'''RainWings''', also known as '''rainforest dragons''' to [[humans]], are a [[Pyrrhian]] [[dragons|dragon]] tribe that reside in the [[Rainforest Kingdom]], alongside the [[NightWings]]. RainWings are usually pacifists and were not involved in the [[War of SandWing Succession]]. They are currently ruled by [[Queen Glory]].


'''RainWings''' are the peaceful and pacifist tribe of Pyrrhian [[Dragons|dragons]], similar to [[SilkWings]]. This tribe currently lives in the [[Rainforest Kingdom]]. They can spit deadly black venom from their front fangs that can harm or kill any living thing, move through the rainforest quickly and gracefully by swinging from their tails, and can change the colors of their scales. They may change them intentionally, to whichever colors they please or to their emotions, a skill often used to camouflage themselves. They were originally ruled by the RainWing royal family, as the rest of the Pyrrhian tribes are, but all of [[Queen Grandeur]]'s heirs were unworthy for the throne. As a result, Queen Grandeur merged her eggs with those of her tribe, in the hope of finding a suitable future heir. However, the plan proved unsuccessful. Although Grandeur did find heirs, none of them were even decently fit to rule or they did not want to rule, but they would have been good queens. She decided that the best that she could do was to put the queens who auditioned for the position on a monthly rotation so that each "queen" would get one month each in their cycle to have a turn to rule. 
== Description ==
[[File:A happy Rainwing .jpg|thumb|[[Glory]]'s scales changing color to reflect her mood from ''[[The Hidden Kingdom (graphic novel)]]'', by [[Mike Holmes]]]][[File:Rainwing eggs.jpg|thumb|RainWing eggs from ''[[A Guide to the Dragon World]]'', by [[Joy Ang]]|151x151px]] RainWings are based on chameleons.{{Ref|Event|https://www.deviantart.com/biohazardia/journal/Rochester-Book-Fest-The-Aftermath-Tui-Answers-819674249}} They are long and graceful, with ruffs behind their ears, curved horns, and prehensile tails that are used primarily for climbing, swinging in trees, and hanging off branches in the rainforest they inhabit, like birds of paradise. When afraid, insulted, or angry, RainWings flare their ruffs as a sign of aggression or hostility.{{Ref|WT|41}}


RainWings tend to be peaceful pacifists, that typically don't rush into fights, as shown when the NightWings captured them and experimented on their venom, although they likely have not always been this way. Instead of having a palace like most tribes, the RainWing queen resides in an ordinary-sized hut usually decorated with flowers which other dragons can visit her in. They will line up and wait when they wanted to talk to the queen about something. Although RainWings are peaceful dragons (for now), there could have been a time where RainWings were at war with another tribe, due to Grandeur hinting to [[Queen Glory|Glory]] that she remembers when they used their camouflage to hide from enemies. In ''[[Darkstalker (Legends)]]'', [[Queen Lagoon]] said, "If we find another animus in the tribe, that would make us twice as powerful, which would be quite useful given how the [[MudWings]] and RainWings have been behaving lately," implying that they once weren't the lazy, happy tribe they are considered to be now, although Glory and other RainWings have proven that not all current RainWings are as lazy they seem.
RainWings have small, round scales that can change color. Most RainWings prefer vivid, bright colors; however, if they wish, they can camouflage to look like they have disappeared. They can control the color of their scales, though they often have a hard time stopping strong emotions from showing through them. Most RainWings have a 'default' color scheme that they set their scales to when they are not showing emotions. RainWing eyes can change color, and they may not be able to camouflage when they are afraid or in pain.{{Cite}} RainWings also cannot camouflage if someone who does not know how to camouflage is mind-controlling them (via the [[othermind]]).{{Ref|TFoH|253}} RainWings are able to blend into their surroundings at will otherwise. Although their eyes shift colors like their scales, RainWings primarily have green, yellow, brown, or blue eyes.{{Ref|AGttDW|61}}


RainWings are able to mimic the realistic appearance of other tribes with their scales.{{Ref|WT|72–73}} RainWing dragonets develop their color-shifting scales while they are still in their eggs, which are pale, smooth, and white.{{Ref|THK|40-41}} RainWings have sun-time to make their scales beautiful and improve their mood.{{Cite}}

== Diet ==
[[File:Mango1.png|thumb|A mango from ''The Hidden Kingdom (graphic novel)'', by Mike Holmes]]
RainWings are generally vegetarians, but some will eat monkeys and other rainforest animals.{{Ref|THK|30–49}} [[Jambu]] stated that eating sloths could cause indigestion for days due to how much fur they have and suggested not to eat them for that reason. {{Ref|THK|37}} As sloths are a RainWing pet, it is strongly frowned upon to eat them. Some RainWings are quite protective of their sloths and will not let others eat them, as shown with [[Exquisite]]. While fruit and various rainforest plants are the main part of their diets, RainWings also eat chocolate.{{Ref|TFoH|266}} RainWings are known to eat less than the other dragon tribes when they nap in the sun.{{Ref|TDG|274}} Glory described it as if the sun gave her more energy than any food could give her, and Jambu states that the sun gives them more than half the energy to survive.{{Ref|THK|49}}


