'''NightWings''' are a tribe of [[Dragons|dragons]] that had historically lived in the "[[The Lost City of Night|Lost City of Night]]" (a location to the south of the [[Kingdom of Sand]], the "front talon" of [[Pyrrhia]], which is shaped like a dragon.), before leaving to flee to the [[Night Kingdom|secret volcanic island]] off the northern coast of the [[Sky Kingdom]] because of [[Darkstalker]] (he scared his tribe into hiding and making sure that future NightWings don't have powers), and then finally to the [[Rainforest Kingdom]] under the rule of [[Queen Glory]] of the [[RainWings]] because of the volcanic eruption that destroyed the island.
'''NightWings''', also known as '''night dragons''' to [[humans]], are a [[Pyrrhian]] [[dragons|dragon]] tribe who currently reside in the [[Rainforest Kingdom]], alongside the [[RainWings]], within the tropical rainforest in the lower southeast of Pyrrhia. They are currently ruled by [[Queen Glory]].


Numerous NightWings didn't like the fact that they were being ordered around by RainWings, and most were ruled over by King Darkstalker, the first known full-power dragon king before Kinkajou changed him into [[Peacemaker]] using pieces of his scroll she took from Chameleon.
The NightWing tribe previously lived on the Talon Peninsula, also known as the [[lost city of night]] or the old Night Kingdom. After [[Darkstalker (L1)|Darkstalker]] murdered [[Arctic|Prince Arctic]], the NightWings feared that his ghost haunted the peninsula and fled to the [[NightWing island]] off the northern coast of the [[Sky Kingdom]] where they remained until the [[NightWing Exodus]]. They were secretly allied with [[Blister]] towards the end of the [[War of SandWing Succession]].


The queen of the NightWings before Queen Glory was [[Queen Battlewinner]], whose identity had been a secret to the world and to some NightWings (an IceWing had breathed frostbreath into her throat and the only way to remain alive was to submerge herself in lava to keep the ice in her throat from spreading). The NightWings kept this fact a secret, so as to prevent being seen as weak in front of the other tribes, as well as vulnerable with a dying queen. To hide this, they used Queen Battlewinner's daughter, [[Princess Greatness]], to issue out orders her mother gave to her.
A large portion of the tribe was briefly ruled by Darkstalker in the [[The Jade Mountain Prophecy|second arc]]. There were only fifty or so NightWings who stayed in the rainforest during this time.  


The volcanic island on which the NightWings resided is not shown on any known map of Pyrrhia because of the NightWings' secrecy and its distance from the mainland. They had [[Animus-Touched Objects|magic]] [[NightWing Portals|tunnels]] leading to the mainland created by an animus dragon named [[Stonemover]]; one into the Rainforest Kingdom, and one to the [[Kingdom of Sand]]. In addition, they were secretly allied with [[Princess Blister|Blister]], although this alliance was broken when they surrendered to the RainWings.  
Twenty-seven NightWings separated from Queen Glory and currently live in an encampment in the lost city of night known as [[Renewal]].


Most NightWings tend to be mysterious, secretive, and have egos that have been critically challenged after they surrendered to the RainWings and moved into the rainforest to be ruled by Queen Glory.

[[File:NightWing egg.jpg|thumb|A typical NightWing egg from ''[[The Dragonet Prophecy (graphic novel)]]'', by Mike Holmes]]
NightWings are based on monitor lizards.{{Ref|Event|https://www.deviantart.com/biohazardia/journal/Rochester-Book-Fest-The-Aftermath-Tui-Answers-819674249}} They have been described to have forked, pitch-black tongues, as well as dark scales which are usually black{{Ref|MR|182}} or in shades of dark green, blue,{{Ref|WT|78}} purple,{{Ref|TDP|297}} or dull gray.{{Ref|TBN|30}} They also may have purple{{Ref|TDS|43}} or dark green{{Ref|L1p}} underbellies, and dapples of silver scales running along their necks. Their wings have silver scales scattered across them like the stars of a night sky, forming different patterns. These patterns are genetic.{{Ref|TDS|48}} NightWings have been described with black,{{Ref|TDS|204}} dark blue,{{Ref|AGttDW|87}} purple,{{Ref|Event|https://www.deviantart.com/biohazardia/journal/Meeting-Tui-Questions-Answered-751819289}} or dark green eyes.{{Ref|L1p}} They have straight horns.{{Ref|TDS|16}}


NightWings and [[IceWings]] despise each other due to a previous war between these two tribes (caused by Foeslayer of the NightWings and Prince Arctic of the IceWings, the parents of Darkstalker). One example of this hatred is of Morrowseer's expedition to rescue Starflight from Ex-Queen Scarlet's Arena, choosing to kill all IceWing prisoners. ( In ''Winter Turning, ''Hailstorm, an IceWing prisoner in Queen Scarlet's was found to be alive, in Queen Scarlet's clutches after she got venom-attacked by Glory and her daughter, Princess Ruby, claimed the throne.
NightWings can melt into shadows and blend into the night sky due to their colors and wing patterns. Mind readers have silver teardrop scales by the corners of their eyes,{{Ref|L1|186}} and empaths such as [[Fatespeaker]] will also have these teardrop scales;{{Ref|TDS|43}} however, it is possible that NightWings with teardrop scales may not have this ability.{{Ref|AGttDW|92}} Seers have no physical indications of their power.


