Seawings

Description: SeaWings commonly range from a scale color of blues, greens, aquamarine, cyan, teal, (rarely) yellow-green, indigo, blue-gray, blue-green, and blue-black. In the sunlight, SeaWing scales look like glossy emeralds and sapphires. SeaWings usually have green or blue eyes, with some exceptions, like having gray-green eyes. SeaWings have webbed talons with hooked claws, as well as long, thick, powerful tails, which makes them excellent swimmers and can even be used for self-defense. It is also said that they can make powerful waves with one splash of their tails. SeaWings have gills on the side of their necks that allow them to breathe underwater. SeaWings are considered small in height and have long, compact bodies with short legs. They have curved horns, a slender and curved snout, and two short tendrils coming from the bottom of their chin, which could help with blending into their environment or could just be a decoration. They have webbed spines along their chest and the backs of their necks to the tips of their tail. Like all dragons, they have five claws on their front talons and four on their back talons.

The bioluminescent stripes on a SeaWing's body are used to communicate underwater using a language called Aquatic. Members of the royal family, such as Queen Coral, are hatched with and have glowing spiral markings as well as starbursts on the underside of their wings. Non-royal SeaWings do not have spiral patterns on their wings, and their starburst patterns are smaller. Most SeaWings are shown to have glowing stripes on the wing arms and a starburst on each knee on the cover of The Lost Heir. They can control when the stripes on their bodies glow and can light up each one individually. They can be born with birthmark glow patterns as well as the traditional patterns, such as long, spiraling patterns under their eyes.

SeaWing eggs are green or blue and are kept underwater in hatcheries.

The tribe's appearance is changed somewhat in the graphic novel series. The crest on a SeaWing's head is shown as being ribbed with three prongs, and each dragon has a unique glow stripe pattern.

Abilities: SeaWings have the ability to breathe underwater because of their gills, which no other dragon tribe can do, have excellent night vision (if it is pitch black, however, they only see black and white), light up their glow-stripes to blind an enemy momentarily (or to converse in Aquatic), and they are excellent swimmers. They also have long, thick, powerful tails, which can be used as dangerous weapons, creating huge waves, and for swimming faster. No dragon tribe can surpass their speed through the water. They often use currents to increase their speed when traveling underwater (by angling their wings), and having webbed talons helps them swim. To attract mates at an older age, they can light up a special pattern on their bioluminescent scales. However, they have also been used as signals above the water and to communicate in an underwater language called Aquatic. Unlike all the other Pyrrhian tribes, they cannot produce any form of attack from the mouth (such as fire, frost breath, or venom).

SeaWings can be driven mentally insane by dehydration. It is a cruel and savage method that causes the subject to lose all sense and do anything to get water even if it means drinking their own or another dragon's blood. 

SeaWings are one of four known tribes to have animus dragons, the others being the NightWings, IceWings, and SandWings. As for SeaWings, the animus gift has only ever been seen in the royal family, with some known animus dragons being Orca, Anemone, Turtle, Fathom, and Albatross.

Names: SeaWings are named after sea-related items or wildlife like Nautilus, Anemone, Orca, Shark, Snail, Octopus, and Turtle. They also have names related to shades of blue colors, like Indigo and Cerulean, similar to SkyWings having names related to shades of orange or red. Some may have names of gems that have SeaWing colors, like Sapphire, and some may be forms of water such as Lagoon. Other names may be ways to measure the sea like Fathom. They can also have names relating to SeaWing anatomies, like Fin or Gill, or have their names be ocean events, such as Tsunami, Riptide, Whirlpool, Current, and Typhoon.