==Description==
Prior to the reign of [[Queen Jacaranda]], RainWings ate meat such as sloths.{{Ref|AGttDW|82}}
A RainWing's scales will generally change color according to their mood, whether they want that color or not. Although they can control their scales, they can have a hard time stopping emotions, particularly powerful ones, from coming through, but most current RainWings don't mind having their feelings on display, with the exception of Queen Glory. RainWings can also change color when they want to camouflage themselves or show off. They are never left remaining monochromatic (except in the case of [[Chameleon]], a RainWing who was hatched unable to change the color of his scales due to a snout deformity. This made him unable to sleep for about more than an hour and also made him stay a "boring, un-attractive" lime green). A RainWing can stamp out all emotion before it "splatters out all over their scales", as described by Queen Glory. Any RainWing, (apart from [[Tamarin]], a blind RainWing) can control their scale colors. Oftentimes, RainWings will change their scale colors to be as bright and pretty as possible in front of other dragons to show off. In ''[[Winter Turning]]'', [[Winter]] thinks it's "amazing" how RainWing dragonets can change their scale color and match Winter and [[Qibli]]'s when they are less than one year old. They can't change the color of their eyes, although in the graphic novel, Glory's eyes can be seen changing from yellow, to green, to blue, to red, to purple, multiple times. When a RainWing's fear is very strong, they will turn pale green and white and are unable to camouflage or change their scales.
 
The sun is needed to make a RainWing's scales beautiful and vivid (and to keep them in an agreeable, peaceful mood according to Mangrove), so sometime around noon when the sun is at its highest each day, every RainWing takes a nap they call "sun time". If they do not get said sun time, then their scales will not be as vibrant or bright. In addition to making them better at camouflage and color changing, sun time also makes a RainWing less grumpy and gives them more energy, like a lizard basking in the sun. (As we learn from [[Clay]] in ''[[The Dragonet Prophecy]]'', sun time without sun has few benefits on a dragon's mood.)
 
RainWings are long and graceful, with a ruff behind their ears and prehensile tails that are used primarily for climbing trees and hanging in the rainforest they inhabit. When afraid or insulted, or angry, RainWings flare their ruffs, possibly as a defense tactic, to seem bigger or to scare away others, similar to that of the [[Wikipedia:Chlamydosaurus|frilled lizard]].
 
RainWing [[dragonets]] develop their color-shifting scales while they're still in their eggs, which are a smooth white in color, not rainbow as depicted in ''[[The Dragonet Prophecy (Graphic Novel)]]''.


== Abilities ==
== Abilities ==
RainWings have long, prehensile tails that are great for swinging through the rainforest, as well as long fangs and color-changing scales. Some RainWings are able to mimic certain bird calls.{{Ref|THK|265}}


=== Color-changing Scales ===
They are capable of absorbing sunlight, which gives them energy and causes their scales to become brighter. They have a dedicated time to sleep in the sun, known as "suntime", when the sun is at its highest, and RainWings who do not sleep in the sun may have duller or unchangeable scales.{{Ref|THK|29}}{{Ref|WT|109}} Sunlight is also vital to the development of other RainWing abilities, such as venom, and to their good mood.{{Ref|TDP|238}}{{Ref|THK|30}} However, if a RainWing has a certain snout deformity that causes them to be unable to sleep for long periods of time, like [[Chameleon]]'s, they cannot change color.{{Ref|WT|109}}
RainWings can alter the color of their scales to mimic objects (such as tree frogs or pearls), their surroundings, other dragons, or simply to suit their preference. 
[[File:20180115 081922.jpg|thumb|Glory changing color to match her surroundings]]
A RainWing's colors may also change if they feel a particularly strong emotion, such as pale green or white for fear or pain, purple for guilt, yellow for amusement, pink for happiness, emerald for displeasure, red and black for anger, grey for sadness, blue for calm. Sunlight "recharges" their scales, making them better at camouflage, as well as giving them energy and making them happier and supposedly smarter. Glory's scales aren't as bright because she had stuck in a cave all her life.