Darkstalker told [[Moonwatcher]] in ''[[Moon Rising]]'' that any NightWing hatched under one full moon could either gain the ability to read minds or to see the future, while a NightWing that hatched under two full moons will be granted both. He also said that it was once believed that if an egg hatches under three full moons, the [[dragonets|dragonet]] would be [[animus]], but animus powers were proven to be genetic (confirmed by [[Winter]]), and not moon-given. Instead, Darkstalker says that the dragonet would still have both powers, but they would be stronger. Moonwatcher believed that since the NightWing eggs hatched in dark caves on the volcanic island, hidden from the moons, they no longer had powers, which Darkstalker had confirmed.
== Diet ==
[[File:Morrowseer eating GN.png|thumb|[[Morrowseer]] eating the carrion of a giant albatross on the [[NightWing island]] from ''The Dark Secret (graphic novel)'', by Mike Holmes]]On the volcanic island, NightWings ate mostly carrion. They would bite their prey, poisoning it with bacteria from inside their mouths, and leave it to decease. After it was dead, they would return to eat it.{{Ref|TDS|32–33}} On the island, seafaring birds could be found. They would also hunt in the rainforest, for prey such as sloths, and may have gathered some fruit. While living on this island, most NightWings ate once per week, which contributed to their malnutrition.{{Ref|TDS|29}}


This was the case for Starflight, who would've gained great powers if he had been hatched under the full three moons of the brightest night instead of inside the cave.
After relocating to the rainforest, NightWings began to incorporate fruits and vegetables into their diet, though they continue to eat meat,{{Ref|WT|44}} with the exception of sloths.


The NightWing eggs were thought to be hidden from the moons because of Darkstalker, which was mentioned by Moonwatcher in Moon Rising.
In the time of ''[[Darkstalker (Legends)|Darkstalker]]'', hunting was very similar to other tribes. They ate hawks,{{Ref|L1|51}} fish,{{Ref|L1|71}} bears,{{Ref|L1|235}} squirrels,{{Ref|L1|71}} rattlesnakes,{{Ref|L1|71}} and wolves.{{Ref|L1|233}} They cooked their food, including roasted nuts and baked bear, and had access to cheese.{{Ref|L1|235}} They would also purchase fruits from RainWing merchants.{{Ref|L1|235}}


NightWing hybrids can have powers, as shown with Darkstalker and [[Whiteout]]. Since the NightWings live in the Rainforest Kingdom now, it is possible there will be more moonborns and NightWing/RainWing hybrids.
== Abilities ==
NightWings are a nocturnal{{Ref|W2q|68}} tribe that can blend into the night sky and shadows. They can also breathe fire, and most modern NightWings have harmful bacteria in their mouths which can poison animals with a single bite.{{Ref|TDS|32}} However, it is noted that after searching through the corpses of dead NightWings, there was no venom found in their teeth.{{Ref|TDS|33}} They have a strong sense of smell{{Ref|TDS|29}} and powerful night vision.{{Ref|L1|120}}{{Ref|W2q|60}}
NightWings hatched under one full [[moons|moon]] have the power of mind-reading or prophecy, and those hatched under two have both. Dragonets hatched under three full moons will have both of these powers, which have been made stronger by the third moon. NightWings once thought that the third full moon gave [[Animus magic|animus powers]], though this was later disconfirmed, as animus powers are passed on genetically.{{Ref|MR|156}} The power of the gifts varies, such as [[Clearsight]] having strong foresight.{{Ref|Event|https://www.deviantart.com/biohazardia/journal/Meeting-Tui-Questions-Answered-751819289}} When the NightWings moved to the volcanic island, knowledge of these powers was forgotten, possibly on purpose.{{Ref|MR|157}} NightWing eggs touched by the moonlight of a full moon will turn an eerie polished silver color, while untouched eggs remain an ebony black.{{Ref|L1|11}}
[[File:Moon Reading Minds GN MR.png|thumb|Moon reading the minds of [[Jade Mountain Academy]] Students from ''[[Moon Rising (graphic novel)]]'', by Mike Holmes]]
Mind-reading NightWings can observe the thoughts of those around them. They cannot 'rummage around' in another dragon's head, but hear thoughts as the dragon thinks them, often only picking up on jumbled words, pictures, and emotions; thoughts are louder and stronger to the mind reader when they are touching the former.{{Ref|MR|218}} In the time of ''Darkstalker'', dragonets were taught ways to block out the minds of others, though this practice was lost over time without powers.{{Ref|MR|98}} Mind readers can project their thoughts to one another to have mental conversations, and powerful mind readers may be able to block the visions of prophets.{{Ref|MR|20–21}}{{Ref|MR|291}} Dragons with this power hatched under a blood moon can project their thoughts to any dragon, not just other mind readers.{{Ref|Event|https://www.deviantart.com/biohazardia/journal/Wings-of-Fire-News-at-Boskone-2020-831252663}}

