| '''Aquatic''' is the secret language used by [[SeaWings]] to communicate in the [[Deep Palace of the Sea|Deep Palace]] (or anywhere underwater) where they can't communicate clearly without going to the surface to talk. Instead of spoken words, Aquatic uses a series of talon gestures and the flashing of the bioluminescent stripes along the [[Dragons|dragon]]'s body. Because only SeaWings possess these stripes, Aquatic is not spoken by dragons from any other tribe because they cannot physically speak it due to lack of bioluminescent stripes. [[Princess Tsunami|Tsunami]] is a rare case of a SeaWing who does not understand Aquatic very well at all, courtesy of being raised in a cave by the [[Talons of Peace]]. [[Webs]] didn't teach Tsunami Aquatic, possibly because he didn't think she would escape with the other [[The Dragonets of Destiny|dragonets]]. [[Riptide]] and [[Princess Anemone|Anemone]] taught her some Aquatic when she came to the [[Kingdom of the Sea|Sea Kingdom]]. Riptide taught her how to say "squid-brain", and he said that she should say it next time she saw [[Whirlpool]].

| In Talons of Power, a story was also mentioned of a dragonet who had been raised by orcas and didn't know Aquatic.