=== Prehensile Tails ===
RainWing scales change color by bending light.{{Ref|Event|https://web.archive.org/web/20150701031832/http://wingsoffire.scholastic.com/books/wings-of-fire-book-one-the-dragonet-prophecy/read/5#chapter-3}} When at ease, RainWing scales may reflect their emotions. They can also manipulate their scales to be any color they wish,<ref>[[Dragon guides]]</ref> though strong emotions may break through a chosen scale color.{{Ref|THK|29}} RainWings can also use their scales for camouflage, reflecting their surroundings and making them effectively invisible to most dragons. Other RainWings may be able to spot a disguised dragon. This is a skill they develop at a young age during games of hide-and-seek.{{Ref|WT|82}} RainWings can change the color of their eyes and are able to manipulate a fine level of detail onto their scales.{{Ref|Event|https://www.deviantart.com/xthedragonrebornx/journal/Tui-and-Questions-Answered-691255321}}{{Ref|THK|278}}
RainWings also have prehensile tails much like chameleons to grip onto trees. They swing from tree to tree, called "tree gliding" to move about over long distances, as vines and branches would make normal flying difficult. RainWing dragonets take tree gliding lessons (as well as other things, such as venom training and fruit gathering).


=== RainWing Venom ===
RainWings who are born blind always show their emotions on their scales and cannot manually change them. When relaxed, their scales will automatically camouflage to their surroundings,{{Ref|THK|270}} and that ability can be improved with practice.{{Ref|TLH|10}}
RainWings possess deadly venom, the effects closely related to hydrofluoric acid (eating away at flesh), which can be shot from their two longest fangs, like a spitting cobra. Their venom melts away at dragon scales easily, and unless nullified with flame (or the venom of a relative to counteract the venom), the venom will kill the victim with alarming speed if some lands in their eyes or bloodstream. However, landing on normal scales you may survive, (for example, [[Ex-Queen Scarlet]], [[Vengeance]] and [[Kinkajou]]). Furthermore, RainWing venom only affects living things such as leaves or flowers, and cannot affect inorganic objects such as rocks or metal. Sometimes, though, if even only a small amount of venom comes in contact with another dragon, it can brutally scar their scales and leave them disfigured instead of killing them completely. RainWing venom is very painful when contacted, much like acid.
[[File:20180115_074853.jpg|thumb|RainWing venom, as demostrated in the graphic novel]]


As each dragon's heritage is somewhat fuzzy, before mating, two RainWings will spray their venom on leaves or other plant matter to see if they are related. A RainWing's venom will neutralize their relative's venom, whereas an unrelated dragon's venom will cause the target to dissolve faster. This is how Glory found how that Jambu was related to her.

[[File:Fiord suffering from venom.jpg|thumb|The effects of RainWing venom on [[Fjord]] from [[The Dragonet Prophecy (graphic novel)]], by Mike Holmes]]
RainWings have long front fangs which extend up high towards the target when ready to spit the venom and a jaw that can unhinge to shoot corrosive venom. This venom only affects organic material, such as animals and plants. Inorganic materials, such as rock and metal, are not affected.{{Ref|TDS|53}} It can be deadly if it reaches a dragon's bloodstream or eyes.{{Ref|TDS|53}} If a dragon survives a venom attack, it will leave warped, scarred scales or skin.{{Ref|TDS|191}} RainWing venom is neutralized by contact with the venom of a blood relative.{{Ref|THK|43}} Dragonet venom is shown to be weaker than adult venom,{{Ref|THK|179}} and usually older dragons will be able to shoot venom further. RainWing venom is black and will dry into glossy droplets (reminiscent of obsidian) after some time exposed to air.{{Ref|THK|173}}
[[File:Liana doing tree gliding 2.jpg|thumb|[[Liana]] flying between two trees from The Hidden Kingdom (graphic novel), by Mike Holmes]]
RainWings cannot see as far or as well as [[IceWings]] or [[SkyWings]], but they can see more clearly in the dark.{{Ref|WT|159}} They are not long-distance fliers or accustomed to deprivation, as they usually swing and hop from branch to branch in a rainforest perpetually full of food.{{Ref|DoD|289}}
[[File:Liana doing tree gliding.jpg|thumb|Liana using her tail to loop around a tree from The Hidden Kingdom (graphic novel), by Mike Holmes]]
RainWings fly with a strange grace, using a combination of spiraling up or down and using their tails or spreading their wings to glide between the trees.{{Ref|THK|24}} They call this "tree gliding" and have teachers, such as Jambu, to help dragonets learn how to fly in the densely packed rainforest.{{Ref|THK|43}}


RainWing venom is black. When it hits hard ground, it will, after some time, dry into hard glossy droplets, similar to obsidian. While spitting their venom, RainWings fully open (unhinge) their mouth, much like a snake. According to [[NightWings|Nightwing]] research, the older a dragon, the farther they can shoot. However, RainWings think that it only involves practice.
RainWings have been mentioned to tell the time based on the position of the sun.{{Ref|THK|22}}{{Ref|THK|29}}