[[File:Moonwatcher GN 8.png|right|thumb|upright=0.6|Moonwatcher delivering the [[The Jade Mountain Prophecy|Jade Mountain Prophecy]] from ''Moon Rising (graphic novel)'', by Mike Holmes]]
Prophetic NightWings can see flashes and visions of the future. On occasion, they will have a true prophecy, which will manifest as words rather than a vision in the dragon's head.{{Ref|MR|292}} In the time of ''Darkstalker'', prophets would sometimes take regular visions and translate them to sound like real prophecies. Very powerful prophets may be able to look into the future and follow individual timelines.{{Ref|L1|83}} Futures have been described as 'webs', as they overlap and are easily mixed up.{{Ref|L1|82}} Prophets hatched beneath a blood moon can see terrible events and natural disasters with particular clarity.{{Ref|Event|https://www.deviantart.com/biohazardia/journal/Wings-of-Fire-News-at-Boskone-2020-831252663}} When NightWings deliver prophecies, their eyes glow and their voices become low and shivery.{{Ref|EP|137}}


==Description==
Click [[:Category:Empowered NightWings|here]] for a list of all empowered NightWings.
NightWings have forked, black tongues (like SandWings) and usually have black or purplish-black scales with silver, purple, or dark blue underscales (mind readers have silver teardrop scales by the corners of their eyes). In [[The Dragonet Prophecy|''The Dragonet Prophecy'']], when [[Morrowseer]] dropped off [[Starflight]], it said that the sun picked up glints of purple and deep blue on his body. They have been described with dark green or black eyes. The underside of their wings are always black and speckled with silver scales (Not to be confused with the popular fan depiction of purple on the underside of the wing. This is incorrect), giving it the appearance of a night sky filled with twinkling stars, allowing them to fly at night without detection.


Starflight's father, [[Mastermind]], has done studies about genetic wing patterns. Both Starflight and Mastermind have similar patterns, whereas Morrowseer's were different. Mastermind's theory appeared to be that the star spiral patterns are genetic.  
==== Animus magic ====
NightWings have animus dragons, with the earliest known powers tracing back to the NightWing-[[IceWing]] [[hybrid]] Darkstalker.{{Ref|MR|120}} All known animus NightWing dragons are descended from [[Whiteout]], as she carried animus genetics while Darkstalker did not have dragonets.{{Ref|ToP|39}} They may have had animus magic before Darkstalker, as they once believed that the third full moon gave animus magic.{{Ref|MR|156}} In modern times, they are likely expected or forced to use their powers for the good of their tribe.{{Ref|TBN|151}}


NightWings are also known to be able to hang "from crags and rocks and ceilings like bats," as described by Starflight in ''[[The Dark Secret]].''
== Society ==
=== Modern era ===
NightWing society is undergoing a great deal of change as they adjust to life in the rainforest. Many of them were bitter due to their [[queen]] being a RainWing,{{Ref|MR|11}} and although some have become more accepting of the idea,{{Ref|DoD|357}} Glory's queenship is quite controversial among them,{{Ref|W1q|3}} but they still contain a tribal aura of mystery{{Ref|EP|97}} and spookiness.{{Ref|EP|177}}


NightWing names are commonly made up of two words (for example, Mind-reader or Fate-speaker), although others are just made of one word (like [[Wisdom]], [[Listener]], or [[Princess Greatness|Greatness]]). Some of the names are about what that NightWing does (such as Queen Battlewinner), and some are about how they look (such as [[Strongwings]], who is bulky with large wings). Other names are lies, as Winter says in Moon Rising (such as [[Mindreader]]).
=== NightWing Island Era ===
While living on the volcanic island, NightWings poured a great deal of effort into making their tribe seem mysterious and powerful to hide their real weakened state. They trained their dragonets to lie about their 'powers,' and kept them confined to the island until at least age ten to prevent any breaches of information.{{Ref|TDS|7}}{{Ref|TDS|10}}


==Abilities==
They were exceptionally skilled at keeping secrets,{{Ref|W1q|6}}{{Ref|W1q|9}} and NightWing information was given to dragonets as they grow older.{{Ref|W1q|14}} They were not allowed to leave the island until the age of ten,{{Ref|W1q|17}} and most NightWings would try to counter sarcasm with more sarcasm, as though every conversation was a competition to see whose wit was more biting. Usually, no one stopped to acknowledge that someone else was funny.{{Ref|W1q|24}} In general, sentimental sincerity was not a NightWing trait.{{Ref|W1q|29}} Loyalty, secrecy, and obedience to NightWing elders were the most important lessons for dragonets within the tribe,{{Ref|W2q|41}} and young NightWings were kept away from other tribes, as older dragons did not trust them to keep NightWing secrets.{{Ref|W2q|45}} When [[Battlewinner]] disappeared from public view, enforcement of guard and patrol duties was considerably weakened,{{Ref|W2q|47}} and many citizens believed that guarding and patrolling an island that no one was able to locate was ultimately pointless.{{Ref|W2q|48}} Leaving the island and traveling to the mainland was every young dragonet's dream.{{Ref|W2q|50}} NightWings were not supposed to be seen within the mainland,{{Ref|W2q|56}} and [[Deathbringer]]'s main objective as an assassin was to ensure that the NightWing involvement in the War of SandWing Succession was kept under heavy secrecy.{{Ref|W2q|59}}
NightWings are described as "the night sky coming down on you" if they were to attack you. They move unseen through the shadows and blend into the night, which gives them a fearful reputation and makes them more deadly and excellent assasins. They can also be described as being able to melt into the shadows, becoming slightly invisible.


