| '''Metamorphosis''' was introduced in the book ''[[The Lost Continent]]''. It's the process where [[SilkWings]] grow their wings, as they are born without them. [[Dragonets]] start their metamorphosis when they are 6 years old, and the process takes 5 days. When they complete their Metamorphosis, they are able to spin silk from glands on their wrists. Once a dragon has their wings, they will be assigned a partner and given another cell to live in by the [[HiveWings]].

| Dragonets know their metamorphosis is starting soon when their silk glands start to itch, and their wingbuds (the places on their back where the wings are going to grow) start to ache. When it begins, silk will spiral out of glands on their wrists and wrap around the dragonet. Dragonets who are [[Hybrids and Special Dragons|flamesilks]] (a rare genetic mutation that allows the dragonet to make glowing fiery silk that can either burn or just cast heat if they choose it) will spin flamesilk instead of regular silk, yet they will still undergo metamorphosis with no problems. If one the parents of a SilkWing is a flamesilk, there is a 50% chance of the dragonet having flamesilk. Possible flamesilks are closely watched from the moment of birth to see if they have the rare mutation. There is mention of a flamesilk shortage in the series, but it is not confirmed.