== Society ==
== Society ==
RainWings are seen as lazy and unintelligent due to their tendency to lay around in the sun, although the sun's rays have a positive effect on their bodies, making them prettier, smarter, more positive, and even less hungry. They appear to have a carefree society with almost no conflict; there is plenty of food, so they have no reason to fight. The adults don't even bother to watch or count the [[Dragon Eggs|eggs]], as demonstrated when [[Webs]] stole one to become the fifth dragonet of the [[The Prophecy|prophecy]] as a replacement for the SkyWing egg. The RainWings all care for the dragonets together and drop by the hatcheries once every few days to pick up any new dragonets.
RainWings live an idyllic lifestyle, with easy access to food and shelter, and no involvement in conflicts. They like showing off to new visitors and spend each morning trying to be the brightest and most vivid RainWing. They are mostly ignored by other tribes,{{Ref|TDP|274}} and are viewed and stereotyped by the other tribes as ignorant,{{Ref|W1q|9}} lazy, unintelligent, and weak.{{Ref|TDP|32}}{{Ref|WT|25}} [[Snowfall]] described their typical lifestyle as sleeping and eating papayas,{{Ref|TDG|15}} and [[Peril]] stated that RainWings were inoffensive,{{Ref|EP|213}} mellow, calm, friendly, and sleepy all the time.{{Ref|EP|205}} However, Chameleon viewed their society more bitterly, as he believed that the RainWings disliked anyone who was different and could not participate in RainWing activities; he was laughed at,{{Ref|EP|213}} teased, avoided, and whispered about for his inability to change scale colors.{{Ref|EP|206}}
[[File:Pyrrhia_map-1.jpg|thumb|220px|Map of the Rainforest Kingdom]]
RainWings have had several different ways of becoming queen over time. In older times, RainWings fought for the throne like any other tribe, and later, they developed a nonviolent competition, with some of the activities being racing, fruit-gathering, or hiding. Finally, the RainWings decided to take turns being queen. Any female in the Tribe who wished to become queen could for a period of one month. In ''[[The Hidden Kingdom]]'', they say that the dragons with the most sparkly names are most likely to become queen. After Glory became queen via the non-violent competition, this recent tradition appears to have vanished from the RainWing society.


RainWings rarely leave the rainforest. They had no [[Scrolls|scrolls]], could not read, could barely count, and knew very little about the other dragon tribes or of the rest of [[Pyrrhia]] until Queen Glory started a school there. However, it can be assumed that it was not always that way, since a quote from [[Queen Lagoon]] suggests that they were once a militarious tribe and weren't always clueless about what happened outside their kingdom or the other dragon tribes, since they posed a threat to the [[SeaWings]] along with the [[MudWings]] at the time. The RainWings and [[MudWings]] may have been allies at that time since they had a common goal. In ''Darkness of Dragons'', it was revealed that while Winter was away in the Ice Kingdom, Moon and Qibli found a very old scroll written by a RainWing, proving that they could read and write a long time ago. It is unknown why and how they lost this knowledge and that of the other tribes.
RainWings have a unique, peaceful [[Dragon royalty#RainWing Royal Challenge|royal challenge]], in accordance with their pacifistic beliefs. It was started by an [[unnamed characters#RainWings|unnamed queen]] in order to stop their strongest dragons from dying while vying for the throne.{{Ref|AGttDW|73}} The challenge is a contest decided by the current [[queen]]. Before Queen Glory's royal challenge, queens took turns being queen one month at a time,{{Ref|THK|70}} and the position was given to any female dragon who wanted it.{{Ref|THK|53-54}} It is also stated by [[Kinkajou]] that RainWings with shiny names are the ones that are more likely to want to be queen. [[Fruit Bat]] is an exception.{{Ref|THK|252}}


They have crude blowguns, loaded with darts coated in tree-frog poison, in which they call "sleeping-darts". They are used for playing games or when strange dragons wander into the forest. The darts they used seem to immediately render the target dragon unconscious, although sometimes the effect takes a minute or two to set in, as shown with [[Icicle]]. During the attack on the [[Night Kingdom]], Queen Glory had the RainWings use them as weapons for knocking out opponents, as most of the RainWings would have been opposed to using their venom to kill another dragon. They later made an agreement with the [[NightWings]] and allowed them to live in the forest, though (at first) they would not permit [[Mastermind]], a NightWing scientist, to live alongside them.
[[File:RainWing Blowgun.jpeg|thumb|A RainWing blowgun from [[Wings of Fire Island|Scholastic HomeBase]]]] RainWings have blowguns with sleeping darts, coated in tree-frog poison.{{Ref|THK|21}} These darts are used as a form of protection, to knock out strange dragons wandering into the forest, and for games as well.{{Ref|THK|21}}{{Ref|TDS|235}} RainWings use flowers for decoration the way the other tribes used jewels and precious stones.{{Ref|THK|57}} RainWings keep sloths as pets, often when a sloth chooses a dragon by climbing on them during suntime.{{Ref|THK|37}} A dragon may own multiple sloths.{{Ref|THK|264}}