In [[scrolls]], NightWings are said to possess legendary abilities. They are claimed to have the ability of mind-reading, as well as being able to tell prophecies from forseeing the future; this was proven false by Stonemover, who said that no NightWing had either of these abilities in the last few centuries, which, unknown to the NightWings, was because the NightWing eggs had stopped being exposed to moonlight. However, a young dragon named Moonwatcher obtained the power to read minds, in Moon Rising, because she hatched in the rain forest, proving these powers still exist. Later in "Moon Rising", Moon says that other NightWings are having eggs in the rainforest, therefore under the moonlight, proving that these powers will come to thrive in the NightWing tribe and make the NightWings "all powerful" again. In addition, these dragons are also able to breathe fire at any time, like [[SkyWings]] and SandWings. NightWings also appear to be slightly fire-proof shown with [[Vengeance]] and Starflight.
A game involving bones and tiny skulls were played by a pair of two adult NightWings.{{Ref|W2q|48}}


The NightWings who lived at the [[Night Kingdom|volcano]] seem to have some kind of bacteria living in their saliva that does not affect them. They use this to incapacitate their prey, ensuring it can't go anywhere, then return later for it when its wound has become infected or it has died. Eating this decayed food has caused them to have horrible breath. But other dragons such as Starflight, [[Fatespeaker]] or [[Deathbringer]], who lived away from the volcano a long time, ate freshly killed prey, making their saliva unlike those of the NightWings who lived by the volcano on the island. 
=== ''Darkstalker'' era ===
In the time of ''Darkstalker,'' NightWing mothers typically named their dragonets.{{Ref|L1|15}} The tribe also functioned nocturnally, usually waking after midday and sleeping at sunrise.{{Ref|L1|74}} NightWings of higher status lived in higher homes in the cliffs, while lower ones lived closer to the bottom, where less desirable homes were.{{Ref|L1|73}} They also appeared to value knowledge and reading, as they had an extensive library{{Ref|ToP|218}} and honored the first librarians of the kingdom.{{Ref|L1|182}} In Clearsight's time, the NightWings were famous for their intertribal relations, open trade partnerships, literature, and artwork, which had been sold across the continent. Dragons from all over Pyrrhia brought them new ideas, inventions, and discoveries.{{Ref|L1|257}} Most dragonets started school when they were one year old.{{Ref|L1|42}}


NightWings have been shown to be more active at night, with Deathbringer and Fatespeaker as examples. They seem to have a very strong sense of smell, shown with Starflight. [[Sunny|Sunny's]] strong sense of smell and hearing came from her NightWing side and the SandWing side, respectively.
NightWings had a centuries-old feud with the IceWings due to the legend of [[Foeslayer]] and Arctic, known as the [[NightWing-IceWing War]]. The feud is at least on pause as of ''[[Darkness of Dragons]].''{{Ref|DoD|318-320}}


Darkstalker told Moonwatcher in ''Moon Rising'' that a NightWing hatched under one full moon can either read minds or see the future, while a NightWing that hatched under two full moons has both. He also said that if an egg hatches under three full moons the dragonet still has both powers but strengthened, he did not know if there would be any stronger ones.
Ancient NightWing nests were depicted as bowls of carved stone that are lined with black fur, and eggs were typically hatched atop high mountain peaks.{{Ref|L1|13}}


NightWings are very good at making up prophecies. They attend special classes to figure out how to make them sound real. They are also good at making it seem like they can read minds.
=== Pre-''Darkstalker'' era ===
 
NightWings were the first tribe to develop a written [[languages#Dragon|Dragon]] language. They taught it to the other tribes and traveling NightWing teachers would fly across Pyrrhia to bring scrolls to the tribes.{{Ref|AGttDW|98}} They had scrolls from other tribes including architecture plans and records from NightWing scriptoriums. They also took medicine seriously and would discover healing techniques that they would share with the other tribes. They would use their powers to protect the other tribes.{{Ref|AGttDW|99}}
==History==
Over 2,000 years after the Scorching, the Night Kingdom was located on a peninsula that is currently a part of the Sand Kingdom, which was described to have been riddled with valleys and mountains. After Darkstalker's abilities were shown, and he was believed to be a danger to the Tribe, the entire Kingdom fled the continent and migrated to a volcanic island a day's flight from the [[Sky Kingdom]]. More than a thousand years later, the long dormant volcano erupted, destroying their home.
 
[[The Dragonet Prophecy (prophecy)|The Dragonet Prophecy]] was written by Queen Battlewinner and Morrowseer who delivered Starflight's and Fatespeaker's [[Dragon Eggs|eggs]] to the [[Talons of Peace]] after a volcanic eruption on their island. The prophecy was their plan to invade and take over the Rainforest Kingdom, which was and still is inhabited by the RainWings.
 
[[IceWings]] and NightWings have hated each other going all the way back to a war they once fought against each other. Morrowseer even ordered the death of all of the eight IceWing prisoners in the rescue of Starflight in Scarlet's arena. This is also shown in the prophecy, which does not include an IceWing dragonet. Another likely cause is Queen Battlewinner was blasted by an IceWing's breath in the mouth, forcing her to live submerged in lava.
 
