| '''''A NightWing Guide to the Dragons of Pyrrhia''''', written by the [[NightWings]], is present at the beginning of every book and is a [[Scrolls|scroll]] available to [[Pyrrhia]].
| |
| | |
| The guide incorrectly stated that [[Queen Dazzling|Dazzling]] was the current queen of the RainWings, that the tribe had no natural weapons, and gave no mention about the animus magic in the royal family of the SeaWings, most likely because the NightWings either did not possess the knowledge or did not want to share it.
| |
| | |
| This description is updated according to the plot of the series, and therefore different from the actual guide.

| |
| *Sunny's condition is different from the rest of the SandWings; she has scales of a tawny gold, moss green eyes, and a harmless tail, due to her being half NightWing.
| |
| *MudWings hatched from blood red eggs are resistant to extreme heat.
| |
| *"Fire-born" SkyWings would have copper colored scales with veins of gold and blue eyes, while their twin would result without fire.
| |
| *[[Animus Dragons|Animus]] dragons have power over physical objects; although they might exist in any tribe, only the SeaWings, SandWings and NightWings have been confirmed to include animuses.