RainWings also keep and take great care of pet sloths. Since the pets from other tribes are usually eaten or lost by mistake, this shows RainWings can be both caring and soft, and further highlighting their peaceful nature. When sloths climb on the back of a sleeping RainWing, that means they have been "chosen" and can then keep that sloth as a loving, loyal pet forever. Even Queen Glory was "chosen" by a sloth which she at first refused to love, but then gave up and named it [[Silver]].
RainWings perform a venom test before having eggs, ensuring that they are not blood relatives.{{Ref|THK|44}} This prevents inbreeding in the tribe, as formal families do not exist.{{Ref|THK|38}} RainWings engage in communal raising of dragonets, with everyone pitching in to help.{{Ref|THK|43}} Dragonets are raised in a wingery and can mimic almost the exact shade of a dragon at less than a year old.{{Ref|WT|73}} They also constantly play games such as hide and seek, which is a favorite.{{Ref|WT|82}} RainWing dragonets are trained to aim their venom, glide through trees without getting snagged by the foliage, gather fruit,{{Ref|THK|60}}{{Ref|THK|43}}{{Ref|THK|58}} and camouflage their scales.{{Ref|WT|73}}


In ''[[Winter Turning]]'', it was revealed that NightWing dragonets play with RainWing dragonets in the hatchery. This might prove useful to the future of those kingdoms. Also in that book, it is shown that older NightWings hate the RainWings; this contrast is probably the result of not being raised among RainWings.
They are not taught to read or write, but some may train as medics, as RainWings have multiple healers in their village. These healers keep their scales calming shades of blue and white.{{Ref|THK|229}} An adult RainWing with no role or assignment will always get the last choice for sun-time spots and only leftovers for food.{{Ref|THK|61}} RainWings have an oral storytelling tradition which was the primary way that stories are told without scrolls. They would gather before or after suntime to share stories that ranged from fragments of history or myths to magical adventures, proving their imagination powerful.{{Ref|AGttDW|80}}


It is hinted that they were once militaristic in ''Darkstalker (Legends)''.
Before Queen Glory's reign, they would not count or track their eggs, only stopping by occasionally to check for newly hatched dragonets.{{Ref|THK|41}} Glory aspired to change this when she became queen so that no more eggs would ever go lost again.{{Ref|THK|235}} They have dragons keeping watch in the rainforest for danger, both RainWings and NightWings.{{Ref|WT|58}}{{Ref|WT|60}} They are also beginning to read and write and attempting to grow a moon globe tree (from the [[Ice Kingdom]]) for light.{{Ref|WT|268–269}}


After Darkstalker leaves, the RainWings begin to sort out families, for many purposes, including venom, as well as more obvious reasons such as plain curiosity.
RainWings do not imprison dragons, instead they banish them.{{Ref|WT|112}}


==='''[[The RainWing Royal Challenge]]'''===
In the time of ''[[Darkstalker (Legends)|Darkstalker]]'', RainWings were a more threatening tribe.{{Ref|L1|4}}{{Ref|ToP|165}} They had merchants selling both fruits and potions to the other tribes.{{Ref|L1|235}}{{Ref|W4q|155}} They could also read and write at some point before the events of the series.{{Ref|DoD|237}} They once had libraries{{Ref|AGttDW|80}} and an assassin training program. During this time, they had skirmishes and wars with the MudWings and SkyWings over territory. RainWing spies resided outside of the rainforest in order to gather information on the weaknesses of other tribes.{{Ref|AGttDW|83}}


The RainWings have developed a custom of challenging their queen for the throne that does not end in death, unlike the other dragon tribes. This method requires the current queen to pick a contest or multiple contests,such as hide and seek, and she and the challenger compete for the throne. The winner becomes queen.
Under the reign of Queen Jacaranda, the RainWings began transitioning over to a peaceful lifestyle, building hammocks and taming sloths.{{Ref|AGttDW|82}} Despite this, the RainWings still challenged and killed each other over the throne, and it was necessary for them to defend the rainforest from other tribes.{{Ref|AGttDW|73}}


== Names ==
== Names ==
For names, RainWings tend to name their dragonets after rainforest animals, such as [[Kinkajou]] or [[Tamarin]], plants, such as [[Jambu]], [[Mangrove]], or [[Orchid]], fruits such as [[Banana]] or [[Coconut]], and adjectives, such as [[Ex-Queen Exquisite|Exquisite]], [[Ex-Queen Dazzling|Dazzling]], [[Queen Glory|Glory]], or [[Ex-Queen Magnificent|Magnificent]].
RainWings may be named after plants and animals found in the rainforest (such as Kinkajou, [[Tamarin]], Jambu, and [[Orchid]]), fruits (such as [[Mango]], [[Pineapple]], and [[Coconut]]), trees (such as [[Mangrove]]), and positive adjectives (such as Exquisite, [[Handsome]], [[Magnificent]] and [[Dazzling]]).