The NightWings gradually captured seventeen RainWings for their experimentation on [[RainWings|RainWing]] venom, what Mastermind called "science". Their goal was to make venom-proof armor for an attack on the RainWings to take over their rainforest. However, all data was lost when the NightWings fled their home.
 
Additionally, they seem to have animus dragons, however, Stonemover and Darkstalker are the only known animus NightWings, but it's also shown that [[Ex-Queen Scarlet]] [[Scarlet's Companion|has an animus]] that has no actual powers, only limited and taken from Darkstalker's talisman.
 
In ''The Dark Secret'', it is shown that the NightWings are being threatened by the volcanic island they inhabit, which is slowly building up to an eruption and diminishing the main source of food. Although Princess Greatness claimed that scientific estimates had placed the eruption at least twenty years into the future, at the end of the book, the volcano erupts. Shortly before this, the NightWings surrendered to the RainWings in exchange for a safe place to live and food to eat. Most of the NightWings escaped through the [[Rainforest Kingdom]] portal unharmed. However, Morrowseer was (most likely) killed by the eruption, with what is believed to be his remains found in the NightWing tunnel in ''[[Winter Turning]]'', and Starflight was blinded. The event where the NightWings traveled from their kingdom to the Rainforest Kingdom is called the NightWing Exodus.
 
==Society==
NightWings form lifelong partnerships, similar to [[SeaWings]]. Their dragonets live in dormitories located in caves on the sides of the volcano. They are not allowed to go to the mainland until they are at least ten years old because they "can't keep NightWing secrets safe."
 
NightWing names are very literal, although sometimes ironic. These dragonets are usually named according to their talents; for example, Morrowseer got his name for "seeing" the "morrow." Morrow is short for tomorrow, meaning the future. Deathbringer's name refers to his occupation as an assassin. Queen Battlewinner presumably got hers for military strategy, or perhaps a future battle which was predicted to be won by her. Moonwatcher was named for as she hatched, her eyes reflected the moons. NightWings are occasionally named for physical traits, like [[Fierceteeth]], [[Mightyclaws]], [[Bigtail]], and Strongwings, or after character virtues, like Greatness or [[Vengeance]]. Exactly ''how ''they know what a dragon's talent will be when it hatches is unknown. It is plausible that they might wait and see for it to appear, or have another NightWing predict it, although this is unlikely because it was revealed NightWings have not had powers in several centuries. [[Queen Glory|Glory]] mentions in [[The Hidden Kingdom|''The Hidden Kingdom'']] that in scrolls, NightWings always had "mouthful names". This is probably because most of them have two-part names. Also, in ''Moon Rising'', [[Winter]] says to Moonwatcher, "We know all your names are lies", stating that NightWing names may be what the parents hope for their dragonet, rather than what they may actually be.
 
Complete loyalty seems to be an emphasised NightWing trait, as many of their actions (abducting RainWings, false dragonet prophecy, murders,) point towards a "blind loyalty" to their tribe, the willingness to do anything for their tribe, even wiping out another tribe of dragons.
 
Before the NightWings fled to the volcanic island, they were, as Clearsight told Darkstalker, a tribe with a social culture, gaining from trades with the other tribes. Clearsight told [[Listener]] that every NightWing dragonet needs education, which shows that NightWings valued intelligence.


== Names ==
== Names ==
NightWing names can be compound words describing the NightWing powers, such as Fatespeaker and Mindreader. The names can also describe the dragon's personality or ability, such as Mastermind and Quickdeath. Descriptive words, such as Thoughtful and Vengeance, are used as well, as are night-themed words such as Starflight and Moonwatcher.
NightWing names may be descriptive of the dragon's personality (such as [[Thoughtful]], [[Greatness]], [[Wisdom]], and [[Listener]]), relate to an aptitude or job (such as [[Mastermind]], Deathbringer, or [[Quickstrike]]), describe or relate to their physical appearance (such as [[Bigtail]] and [[Strongwings]]), or be night-themed (such as [[Starflight]], [[Eclipse (DoD)|Eclipse]], and Moonwatcher).
 
Their names may also be inspired by the NightWing powers (names such as Fatespeaker, [[Mindreader]], and [[Morrowseer]].) Most NightWing names are meant to give a sense of strength or mightiness.
==Notable NightWings==
===Starflight===
Starflight is one of the [[The Dragonets of Destiny|Dragonets of Destiny]] and the main protagonist of ''The Dark Secret''. His replacement dragonet is [[Fatespeaker]], with whom he became friends with. He relies on his mind and knowledge rather than his pathetic combat skills. He does not possess abilities of mind-reading or foretelling the future, although he would've had both if he was born outside the cave, under the three full moons. He was revealed to have strong feelings for Sunny, the SandWing dragonet of the prophecy. He is the half brother of Fierceteeth and the son of Mastermind and [[Farsight]] (now deceased). Starflight, however, has relationship problems when it comes to both Sunny and Fatespeaker. He is now the librarian at [[Jade Mountain Academy]]. Starflight is blind, due to the volcano explosion in ''The Dark Secret''.
 
