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 named in The Poison Jungle.

Description

BeetleWings hatched without wings but developed them later on, similar to SilkWings.[1]