In ''The Hidden Kingdom, ''Kinkajou states that they cycle through a list that they have to name dragonets, and when they finished the list they start over again, revealing that some dragons may have the same names as each other.
RainWings have a list of names that they cycle through; when they reach the end of the list, they return to the beginning, meaning that many RainWings have had the same names throughout history.{{Ref|THK|252}}

* If a dragon is targeted and is hit in the eyes, or the venom enters the bloodstream, the dragon would be killed within minutes, according to [[Mastermind]]. However, if it only hits the scales, the dragon may live but will be left horribly disfigured and scarred, some examples of this being [[Vengeance]] and [[Ex-Queen Scarlet]].

* RainWings cannot change their eye color. Although this is contradicted in the graphic novel, where Glory's eye color changes multiple times, a quote from Tui T. Sutherland proves this.

However, in ''The Hidden Kingdom'', Glory disguises herself as an IceWing and changes her eyes to blue.
* Tui may write a winglet or other book on the history of RainWings.{{Cite}}
* Tui has confirmed that RainWings also have accents different from any other tribe since they have been isolated from most tribes.
* RainWings are described to be the most beautiful Pyrrhian tribe.{{Ref|TLCp}}
* The oldest known dragon (that hasn't been enchanted to live longer) in the series is [[Tapir]], who lived to be about one hundred and ten years old before starving himself to death in captivity of the [[NightWings]].
* RainWings that are deprived of sunlight are grumpier, ruder, and have duller scales, as seen with Glory.
* A RainWing named [[Chameleon]] has a snout deformity, which prevents him from sleeping for more than an hour at a time. Because of this, he can't change the color of his scales, so his scales stay lime-green. It is unknown if any other RainWings have suffered from this.
* When [[Prince Albatross]] and [[Queen Lagoon]] were alive, RainWings were taken seriously, seen when Lagoon says "If we find another animus in the tribe, that would make us twice as powerful, which would be quite useful given how the [[MudWings]] and RainWings have been behaving lately," implying that the RainWings were a threat to [[SeaWings]] around that time. As [[Ex-Queen Grandeur]] stated, "I remember a time when we had to use our camouflage for survival."
* This also implies that RainWings were once aware of the other dragon tribes and had contact with them before the reign of [[Queen Glory]].
* RainWings used to have a royal family, but when Ex-Queen Grandeur did not have any useful heirs, she mixed her [[Dragon Eggs|eggs]] with the tribes', saying that she hoped to find RainWings who were "queens in spirit, if not in blood."
* Chameleon was the first known RainWing that had possessed animus magic, this is because of him temporarily owning [[Darkstalker's Talisman]].
* It is shown in ''[[The Hidden Kingdom]]'' that some RainWings can perfectly imitate bird calls.
* Tui has said that the base RainWing scale color is a lime green like Chameleon's scales.
* RainWings have some knowledge of medicine, as shown in ''The Hidden Kingdom''.
* [[Prince Fathom]] suspected the RainWings of drugging [[Prince Albatross]] to make him go insane, instead of accepting he used his magic excessively.
* RainWings are the first dragon tribe with knowledge of how to make blow darts and blow guns, which was first shown in ''The Hidden Kingdom''.
* RainWings used to sell fruit for "high prices" during the time of ''Darkstalker (Legends)''.
* In ''[[Runaway]]'', RainWings are implied to have once made potions as well. [[Snowflake]] bought a sleeping potion from a RainWing to use on [[Queen Diamond]].
* Most reptiles in the real world also take part in sunning themselves to maintain energy, much like RainWings do.
* Most, if not all RainWings have green eyes. The only known exception is Tamarin, who has pale blue eyes, due to being blind. In the first arc, Kinkajou was described with dark eyes, but in the second arc, she has green eyes.
* Blind RainWings can still camouflage, however, it is unknown if they can specifically change their scales to look fancy.
* RainWing fangs stay in place instead of moving in and out of their gums, making them stick out.
* RainWings cannot see in the dark, proved in ''The Hidden Kingdom'' when Glory and Tsunami tried to catch the dragon that was kidnapping the RainWings. Glory also has a strong aversion to darkness, according to her thoughts when she was imprisoned by the NightWings.
* RainWings possibly have a stronger sense of facial recognition than most dragons. No other tribe can change scale color and thus they can rely on scale color to help identify dragons. RainWings cannot do this, as no dragon stays one color for very long. This implies that either RainWings have more varying facial structures or they have a very good memory for faces. However, both Kinkajou and Queen Glory are noted to have mistaken RainWings' identities. Queen Glory once mistook Bromeliad for Banana, and Kinkajou mistook Bromeliad for Orchid. This could be that Bromeliad has a plainer face than other RainWings.