===Morrowseer===
Morrowseer is one of the most notable and important NightWings and has unlimited access to Queen Battlewinner's throne room. He is excluded from the rotating food schedule that NightWings have due to the lack of prey on the island, as he is too important to the tribe's future to eat so little. He is shown to be grumpy the majority of the time and tries to use Starflight to make the dragonets choose Blister as the new SandWing queen, but Starflight only ends up antagonising Blister. Morrowseer might've been killed after he was engulfed in lava and fire from the volcanic explosion at the end of ''The Dark Secret.'' In ''Winter Turning,'' however, the outline of a dead dragon appears on the outside of the hidden tunnel connecting the volcano to the rainforest, which may be Morrowseer. Although Tui hinted that there may be a possibility that Morrowseer survived the eruption. It was confirmed in [[Moon Rising|''Moon Rising'']] that Morrowseer was Moonwatcher's father, and his mate or wife was [[Secretkeeper]].
 
===Ex-Queen Battlewinner===
Ex-Queen Battlewinner was the NightWing tribe's queen before they moved to the rainforest. Her existence was kept a secret and she communicated through her daughter, Greatness. She lived in a pool of hot lava because her vital organs were frozen by an IceWing's frost breath while she was on the continent. The lava counteracts the ice freezing her from the inside. She froze to death in a matter of seconds after exiting the lava pool in a furious attempt to kill Queen Glory Of the RainWings.
 
===Princess Greatness===
Greatness is Queen Battlewinner's daughter. The queen speaks through her using small holes in the [[NightWing Fortress|NightWing Fortress's]] walls. She wears a diamond necklace and she agrees to Starflight's plan of the NightWings coming to the Rainforest Kingdom. Deathbringer is known as her "pet assassin." Starflight describes her as not fit to rule as queen, as she does not have a majestic or commanding aura.
 
===Deathbringer===
Deathbringer is a NightWing assassin hired to kill a few of the dragonets. He was described by Glory as "a lot younger and smaller than Morrowseer, wiry and graceful in his movements even when he was startled." He is a lot less grumpy than some other NightWings. He clearly has feelings for Glory, as shown in ''[[The Hidden Kingdom]]''. He uses sharp silver discs as weapons against the dragonets and [[Princess Blaze|Blaze]]. In ''The Dark Secret'', he was imprisoned for aiding Glory, [[Kinkajou]], and [[Clay]] in their escape from the island. Due to his relationship with Greatness, he narrowly avoided being executed. He is the PoV for ''[[Assassin]]''.


===Stonemover===
Click [[:Category:NightWings|here]] for a list of known NightWings.
Stonemover is an [[Animus Dragons|animus dragon]] that used to live in a cave on the [[Jade Mountain]]. He was the one that made the tunnels from the NightWing island to the Rainforest Kingdom and from there to the Kingdom of Sand. He is the father of Sunny and mate of [[Queen Thorn]]. Instead of turning evil when he uses his animus powers, he "turned the magic on itself" by directing it towards his scales, not his soul, slowly turning every scale of his into stone. He is terrified of his power and refuses to use it.


===Fatespeaker===
==== Animus dragons ====
Fatespeaker is a [[The False Dragonets|false dragonet]] of destiny and supposed to be Starflight's replacement. She has strong feelings for Starflight and helps him fly around due to his blindness. There is a possibility that she has very weak powers for telling the future, although most of her predictions are incorrect (or not correctly timed, as she believes). She also works at Jade Mountain Academy and is the counselor and helper.
* [[Darkstalker (L1)|Darkstalker]] (half IceWing)
* [[Stonemover]] 
* [[Unnamed characters#Hybrids|Unnamed granddaughter and great-great-great-grandson of Whiteout]]


===Moonwatcher===
==== Students at Jade Mountain ====
Moonwatcher is the PoV of ''Moon Rising''. Her egg was left alone in the Rainforest Kingdom by her mother Secretkeeper. She is telepathic and precognitive, as a result from being hatched under the light of two full moons. She usually goes by Moon and is in the Jade winglet at Jade Mountain Academy.
* [[Bigtail]] (formerly; deceased)
 
===Fierceteeth===
She is Starflight's half-sister and is the PoV for ''[[Prisoners|Prisoner]]''. She wanted to be the NightWing for the prophecy, but she was hatched two years before the brightest night, which is too early. 
 
===Darkstalker===
Darkstalker is an [[Animus Dragons|animus]]. Since he was born under three full moons, he also gained the powers of mind-reading and precognition. He was a NightWing and IceWing hybrid who killed his father and is the first animus of the NightWings. Foeslayer, his mother, ran away with Prince Arctic, and had two eggs together, though the IceWings think she "kidnapped" Arctic because the NightWings had no animus dragons at the time. According to the information in [[Escaping Peril|''Escaping Peril'']], Darkstalker enchanted his father to obey his every command and then he commanded his father to disembowel himself in public, which caused the NightWings to flee to another home. He was trapped forever under a sleeping spell cast upon him by his lover Clearsight and his friend and animus [[Prince Fathom|Fathom]]. He is later awakened when an earthquake breaks the cursed bracelet. Darkstalker finds out that Moon is a mind reader like himself by reading her mind, and asks her to free him. Darkstalker is also the first known full-power king and was the king of the NightWings, but was defeated and turned into Peacemaker by Kinkajou in DoD. The NightWings agreed with him to be king with reasons such as Darkstalker being able to grant them any power they wish.
 
