SeaWings

**SeaWings**, also known as **sea dragons** or **ocean dragons** to humans, are a Pyrrhian tribe of dragons that currently reside in the Kingdom of the Sea. They are currently ruled by Queen [Name], and typically speak both Aquatic and Dragon.

## Description

SeaWings are considered short in height, and have long, compact bodies with short legs. They have curved horns, a slender, curved snout, and two barbels on the underside of their jaw. In the graphic novels they also have ridges on the top of their heads. Their tongues can be forked or non-forked. They have webbed spines along the backs of their necks to the tips of their tails, as well as on their chests. SeaWings have webbed talons with hooked claws, as well as long, powerful tails. They have gills on the sides of their necks that allow them to breathe underwater.

SeaWings commonly have scale colors in the ranges of blues and greens, including indigo, green-gray, blue-gray, and blue-green. Although rare, dragons may have pink or yellow-green scales and/or webbing membranes. Black spiraling patterns, may also be present. In the sunlight, their scales may look like glossy emeralds and sapphires. SeaWings usually have eyes that are some shade of blue or green.

SeaWings have glowing stripes along their faces, bodies, and wings. Members of the royal family have glowing spiral and starburst markings on the undersides of their wings, while most non-royal SeaWings have smaller starbursts and no spiral patterns.

SeaWing eggs are green or blue, have striped or swirl-like patterns, and are kept underwater in warm hatcheries, as warmth (especially right before hatching) is important. They are heavy, particularly soon before they hatch.

## Diet

SeaWings mainly eat raw fish and other aquatic creatures such as whales, squid, octopi, turtles, and sea snails, while lower class SeaWings eat eels, though this is stated insultingly. SeaWings may also prepare soup, stew, and roasted seagull, usually for guests from other tribes.

In the ancient years, royal SeaWings prepared coconut rice, tuna rolls, macadamia treats, and a mango-lime drink. SeaWings sometimes consume sharks, though dragonets are taught to be careful of them until they are full-grown.

## Abilities

SeaWings have gills, exceptional night vision, and powerful tails. They are able to breathe and see underwater and use their tails, wings, and webbed talons to swim. Their claws are curved like fishhooks to help them swim, and their tails can be used to batter opponents or create huge waves. SeaWings often ride currents to travel the ocean faster, and they prefer to alternate swimming and flying when traveling long distances. Physical wounds, such as burns, can be healed by ocean water.

The bioluminescent stripes on a SeaWing's body are used to converse underwater, as well as to attract partners. They can control when the stripes on their bodies glow, and can light up each one individually. Different combinations of stripes indicate different words in Aquatic.

SeaWings can be driven mad if dehydrated from water. Dehydrated SeaWings appear insane and have barely any consciousness to what they do in the period.

#### Animus magic

Animus magic is present in the SeaWing royal bloodline. There are no rules on how much magic a SeaWing can use, and animus dragons are often controlled closely by the queen of the tribe.

## Society

SeaWings are regarded as intelligent and artistic. They also historically used boats. Citizen duties include kitchen work and enlistment in the army.

In modern Pyrrhia, most SeaWing citizens appear well fed, well rested, and content. The queen utilizes a Council consisted of selected Council members and members of the royal SeaWing family. The Council has frequent meetings.

## Names

SeaWings may be named after sea-related objects or wildlife. They may also have names related to shades of aquamarine colors. Some share the names of gemstones. They may also have names relating to aquatic anatomies, or naturally-occurring oceanic phenomenons.
