sunfeathers: Ray(founder), Glow, Fiera, Shine
Sunfeather: Summer
Next Sunfeathers: Sunflower, Light 
=== Ambassadors ===
Because the HeatWings are mostly firefeathers, there aren't many of them that can actually go talk to dragons from other tribes. Their own leader has the hottest feathers, and can only stay in the HeatWing kingdom. This is why the current sunfeather always selects 1-3 ambassadors to talk to other leaders for her. The ambassadors live in the castle and are some of the most highly respected dragons in the whole kingdom.
== Religion ==
The HeatWings believe that they were born from a volcano called Sileru. They believed that this volcano was created by the sun goddess, Ailani. They believe that this volcano was the one on the volcanic island that they are currently living on. Not all HeatWings follow this religion, others believe in scientific reasoning. Since the discovery of the existence of SkyWings, many HeatWings believe that they may come from early SkyWings or some form of AviWings. 
== Naming ==
HeatWings are usually named after heat or sun related things. Recently, they have been more open about naming and can also be named after shades of red, orange, or yellow, or really anything they want. A HeatWing name could be:
-Sizzle
-Swelter
-Calefaction
-Evaporation
-Sunlight