=== Clearsight ===
Clearsight was a NightWing with exceptional precognition powers that were more powerful than any other NightWing. However, unlike most seers, she could see many different threads of the future and could see many possible outcomes without them having to just come to her. She saw many different timelines where Darkstalker killed many other dragons, whether by going crazy because of his animus powers or by a series of events that eventually caused him to make his father, Prince Arctic, disembowel himself. After this, she and Prince Fathom took the last opportunity to stop him, by enchanting the copper bracelet which Darkstalker had given Clearsight when they were younger, to send Darkstalker into a deep sleep. After that, it is hinted that Clearsight travels out of the continent and finds new tribes of dragons and maybe goes onto have dragonets with someone else.
 
==Current Rulers==
The current ruler of the NightWings is Queen Glory. Glory ascended to the throne once Queen Battlewinner died during the [[the NightWing Exodus|NightWing Exodus]], and [[Princess Greatness]] claimed she didn't want the throne. In [[Talons of Power (Book)|''Talons of Power'' ]]Darkstalker proposes to be king of the NightWings and Glory agrees, only when Darkstalker finally convinces her. He took at least half of the NightWings with him, but when he was defeated in [[Darkness of Dragons|''Darkness of Dragons'']] the NightWings returned to the rain forest. '' ''

NightWings, also known as night dragons to humans, are a Pyrrhian dragon tribe who currently reside in the Rainforest Kingdom, alongside the RainWings, within the tropical rainforest in the lower southeast of Pyrrhia. They are currently ruled by Queen Glory.

The NightWing tribe previously lived on the Talon Peninsula, also known as the lost city of night or the old Night Kingdom. After Darkstalker murdered Prince Arctic, the NightWings feared that his ghost haunted the peninsula and fled to the NightWing island off the northern coast of the Sky Kingdom where they remained until the NightWing Exodus. They were secretly allied with Blister towards the end of the War of SandWing Succession.

A large portion of the tribe was briefly ruled by Darkstalker in the second arc. There were only fifty or so NightWings who stayed in the rainforest during this time.

Twenty-seven NightWings separated from Queen Glory and currently live in an encampment in the lost city of night known as Renewal.

Description

NightWings are based on monitor lizards.[event 1] They have been described to have forked, pitch-black tongues, as well as dark scales which are usually black[1] or in shades of dark green, blue,[2] purple,[3] or dull gray.[4] They also may have purple[5] or dark green[6] underbellies, and dapples of silver scales running along their necks. Their wings have silver scales scattered across them like the stars of a night sky, forming different patterns. These patterns are genetic.[7] NightWings have been described with black,[8] dark blue,[9] purple,[event 2] or dark green eyes.[6] They have straight horns.[10]

NightWings can melt into shadows and blend into the night sky due to their colors and wing patterns. Mind readers have silver teardrop scales by the corners of their eyes,[11] and empaths such as Fatespeaker will also have these teardrop scales;[5] however, it is possible that NightWings with teardrop scales may not have this ability.[12] Seers have no physical indications of their power.

Diet

Morrowseer eating the carrion of a giant albatross on the NightWing island from The Dark Secret (graphic novel), by Mike Holmes

On the volcanic island, NightWings ate mostly carrion. They would bite their prey, poisoning it with bacteria from inside their mouths, and leave it to decease. After it was dead, they would return to eat it.[13] On the island, seafaring birds could be found. They would also hunt in the rainforest, for prey such as sloths, and may have gathered some fruit. While living on this island, most NightWings ate once per week, which contributed to their malnutrition.[14]

After relocating to the rainforest, NightWings began to incorporate fruits and vegetables into their diet, though they continue to eat meat,[15] with the exception of sloths.

In the time of Darkstalker, hunting was very similar to other tribes. They ate hawks,[16] fish,[17] bears,[18] squirrels,[17] rattlesnakes,[17] and wolves.[19] They cooked their food, including roasted nuts and baked bear, and had access to cheese.[18] They would also purchase fruits from RainWing merchants.[18]

Abilities

NightWings are a nocturnal[20] tribe that can blend into the night sky and shadows. They can also breathe fire, and most modern NightWings have harmful bacteria in their mouths which can poison animals with a single bite.[21] However, it is noted that after searching through the corpses of dead NightWings, there was no venom found in their teeth.[22] They have a strong sense of smell[14] and powerful night vision.[23][24] NightWings hatched under one full moon have the power of mind-reading or prophecy, and those hatched under two have both. Dragonets hatched under three full moons will have both of these powers, which have been made stronger by the third moon. NightWings once thought that the third full moon gave animus powers, though this was later disconfirmed, as animus powers are passed on genetically.[25] The power of the gifts varies, such as Clearsight having strong foresight.[event 3] When the NightWings moved to the volcanic island, knowledge of these powers was forgotten, possibly on purpose.[26] NightWing eggs touched by the moonlight of a full moon will turn an eerie polished silver color, while untouched eggs remain an ebony black.[27]

