== Description ==
[[File:Color-swatches_Fundations.jpg|thumb|340px|General MudWing Colors]] MudWings have thick, armor-like scales. They are usually earthy colors, such as browns, greens, ambers, and oranges. They are most known for their flat snouts and brute strength. They may have gold or amber underscales, visible in sunlight. Their nostrils are located on the top of the snouts, allowing them to lay submerged in mud for long periods. They have thick, curved horns and broad, flat heads. Their eyes have been described as brown, gold, and amber, sometimes with brownish-yellow rings around the pupils, similar to central heterochromia. Their bodies are muscular and robust, closely resembling alligators, crocodiles, and other prehistoric reptiles. Most MudWings are shown to not be that smart although there are some exceptions.

MudWings have thick, armored scales.<ref>[[Dragon guides]]</ref> They are usually earthy colors, such as shades of brown,{{Ref|TBN|245}} and amber.{{Ref|THK|52}} They are most known for their flat snouts, brute strength, and large size. They may also have gold or amber underscales, usually more visible in sunlight.{{Ref|TDP|98}} Their nostrils are located on the top of the snouts, allowing them to lay submerged in mud for long periods of time, usually around one hour.

MudWings may also have odd markings, such as dappled wing scales {{ref|TDP|281}}.
== Diet ==
MudWings love food and are willing to eat nearly anything,{{Ref|AGttDW|9}} including both fruit and meat. In the marshes, they eat crocodiles and other swamp-dwelling creatures. MudWings will raise and breed livestock such as cows.{{Ref|TDP|283}} Their diet is noted to also consist of water birds, hippos, water buffalo, cows, and elephants.{{Ref|AGttDW|9}}


==Abilities==
MudWings also prepare dishes such as frozen cream with melon.{{Ref|AGttDW|147}}
If they are warm enough, MudWings can breathe fire, though not quite as powerful as SandWings, [[NightWings]], and especially SkyWings. Thanks to their muscular bodies, MudWings are quite strong. Due to this they very well could be the largest tribe in Pyrrhia, but this is not confirmed. They are most comfortable in muddy or swampy areas and can blend into marshy areas quite well. It is also common for MudWings to be resting submerged in mud, as this seems like an activity they enjoy. Mud is often used to treat and ease the pain of wounds and heal this type of dragon to an extent. In addition to these, they can hold their breath for up to an hour.


MudWings that hatch from blood-red eggs, laid every few years or so, are described to be resistant to heat and fire. Their fireproof scales are only activated once they come in contact with a large amount of mud. However, if a MudWing that hatches from a blood-red egg does not come in contact with mud, it will still heal faster than most other dragons and are mostly impervious to fire, as seen with [[Clay]]. It is currently unknown if there are causes for [[Dragons|eggs]] to be blood-red, or if it is just random chance, although it is said that NightWings may have learned the patterns and statistics for when blood-eggs occur. Though fire will still hurt them, any injuries caused by fire will instantly heal over. In ''[[The Dragonet Prophecy (Book)|The Dragonet Prophecy]]'', Clay demonstrates this when he fights [[Peril]], a SkyWing with firescales, who can turn a dragon to ash just by touching them, without dying. This fire immunity works faster once the MudWing has been exposed to mud, as dragons draw strength from their natural habitats. Clay was once shown burning his claws in hot coals in ''[[The Hidden Kingdom (Book)|The Hidden Kingdom]],'' though he healed quickly. If a burn is too deep or large, however, it will not heal, as demonstrated in ''The Brightest Night'' when Peril plunges her claws into Clay to burn out [[Dragonbite Viper|dragonbite viper]] poison, but it heals only partially, leaving him with a scar from the bite and a permanent limp. It also heals only on the surface scales, not internal organs. Lava has also been mentioned to be another factor. In'' [[The Dark Secret (Book)|The Dark Secret]],'' [[Starflight]] mentions that fireproof MudWings can only survive for a few minutes in lava, although this was never officially proven. MudWings can also hold their breath for up to an hour or so, which makes it helpful to escape, as seen in'' [https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/Category:First_Arc The Dark Secret] ''and briefly in ''The Dragonet Prophecy''.

MudWings lay their eggs in bunkhouses that are well protected with warm rocks and covered in mud walls, in a way similar to the real-world crocodiles. This environment is so protected that the mother only has to check on them once in a while, and she is often not there during the hatching. The first dragonet to hatch out is often the largest and is known as the [[MudWings#Society|bigwings]]. The bigwings have the instinct to help their siblings by breaking open their eggs to help them hatch, and eventually becomes the leader of the siblings, leading them into battle and taking care of their sibs. After the mother covers the eggs, she will never check on them again, or even need to, as it is quite rare for MudWing parents to care about their dragonets and the eggs are very safe even if they did. As a result, the bigwings of the group usually becomes the caretaker and parental figure.

