BeetleWings

**BeetleWings**, along with the LeafWings, were the first settlers of Pantala. They were eventually bred into extinction after the arrival of Clearsight, splitting them into the HiveWings and SilkWings around 4,500 AS. They were first introduced unnamed in The Lost Continent and were formally mentioned in The Poison Jungle.

There are only five named BeetleWing individuals, with four of them being the BeetleWing-NightWing hybrids. All of them were named after various butterfly species. It is presumed they can be named after other insects, (specifically beetles) too.
