| '''"The Dragonets Are Coming"''' is a bar song that is widely known among the [[Dragons|dragons]] of [[Pyrrhia]]. The lyrics retell the [[The Dragonet Prophecy (Prophecy)|prophecy]], explaining that [[dragonets of destiny|five dragonets]] will come and end the [[War of SandWing Succession|war]]. The song has popped up several times in the first arc. You can listen to a cover of it by Gretchen Ratke [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAKobDIBocQ here.]

| [[Webs]] taught the song to the dragonets, which was a mistake in the eyes of [[Dune]] and [[Kestrel]], as [[Princess Tsunami]] sang it to get on their nerves. After [[Morrowseer]] visits the dragonets Tsunami sings the song to get their guardians to release her, only stopping after Kestrel threatens to tie [[Clay]] to a stalactite. Later Clay played this song on the metal wires used in the [[SkyWing]] prison to communicate with [[Peril]] when he hadn't seen her for a while, and needed her to tell him where [[Sunny]] was. He noted that the wires' noises sounded too eerie, unlike the song's joyful tune. The other prisoners joined in, revealing the song's popularity among the tribes and hope in the dragonets, but they were interrupted by [[Princess Burn]] and [[Ex-Queen Scarlet|Queen Scarlet]]. As they were singing, they left out the “hooray” at the end, as Clay did when he played the wires.

| The [[MudWing]] soldiers in the camp sing the "eerie” version of the song, the one sang by the prisoners, after Sunny visited [[Queen Moorhen|Queen Moorhen's]] dream, telling her to cancel off the [[IceWing]] attack as well as to tell Princess Burn to meet in the courtyard of her stronghold to decide the [[SandWing]] [[Dragon Queens|queen]].

| == Trivia ==
| |
| * The song was made as a symbol of the hope and faith of all six (minus the [[RainWings]] and maybe NightWings) dragon tribes wanting the war to end.
| |
| * As of now, the creator of the song is currently unknown.
| |
| * There are only five lines in the song, but the song is sung over and over again endlessly, until you stop.
| |
| * It was revealed by Tui that the song is sung in the same tune as ''"100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall". ''This song goes:<br />''"100 bottles of beer on the wall,<br />100 bottles of beer,<br />Take one down<br />Pass it around<br />Now there's 99 bottles of beer on the wall."''
| |
| **This song repeats, counting down the number of bottles until they reach zero, before the song restarts at one hundred again, although in most cases the song starts with ninety nine instead. A more kid-friendly version of this song replaces beer with milk.
| |
| * The fact that Dune tells Webs to "not teach them that horrible bar song" implies that Webs was once in a bar (or someone who taught Webs the song was once in a bar) which suggests the idea that the dragons of Pyrrhia can actually make and enjoy alcohol.
| |
| ** This is further supported in ''[[Deserter]]'', as one of [[Smolder]]'s brothers mentions handing him another glass of cactus cider, as well as ''[[The Hidden Kingdom (Book)|The Hidden Kingdom]]'' when [[Deathbringer]] offered to take [[Glory]] to a bar and buy her a drink. In ''[[The Hive Queen]]'', [[Katydid]] had found her and gave [[Cricket]] a bubbly drink that tasted like limes and made Cricket sleepy.