MudWings live and work in loyal units with their siblings. They grow up together, learning to hunt and survive and form very close bonds. These groups are often called "sibs" by MudWings, but the term is seldom known or used in any of the other tribes (except for at Jade Mountain). During wars, the army of MudWings is made up of troops that are formed by these sibling groups, which allows them to fight very effectively as one unit. If enough siblings are lost in battle, the other members of the troop will look for other dragons to form a new group with and are called unsibs. Unsibs are MudWings who have lost most or all their blood siblings. Sometimes, unsibs will make a group and stay together like real siblings, who stick with each other through just about anything. Some MudWings will not accept unsibs in their troops, preferring only their true siblings.
Pairings are not formal, with a breeding night once a month.{{Ref|TDP|285}} Neither parent takes part in raising their children, and often the two partners will not know one another or their children in any way.{{Ref|TDP|285}} MudWings lay their eggs in well-protected bunkhouses with mud walls and warm rocks for incubation. Eggs are left mostly alone, and oftentimes no adults are present during hatchings. The first MudWing dragonet to hatch is often the largest and is known as a bigwings. They will help their siblings hatch out of their eggs.{{Ref|TDP|291}}


Pairings are not formal, with a breeding night once a month. Parents do not raise their children and do not know the names of their offspring. Males have no part in caring for their offspring, and neither do the mothers. Often nobody would even know who the father was. A family is comprised of only the siblings.
MudWings, unlike other tribes, live in troops of siblings, with the bigwings as the caretaker and leader. These sib groups love and trust one another a great deal and work well as units of soldiers. They also protect one another and feel the loss of a sibling deeply.{{Ref|TDSp}} When a sibling is killed or lost, a sib group may take in another dragon who has been orphaned from their own group, known as "unsibs." Several unsibs may also gather to form their own troop.{{Ref|TDP|292}}


Less wealthy and lowborn MudWings usually live on the outskirts of MudWing territory, near the Diamond Spray Delta (known as the place where the lowest-born MudWings dwell, according to Kestrel), while the rest live closer to the center of the kingdom.
Besides the bigwings, MudWing troops also have other roles that the siblings fill. This includes a healer who studies the medicinal properties of mud and various leaves, a treasurer who keeps track of the siblings' treasure and provisions, a gatherer who finds additional food besides the prey that is hunted as a group, and a communicator who negotiates with other troops.{{Ref|AGttDW|13}} These roles are assigned by natural skills and personal preference. The bigwings can sometimes be in charge of one of these roles if they have the skills for one of the roles.{{Ref|AGttDW|14}}


Since MudWings are so loyal to their siblings, no queen has ever been challenged by any of her sisters. This might also be because [[File:Mudwings-homes.png|thumb|MudWing dwellings, as shown in the graphic novel]]the bigwings is the strongest (queens are usually the bigwings of a group), and the others know that they couldn't defeat her in a challenge. MudWings are also often very loyal to their tribe, considering the queen is the bigwings of the whole tribe.
MudWings have been stereotyped throughout history as dumb by most dragons.{{Ref|WT|209}}{{Ref|W4q|132}} However, according to [[Bullfrog (TDG)|Bullfrog]], the events of the [[Scorching]] are in every MudWing history book.{{Ref|TFoH|104}}


MudWings live in large mud-and-plant-made sleep houses that house several dragons (usually siblings). MudWings tend to lay around and nap in large mud puddles and seem to not care how other tribes think of them, as their habitat expresses more of comfort than the need for decoration. MudWings, unlike NightWings, are not particularly known for their intelligence, shown when [[Scarlet]] stated that it was unusual to see a MudWing using his head. However, this is just a stereotype, since MudWings like [[Mayfly]] are successful in intellectual careers.

MudWings, also known as swamp dragons or mud dragons to humans, are a Pyrrhian dragon tribe that reside in the Mud Kingdom. They are currently ruled by Queen Moorhen.

