The MudWings

**The MudWings**

**"We will be here when all else crumbles."**

**Appearances**

MudWings are large, strong dragons with thick scales that can range from shades of dark brown to doe brown to maroon. Their snouts are broad and their horns are short. Eye colors range from amber to brown to golden. According to the graphic novel adaptation of *The Dragonet Prophecy,* some MudWings can have green scales, however this is fairly uncommon.

**Abilities**

When warm enough, MudWings are able to breathe fire. They are also able to hold their breath for about an hour, which allows them to stay covered in mud for awhile and for our tribe to have associations with the SeaWings, good or bad. Mud is shown to treat and heal wounds. In rare cases, a red MudWing egg is laid, which often means that the dragonet has scales that are mostly resistant to fire.

**Personalities**

Unlike other tribes, MudWings are not raised by parents, and are instead raised by the "bigwings" of their siblings. It is not common for MudWing parents to care for their children. There are rarely any MudWing pairings as a breeding night is once a month. MudWing siblings are extremely close to each other and won't abandon each other most of the time, almost always willing to die for their siblings.

The MudWing queen is the sole most politically powerful MudWing on the continent. Typically, she is not an animus, and especially not a hybrid as she must be loyal to one tribe only and be a pure representative of her tribe. Queens, when newly coronated, will often seek out a dragon to marry and make into the King of the tribe (see right for info), though this is optional if the Queen had biological dragonets prior to crowning. The rank of 'Queen' can only be obtained by biological princesses, through a challenge (battle to the death) with the queen. The queen may decline their challenge, but it is a matter of great honor. The longer a queen reigns, the more difficult it will be to challenge her. The queen is to be addressed as 'Your Majesty' by any rank lower than a Prince. **Queen Woodpecker *is* accepting challenges.** | **【0/1】**

The Crown Princess is the 'alpha princess' of sorts. She is the queen's chosen heir, and will take the queen's place if she were to die by other means than a challenge (ex. murder, old age, killed in combat) to prevent any future wars of succession. She often bullies and bosses around the tribe's other princesses, as she is considered superior. The Crown Princess is to be addressed as 'Your Grace' when speaking to her personally by any rank lower than a Prince. | **【1/10】**

The royal guards are the fierce, noble dragons who are tasked with protecting the palace and the royal family. They are a few steps above the average soldier, and typically are tasked with ordering around the palace's guards. If a royal guard fails on their duty, there are various punishments depending on what happened. If a valuable object was stolen or a royal was severely injured or killed, they may be demoted, exiled, or even executed for incompetence and/or failure to properly protect their charge(s). The captain of the royal guards is to be addressed as 'Sir' or 'Ma'am' by any rank lower than a Prince. | **【0/5】**

Nobles are higher-ranking normal citizens, and are often either very wealthy or have been demoted from a higher rank such as king, general, councilor, or royal guard. They are protected by the MudWings' army, and often have little to worry about. This rank is considered of a higher, more refined class than the average commoner, but are not much different. They do, however, hold some power among the tribe, and are often considered for spouses to princes or princesses who are seeking one out, military officers, royal advisors, or other positions of prestige and honor. | **【0/6】**

The MudWing Army is the fighting force of the tribe. They are the main force on the battlefield, and are typically lead by the king or a general. During times of peace, some soldiers are sent as spies to other tribes, collecting information on conflicts and government. They also assist in arresting prisoners. Spies are marked in the rank tables with an italicized rank symbol. Spies are picked. | 【1/∞**】**

Healers are the dragons who serve the tribe not by battling our enemies with brute force and complex strategies, but by healing the sick and wounded. They are very helpful and commonly dislike violence, but, like all dragons, they can fight if they must. At least one or two healers are often present at large-scale battles and if there are several healers on duty, some may even travel with patrols. Healers have access to medicines better than mere herbs or poultices, though they often do rely on the plants that they cultivate or grow wild. The healers are overseen by a head healer (⚕⚕), who appoints teachers to healers-in-training (⚕). | 【0/5**】**

Students are the schoolchildren of the tribe. They attend academy sessions during the daytime and study at night, and are expected to be attentive, diligent workers. They will be given basic education in certain fields and then will be allowed the opportunity to pursue their own paths in either the Army or a civilian career. Students are sorted into classes of five dragons and assigned to one instructor. To become a student, you must be a MudWing civilian and at least four years old. | 【0/25**】**
