Clay (Wings of Fire)

Clay is an adult male MudWing, Dragonet of Destiny, and the main protagonist in The Dragonet Prophecy (which is the first book of the Wings of Fire series). Clay has fire-resistant scales, which he first discovered when he pushed Perildown a tunnel as he tried to hide her from Queen Scarlet in The Dragonet Prophecy. He received this rare MudWing ability, as he hatched from "an egg of the color of dragon blood" as stated in the Dragonet Prophecy (although this resistance is only fully developed once the dragon is first exposed to mud.) Fire and immense heat still cause him pain, although the burns heal quickly, so it usually never causes permanent damage. Except for his permanent limp on his left hind leg from where Peril had to burn out the venom of a Dragonbite Viper in order to save his life. Clay is quite loyal to his friends, usually seeing them as his siblings, and is also very protective of them. He also always seems to be hungry or thinking about food, and tends to dream about large feasts that typically involve hippos or other large prey such as cows. He would be the bigwings of his siblings, although his younger brother, Reed, is the siblings' bigwings and took charge of this responsibility while Clay was sold as an egg to the Talons of Peace in trade for a couple cows to complete the prophecy. At the beginning of The Dragonet Prophecy, Clay was the first to hatch out of all his friends, and he "attacked" the other eggs. The Talons of Peace thought Clay was a little monster, but he only seemed to attack the other eggs because of his bigwings instincts. It actually turned out that Clay is a very kind-hearted soul and would never hurt the others intentionally. He tends to be optimistic about difficult situations and is very empathetic. Otherwise, Clay is one of the most famous MudWings in Pyrrhia, and other dragons think of him as a very trustworthy dragon. He and Peril may be in a relationship, as Peril has a crush on him, and Clay always treats Peril kinder than anybody else does.