Mind-reading NightWings can observe the thoughts of those around them. They cannot 'rummage around' in another dragon's head, but hear thoughts as the dragon thinks them, often only picking up on jumbled words, pictures, and emotions; thoughts are louder and stronger to the mind reader when they are touching the former.[28] In the time of Darkstalker, dragonets were taught ways to block out the minds of others, though this practice was lost over time without powers.[29] Mind readers can project their thoughts to one another to have mental conversations, and powerful mind readers may be able to block the visions of prophets.[30][31] Dragons with this power hatched under a blood moon can project their thoughts to any dragon, not just other mind readers.[event 4]

Prophetic NightWings can see flashes and visions of the future. On occasion, they will have a true prophecy, which will manifest as words rather than a vision in the dragon's head.[32] In the time of Darkstalker, prophets would sometimes take regular visions and translate them to sound like real prophecies. Very powerful prophets may be able to look into the future and follow individual timelines.[33] Futures have been described as 'webs', as they overlap and are easily mixed up.[34] Prophets hatched beneath a blood moon can see terrible events and natural disasters with particular clarity.[event 5] When NightWings deliver prophecies, their eyes glow and their voices become low and shivery.[35]

Animus magic

NightWings have animus dragons, with the earliest known powers tracing back to the NightWing-IceWing hybrid Darkstalker.[36] All known animus NightWing dragons are descended from Whiteout, as she carried animus genetics while Darkstalker did not have dragonets.[37] They may have had animus magic before Darkstalker, as they once believed that the third full moon gave animus magic.[25] In modern times, they are likely expected or forced to use their powers for the good of their tribe.[38]

Society

Modern era

NightWing society is undergoing a great deal of change as they adjust to life in the rainforest. Many of them were bitter due to their queen being a RainWing,[39] and although some have become more accepting of the idea,[40] Glory's queenship is quite controversial among them,[41] but they still contain a tribal aura of mystery[42] and spookiness.[43]

NightWing Island Era

While living on the volcanic island, NightWings poured a great deal of effort into making their tribe seem mysterious and powerful to hide their real weakened state. They trained their dragonets to lie about their 'powers,' and kept them confined to the island until at least age ten to prevent any breaches of information.[44][45]

They were exceptionally skilled at keeping secrets,[46][47] and NightWing information was given to dragonets as they grow older.[48] They were not allowed to leave the island until the age of ten,[49] and most NightWings would try to counter sarcasm with more sarcasm, as though every conversation was a competition to see whose wit was more biting. Usually, no one stopped to acknowledge that someone else was funny.[50] In general, sentimental sincerity was not a NightWing trait.[51] Loyalty, secrecy, and obedience to NightWing elders were the most important lessons for dragonets within the tribe,[52] and young NightWings were kept away from other tribes, as older dragons did not trust them to keep NightWing secrets.[53] When Battlewinner disappeared from public view, enforcement of guard and patrol duties was considerably weakened,[54] and many citizens believed that guarding and patrolling an island that no one was able to locate was ultimately pointless.[55] Leaving the island and traveling to the mainland was every young dragonet's dream.[56] NightWings were not supposed to be seen within the mainland,[57] and Deathbringer's main objective as an assassin was to ensure that the NightWing involvement in the War of SandWing Succession was kept under heavy secrecy.[58]

A game involving bones and tiny skulls were played by a pair of two adult NightWings.[55]

Darkstalker era

In the time of Darkstalker, NightWing mothers typically named their dragonets.[59] The tribe also functioned nocturnally, usually waking after midday and sleeping at sunrise.[60] NightWings of higher status lived in higher homes in the cliffs, while lower ones lived closer to the bottom, where less desirable homes were.[61] They also appeared to value knowledge and reading, as they had an extensive library[62] and honored the first librarians of the kingdom.[63] In Clearsight's time, the NightWings were famous for their intertribal relations, open trade partnerships, literature, and artwork, which had been sold across the continent. Dragons from all over Pyrrhia brought them new ideas, inventions, and discoveries.[64] Most dragonets started school when they were one year old.[65]

NightWings had a centuries-old feud with the IceWings due to the legend of Foeslayer and Arctic, known as the NightWing-IceWing War. The feud is at least on pause as of Darkness of Dragons.[66]

Ancient NightWing nests were depicted as bowls of carved stone that are lined with black fur, and eggs were typically hatched atop high mountain peaks.[67]

Pre-Darkstalker era

NightWings were the first tribe to develop a written Dragon language. They taught it to the other tribes and traveling NightWing teachers would fly across Pyrrhia to bring scrolls to the tribes.[68] They had scrolls from other tribes including architecture plans and records from NightWing scriptoriums. They also took medicine seriously and would discover healing techniques that they would share with the other tribes. They would use their powers to protect the other tribes.[69]

Names

NightWing names may be descriptive of the dragon's personality (such as Thoughtful, Greatness, Wisdom, and Listener), relate to an aptitude or job (such as Mastermind, Deathbringer, or Quickstrike), describe or relate to their physical appearance (such as Bigtail and Strongwings), or be night-themed (such as Starflight, Eclipse, and Moonwatcher). Their names may also be inspired by the NightWing powers (names such as Fatespeaker, Mindreader, and Morrowseer.) Most NightWing names are meant to give a sense of strength or mightiness.