The MudWings were allied with Burn and the SkyWings in the War of SandWing Succession and fought against Blister and Blaze. They were allied with Blister and the SeaWings in the beginning of the War of SandWing Succession, until the assassination of Commander Tempest.[1] Burn forced the MudWings into an alliance by using threats and offered one hundred years of peace between their tribes and protection for the MudWings if she became queen of the SandWings.[2]

Description

MudWings have thick, armored scales.[3] They are usually earthy colors, such as shades of brown,[4] and amber.[5] They are most known for their flat snouts, brute strength, and large size. They may also have gold or amber underscales, usually more visible in sunlight.[6] Their nostrils are located on the top of the snouts, allowing them to lay submerged in mud for long periods of time, usually around one hour. They have thick, curved horns and broad, flat heads. Their eyes have been described as brown,[7] gold,[8] shades of amber,[9] and hazel,[10] sometimes with yellow rings around the pupils.[11] Their bodies are muscular and robust, being based on crocodiles.[event 1] MudWings may also have markings such as dappled scales.[12]

Diet

MudWings love food and are willing to eat nearly anything,[10] including both fruit and meat. In the marshes, they eat crocodiles and other swamp-dwelling creatures. MudWings will raise and breed livestock such as cows.[13] Their diet is noted to also consist of water birds, hippos, water buffalo, cows, and elephants.[10]

MudWings also prepare dishes such as frozen cream with melon.[14]

Abilities

MudWings can hold their breath for up to an hour, and if a dragon is warm enough, they can breathe fire.[15] Because of their muscular bodies, MudWings are quite strong. They are capable of camouflaging into mud and dirt and may rest while partially submerged.[16] MudWings can use mud to ease pain and help treat wounds.[17][18]

MudWings that hatch from blood-red eggs are immune to fire. This power only fully activates after exposure to mud;[18] however, it is able to activate while the dragonet is still inside the egg.[19] Though fire will still hurt them, any injuries caused by fire will rapidly heal.[18] If a burn is too deep or large, however, it cannot heal all the way; this ability will not heal deep flesh wounds or internal wounds and is mostly limited to a dragon's scales.[20] Fireproof MudWings may be able to survive in lava for short periods.[21] When burned, a fire-immune MudWing's scales will temporarily fade to black before returning to the dragon's normal scale color.[22] In ancient MudWing times, the queen would order for blood-red eggs to be destroyed before they hatched.[23] This changed when Moccasin's dragonet was discovered to be fireproof.[24]

There has never been a known animus dragon in the MudWing tribe.

Society

Less wealthy and lowborn MudWings usually live on the outskirts of MudWing territory, near the Diamond Spray Delta, while the rest live closer to the center of the kingdom.[25] MudWings hatch close to villages, where they learn and pick up the dragon language by going to schools. After hatching, MudWing sibling groups will often follow older groups to pick up the ways of MudWing life. Royal MudWings hatched in the palace are named shortly after hatching, quickly educated, and trained.[26]

MudWing dwellings from The Dragonet Prophecy (graphic novel), by Mike Holmes

MudWings live in large mud bunkhouses, with a big opening at the top, that house several dragons, usually siblings.[27] They also tend to lie around and nap in large mud puddles.[16] MudWings also have not been ambitious compared to other tribes. It has been a while since they had a queen who was interested in conquering others.[event 2]

Pairings are not formal, with a breeding night once a month.[28] Neither parent takes part in raising their children, and often the two partners will not know one another or their children in any way.[28] MudWings lay their eggs in well-protected bunkhouses with mud walls and warm rocks for incubation. Eggs are left mostly alone, and oftentimes no adults are present during hatchings. The first MudWing dragonet to hatch is often the largest and is known as a bigwings. They will help their siblings hatch out of their eggs.[29]

MudWings, unlike other tribes, live in troops of siblings, with the bigwings as the caretaker and leader. These sib groups love and trust one another a great deal and work well as units of soldiers. They also protect one another and feel the loss of a sibling deeply.[30] When a sibling is killed or lost, a sib group may take in another dragon who has been orphaned from their own group, known as "unsibs." Several unsibs may also gather to form their own troop.[31]

Besides the bigwings, MudWing troops also have other roles that the siblings fill. This includes a healer who studies the medicinal properties of mud and various leaves, a treasurer who keeps track of the siblings' treasure and provisions, a gatherer who finds additional food besides the prey that is hunted as a group, and a communicator who negotiates with other troops.[32] These roles are assigned by natural skills and personal preference. The bigwings can sometimes be in charge of one of these roles if they have the skills for one of the roles.[33]

MudWings have been stereotyped throughout history as dumb by most dragons.[34][35] However, according to Bullfrog, the events of the Scorching are in every MudWing history book.[36]

Names

MudWing names generally relate to the earth, swamps, and the flora and fauna that reside there such as Reed, Crane, Pheasant, Sora, Moorhen, and Cattail, or shades of brown, such as Umber, Sepia, and Ochre. Sometimes they can also be named after types of diamonds or minerals, such as Asha. Synonyms of swamps or swampy areas are also used as names, such as Marsh, Swamp, and Bog.
