HiveWings

HiveWing by Joy Ang

### Names come from

Insects, worms, larvae, beetle species, arachnids, centipedes, millipedes (etc.)

### Continent

Pantala

**HiveWings** are one of the three tribes that reside on Pantala. HiveWings were formerly the dominating tribe on Pantala, as they enslaved the SilkWings and almost exterminated the LeafWings during the Tree Wars.

HiveWings are most commonly named after insects (such a Weevil, Cochineal, Grasshopper), but they can also be named after worms (such as Earthworm), insect larvae (such as Lady Bloodworm), beetle species (such as Lady Scarab, Bombardier) and arachnids (such as Lady Vinegaroon). Although there are no canon characters named like this, it is presumed that centipedes, millipedes, etc. are also possible names.