RainWings, also known as rainforest dragons to humans, are a Pyrrhian dragon tribe that reside in the Rainforest Kingdom, alongside the NightWings. RainWings are usually pacifists and were not involved in the War of SandWing Succession. They are currently ruled by Queen Glory.

Description

RainWing eggs from A Guide to the Dragon World, by Joy Ang

RainWings are based on chameleons.[event 1] They are long and graceful, with ruffs behind their ears, curved horns, and prehensile tails that are used primarily for climbing, swinging in trees, and hanging off branches in the rainforest they inhabit, like birds of paradise. When afraid, insulted, or angry, RainWings flare their ruffs as a sign of aggression or hostility.[1]

RainWings have small, round scales that can change color. Most RainWings prefer vivid, bright colors; however, if they wish, they can camouflage to look like they have disappeared. They can control the color of their scales, though they often have a hard time stopping strong emotions from showing through them. Most RainWings have a 'default' color scheme that they set their scales to when they are not showing emotions. RainWing eyes can change color, and they may not be able to camouflage when they are afraid or in pain.[citation needed] RainWings also cannot camouflage if someone who does not know how to camouflage is mind-controlling them (via the othermind).[2] RainWings are able to blend into their surroundings at will otherwise. Although their eyes shift colors like their scales, RainWings primarily have green, yellow, brown, or blue eyes.[3]

RainWings are able to mimic the realistic appearance of other tribes with their scales.[4] RainWing dragonets develop their color-shifting scales while they are still in their eggs, which are pale, smooth, and white.[5] RainWings have sun-time to make their scales beautiful and improve their mood.[citation needed]

Diet

A mango from The Hidden Kingdom (graphic novel), by Mike Holmes

RainWings are generally vegetarians, but some will eat monkeys and other rainforest animals.[43] Jambu stated that eating sloths could cause indigestion for days due to how much fur they have and suggested not to eat them for that reason. [44] As sloths are a RainWing pet, it is strongly frowned upon to eat them. Some RainWings are quite protective of their sloths and will not let others eat them, as shown with Exquisite. While fruit and various rainforest plants are the main part of their diets, RainWings also eat chocolate.[45] RainWings are known to eat less than the other dragon tribes when they nap in the sun.[46] Glory described it as if the sun gave her more energy than any food could give her, and Jambu states that the sun gives them more than half the energy to survive.[47]

Prior to the reign of Queen Jacaranda, RainWings ate meat such as sloths.[48]

Abilities

RainWings have long, prehensile tails that are great for swinging through the rainforest, as well as long fangs and color-changing scales. Some RainWings are able to mimic certain bird calls.[49]

They are capable of absorbing sunlight, which gives them energy and causes their scales to become brighter. They have a dedicated time to sleep in the sun, known as "suntime", when the sun is at its highest, and RainWings who do not sleep in the sun may have duller or unchangeable scales.[50][51] Sunlight is also vital to the development of other RainWing abilities, such as venom, and to their good mood.[52][20] However, if a RainWing has a certain snout deformity that causes them to be unable to sleep for long periods of time, like Chameleon's, they cannot change color.[51]

RainWing scales change color by bending light.[event 2] When at ease, RainWing scales may reflect their emotions. They can also manipulate their scales to be any color they wish,[53] though strong emotions may break through a chosen scale color.[50] RainWings can also use their scales for camouflage, reflecting their surroundings and making them effectively invisible to most dragons. Other RainWings may be able to spot a disguised dragon. This is a skill they develop at a young age during games of hide-and-seek.[54] RainWings can change the color of their eyes and are able to manipulate a fine level of detail onto their scales.[event 3][55]

RainWings who are born blind always show their emotions on their scales and cannot manually change them. When relaxed, their scales will automatically camouflage to their surroundings,[56] and that ability can be improved with practice.[57]

The effects of RainWing venom on Fjord from The Dragonet Prophecy (graphic novel), by Mike Holmes

RainWings have long front fangs which extend up high towards the target when ready to spit the venom and a jaw that can unhinge to shoot corrosive venom. This venom only affects organic material, such as animals and plants. Inorganic materials, such as rock and metal, are not affected.[58] It can be deadly if it reaches a dragon's bloodstream or eyes.[58] If a dragon survives a venom attack, it will leave warped, scarred scales or skin.[59] RainWing venom is neutralized by contact with the venom of a blood relative.[60] Dragonet venom is shown to be weaker than adult venom,[61] and usually older dragons will be able to shoot venom further. RainWing venom is black and will dry into glossy droplets (reminiscent of obsidian) after some time exposed to air.[62]

