Deriverse

__NOEDITSECTION__
From the word derived, of a world with divisions.
A Derivative is a secondary split between tribes, often with differing physical features and characteristics. 
This is just an excuse for me to draw more while giving myself a project.
Open universe, feel free to add your own characters if you wish, just lmk if you do because I want to see them!

|-|Tribes=
===MudWings===
Current Ruling Family: Hybrid
Current Queen: Caiman
Caiman is the eldest of the current reigning queens, having held on to her crown through lack of challenge and lack of opposition, her sibilngs all dead, and only a single daughter, newly hatched at 2 DY.
====Salvus MudWings====
Larger and with darker brown scales, Salvus MudWings spend most of their time working with heat and earth, resulting in more durable scales and easier fire, though this comes at a cost to their maneuverability.
====Terraen MudWings====
===SeaWings===
Current Ruling Family: Imum
Current Queen: Dragonfish
====Korallium SeaWings====
Ranging in color anywhere from a pale pink to deep blue, Coral SeaWings live in coastal, shallow areas, their smaller build and bone structure unable to withstand the pressures of the crushing depths. This Derivative makes up for it by being quick to strike
====Imum SeaWings====
===SkyWings===
Current Ruling Family: Spiritus
Current Queen: Amaranth
====Spiritus SkyWings====
====Eurus SkyWings====
===SandWings===
Current Ruling Family: Calor
Current Queen: Coati
====Calor SandWings====
Calor SandWings are typically referred to as the Sun-Derived within
====Solus SandWings====
===IceWings===
Current Ruling Family: Mirare
Current Queen: Candidus
====Mirare IceWings====
Sharp and reflective are the defining traits of a Mirror IceWing's scales, almost blinding to look at under bright sunlight. Despite being incredibly visible, the members of this derivation have figured out how to utilize it best for their benefit through combat to blind their opponents, and in hunting by creating false images of themselves off the snow and ice. Mirror-Derived also tend to have longer claws and spines, being generally larger than Glaze IceWings. 
====Hyalus IceWings====
Compared to the brightness of Mirror IceWings, Glaze-Derived tend to go unnoticed, blending in perfectly with the icy tundra they live in, being a mix of scales and fur. Glaze IceWings are smaller and more agile, able to last weeks on a single meal. 
===RainWings===
Current Ruling Family: Acarpicus
Current Queen: Jacaranda
====Cryptogams RainWings====
====Acarpicus RainWings====
===NightWings===
Current Ruling Family: Stellus
Current Queen: Heartseer
====Stellus NightWings====
While primarily black, Star-Derived have brightly gleaming scales dotted all over their body, while possessing the strongest thoughtspeak and futuresight abilities within the tribe. Being a minority within the tribe means that there are very few pure Star NightWings, the most notable line being the royal family up until their destruction at the explosion of the volcano.
====Quietus NightWings====
Pure black, Quietus NightWings have weaker thoughtspeak and futuresight abilities compared to their Star counterparts, but they tend to be larger in size, as well as possessing the ability to hide in darker corners easier due to their coloring. The bites of this Derivative also tend to have corrosive side-properties, leading to a fondness for slow hunting. All the known animus dragons the NightWings have ever had are partially Quietus-Derived, descending from Darkstalker's line.
===SilkWings===
Current Ruling Family: Rhopalocera
Current Queen: Malachite
====Rhopalocera SilkWings====
====Heterocera SilkWings====
===LeafWings===
Current Ruling Family: Deuro
Current Queen: Sassafras
====Floreo Leafwings====
====Deuro Leafwings====
===HiveWings===
Current Ruling Family: Hemiptera
Current Queen: Aphid
====Hymenoptera HiveWings====
====Hemiptera HiveWings====
===BeetleWings===
Names are temporary placeholders
====Lepidoptera BeetleWings====
Later split into SilkWings
====Hymenoptera BeetleWings====
Later split into HiveWings
