Mimicwings

## History:

Since a Holder is cursed to be neither a shadow nor a dragon. Any offspring of a Holder or Holder hybrid will result in a Mimicwings. This is not a full tribe because they are rare due to Holders not really having any dragonets since they are cursed.

## Young:

In a brood, roughly 3 to 4 at a time, twins and triplets are very common.

### Example:

Holder + Holder = Mimicwing

Holder + Any other tribe = Mimicwing

## Description:

They have no wings or spikes besides two spikes at the end of their tail. They have unique swirls all over their body. All Mimicwings have a marking like a mask on there face. They almost always take after their mother's color scheme. However, it can be a lighter or darker version it.

### Example:

If the mother has a purple and green color scheme, her Mimicwings dragonets will have the same color scheme.

## Eye Color:

Is any color, and doesn't take after any of the parent's side.

## Dragonets:

Tends to be a smaller version of the adult.

## Hybrids:

There are no hybrids of this tribe because a Mimicwing will always mimic their mother's appearance.

### Example:

Mimicwing + Mimicwing = Mimicwing

Male Mimicwing + Female from a different tribe = the dragon will look like its mother's tribe and color scheme with his/her father's abilities

Female Mimicwing + Male from a different tribe = Mimicwing with his/her father's abilities

## Sizes:

Ranges in sizes because will take after their Father's tribe size trait.

## Abilities:

Can't fly. They take after their father's ability, (note if the father is a Holder then the Gift of Power is not inherit). Mimicwings, may have no wings but they can mimic other tribe's wings for the show, not for use.

### Example:

If a Mimicwing has a seawing father, the Mimicwing can live underwater, despite not having gills.

## Ages:

Depending on the Mother's tribe. So it ranges from 8 (or 50) to 300 (or 3,000) or even forever if the mother is a Shadowwing

### Dragonets:

1-7 (Mother's who are Powerwings are from 1-50)

## Ability Stage:

This happens around the ages 3 and 9 where their dragonet starts showing signs of their Father's inherent abilities. This is also the stage when Mimicwings can start mimicking other tribes' wings.

## Tribe Information:

There is no information because Mimicwings are the offspring of Holders, who are not a tribe, but a group of random tribes cursed between Shadow and Dragon forms.

## Royalty:

They follow their parent's tribe's rulers.

## Names:

Can be named after anything, but are generally given names that grand or unique (Examples: Regal, Grand, Elite, Era, Royal, Princely, Noble,)

## Lore:

One of the few clues of determining if a Mimicwing is true Mimicwing (Parents are not Holders or have a mother of pure blood decent) is that they have retractable teeth. Only Holder-born Mimicwings or mix-breed mother has teeth. Another clue is their ability to not only mimic the wings of other tribes but also the abilities. It determined that Mimicwings of today are not true Mimicwings because they have teeth and lost the ability to mimic other tribes' abilities.

However, Shadowwings and Deathwings (Tribe own by Hyena) believed that Holder-born Mimicwings have been proven stronger and more powerful because of their Ability Stage being more unstable than their ancestors. It has been recorded only twice that one the twins (Elite (Dragonrider) and Regal) and Empire, that when they hatch that it took a great deal of effort to contain the power that was a hatch with them.

This power is thought to come from the Mythwings because it was their DNA to fill in the blanks of Era's DNA that was taken from his scales. Another theory believes that the fact that one of their parents are a Holder is what cause great amounts of power upon hatching. It is unclear of which theory is correct.

Besides these four Mimicwings: Fantasy, Legend, Fable, and Mystery. All other Mimicwings are known as Shadow Mimics because of there existion through the Holders.

Lore: This ability to mimic tribes wings gave them the ability to mimic the other tribes powers. However, this power died off once the Mimicwing were declared extinct, but unknown to everyone the Shadowwings manged to save one dragonet that they name Era.

In the efforts to save the tribe, the Shadowwings went to the Deathwings for a favor, but this favor came at a cost. In order to save the tribe, a scale must taken from a dragon that recently died of natural causes. This favor did not come cheap. If the Shadowwings truly wanted to bring back the Mimicwings, two things must happen: (1) They must give up their spirits (2) And when they die, they would become a shadow.

The Shadowwings took the deal, knowing that even if they don't die from old age, they will die from a fatal wound. The Shadowwings raise Era as their own but sadly he only lived to his 20th hatching day before sickness took him. The Shadowwings removed five scales from Era and gave them to the Deathwings.

Remember that Holders are dragons from any tribe that has asked the Book of Power for the Gift of Power for one reason or another. The Gift of Power is the most unstable of the Gifts being that it can control all the other Gifts in one dragon. This causes the dragon to be trapped in limbo of neither shadow or dragon. So far, only the Holders in the Gift Department is the cursed slightly lifted being that the Author used his powers to lighted the cursed that was upon his sister.

However, bringing back the dead was no easy task because it would take roughly 10,000 years after the scorching for the Mimicwings to come back. The reason for this might because that Holders needed to exist before the tribe could be back from the dead. This might because the Holders are still in limbo and was able to bring back the species from extinction.

Holders are know recognized as the parents of the Mimicwings and seen as the only way to bring back the lost tribe.