RainWings cannot see as far or as well as IceWings or SkyWings, but they can see more clearly in the dark.[63] They are not long-distance fliers or accustomed to deprivation, as they usually swing and hop from branch to branch in a rainforest perpetually full of food.[64]

Liana using her tail to loop around a tree from The Hidden Kingdom (graphic novel), by Mike Holmes

RainWings fly with a strange grace, using a combination of spiraling up or down and using their tails or spreading their wings to glide between the trees.[65] They call this "tree gliding" and have teachers, such as Jambu, to help dragonets learn how to fly in the densely packed rainforest.[60]

RainWings have been mentioned to tell the time based on the position of the sun.[66][50]

Society

RainWings live an idyllic lifestyle, with easy access to food and shelter, and no involvement in conflicts. They like showing off to new visitors and spend each morning trying to be the brightest and most vivid RainWing. They are mostly ignored by other tribes,[67] and are viewed and stereotyped by the other tribes as ignorant,[68] lazy, unintelligent, and weak.[69][70] Snowfall described their typical lifestyle as sleeping and eating papayas,[71] and Peril stated that RainWings were inoffensive,[72] mellow, calm, friendly, and sleepy all the time.[73] However, Chameleon viewed their society more bitterly, as he believed that the RainWings disliked anyone who was different and could not participate in RainWing activities; he was laughed at,[72] teased, avoided, and whispered about for his inability to change scale colors.[74]

RainWings have a unique, peaceful royal challenge, in accordance with their pacifistic beliefs. It was started by an unnamed queen in order to stop their strongest dragons from dying while vying for the throne.[75] The challenge is a contest decided by the current queen. Before Queen Glory's royal challenge, queens took turns being queen one month at a time,[76] and the position was given to any female dragon who wanted it.[77] It is also stated by Kinkajou that RainWings with shiny names are the ones that are more likely to want to be queen. Fruit Bat is an exception.[78]

A RainWing blowgun from Scholastic HomeBase

RainWings have blowguns with sleeping darts, coated in tree-frog poison.[79] These darts are used as a form of protection, to knock out strange dragons wandering into the forest, and for games as well.[79][80] RainWings use flowers for decoration the way the other tribes used jewels and precious stones.[81] RainWings keep sloths as pets, often when a sloth chooses a dragon by climbing on them during suntime.[44] A dragon may own multiple sloths.[82]

RainWings perform a venom test before having eggs, ensuring that they are not blood relatives.[83] This prevents inbreeding in the tribe, as formal families do not exist.[84] RainWings engage in communal raising of dragonets, with everyone pitching in to help.[60] Dragonets are raised in a wingery and can mimic almost the exact shade of a dragon at less than a year old.[85] They also constantly play games such as hide and seek, which is a favorite.[54] RainWing dragonets are trained to aim their venom, glide through trees without getting snagged by the foliage, gather fruit,[86][60][30] and camouflage their scales.[85]

They are not taught to read or write, but some may train as medics, as RainWings have multiple healers in their village. These healers keep their scales calming shades of blue and white.[87] An adult RainWing with no role or assignment will always get the last choice for sun-time spots and only leftovers for food.[88] RainWings have an oral storytelling tradition which was the primary way that stories are told without scrolls. They would gather before or after suntime to share stories that ranged from fragments of history or myths to magical adventures, proving their imagination powerful.[89]

Before Queen Glory's reign, they would not count or track their eggs, only stopping by occasionally to check for newly hatched dragonets.[90] Glory aspired to change this when she became queen so that no more eggs would ever go lost again.[91] They have dragons keeping watch in the rainforest for danger, both RainWings and NightWings.[92][93] They are also beginning to read and write and attempting to grow a moon globe tree (from the Ice Kingdom) for light.[94]

RainWings do not imprison dragons, instead they banish them.[95]

In the time of Darkstalker, RainWings were a more threatening tribe.[96][97] They had merchants selling both fruits and potions to the other tribes.[98][99] They could also read and write at some point before the events of the series.[100] They once had libraries[89] and an assassin training program. During this time, they had skirmishes and wars with the MudWings and SkyWings over territory. RainWing spies resided outside of the rainforest in order to gather information on the weaknesses of other tribes.[101]

Under the reign of Queen Jacaranda, the RainWings began transitioning over to a peaceful lifestyle, building hammocks and taming sloths.[48] Despite this, the RainWings still challenged and killed each other over the throne, and it was necessary for them to defend the rainforest from other tribes.[75]

Names

RainWings may be named after plants and animals found in the rainforest (such as Kinkajou, Tamarin, Jambu, and Orchid), fruits (such as Mango, Pineapple, and Coconut), trees (such as Mangrove), and positive adjectives (such as Exquisite, Handsome, Magnificent and Dazzling).

RainWings have a list of names that they cycle through; when they reach the end of the list, they return to the beginning, meaning that many RainWings have had the same names throughout history.[78]
