MudWings are strong, bulky dragons that inhabit the Mud Kingdom around the Diamond Spray Delta and the marshes. They love the mud, hence their name. They are currently ruled by Queen Moorhen and are allied with Burn and the SkyWings in the Great War.

Description
MudWings have thick, brown, armor-like scales, usually with amber or gold undersides. Their nostrils are located on the top of the snout on a large, flat head so that they can lay submerged in mud for longer periods of time. Their eyes are brown or amber as well, sometimes with yellow rings around the pupils. They have strong, sturdy, muscular bodies built for power and strength.
Abilities
If warm enough, MudWings will be able to breathe fire. They are most comfortable in muddy or swampy areas, and can blend into these areas quite well. The mud has a regenerative effect on them, allowing them to heal more quickly. In addition, they can hold their breath for up to an hour.
MudWings that hatch from blood-red eggs, which hatch every few years or so, are immune to most of the effects of heat and fire. They can withstand massive amounts of heat with little or no ill effects. Clay demonstrates this when he fights Peril, who can incinerate a dragon with her touch, in the first book, The Dragonet Prophecy. If they do get burned, they heal themselves within a day or a few hours in the mud.
Social Structure
MudWings lay their eggs in well-protected mud nests. These nests consists of warm mud surrounded by walls of hot rocks, in a way similar to real-world Crocodilians. The mother rarely checks on the eggs, and the first to hatch out is always the largest, and is known as the bigwings. This bigwings tries to break open the eggs, helping the others out of their eggs, and they eventually become the leader of a group of siblings.
Siblings grow up together, learning to hunt and survive. These groups are often called "sibs". During wars, the army of MudWings is made up of troops that are formed by these sibling groups, which allows them to fight very effectively as one unit. If enough siblings are lost in battle, the other members of the troop will look for other dragons (unsibs) to form a new group with.
Pairings are not formal, with a breeding night once a month. Parents do not raise their kids. Males have no part in caring for their offspring, and neither do the mothers. Often nobody would even know who the father was. MudWings aren't shown to care much about their dragonets, which is shown when Clay finds out that his mother, Cattail, sold him for a couple of cows.
less wealthier MudWings usually live on the outskirts of MudWing territory, near the Diamond Spray Delta, while wealthier MudWings will live closer to the center of the kingdom.
