Normal SandWing by Joy Ang
SandWing

SandWings are sand-colored, fire-breathing dragons that inhabit the deserts of Pyrrhia, primarily in the Kingdom of Sand. Originally, they were ruled by Queen Oasis; however, she was murdered by three scavengers who sought after her treasure. Following her death, the tribe split between three heirs for the throne; Blaze, Blister, and Burn. Blaze, the youngest, had the support of most of the SandWing tribe along with an alliance with the IceWings. Blister, the middle sibling, was allied with the SeaWings and secretly with the NightWings, unknown to any of the other tribes, and Burn, the oldest sister, as allied with the SkyWings and MudWings. But no queen allied with the RainWings because dragons thought they were lazy, and their venom was yet still unknown.

After the war ended, Queen Thorn was chosen as the SandWing queen by her daughter, Sunny. Burn and Blister died, while Blaze "bowed to a fate stronger and higher".

Description

SandWings are long-necked, muscular, and anatomically and biologically built to survive in the desert. They have pale yellow, pale golden, light sandy-colored, or off-white scales that blend in with the desert sand, bumpy spines from their head to the tip of their tails, forked black tongues, glittering black eyes, and the ends of their tails are armed with a venomous, scorpion-like barb. They can breathe fire and emit moderate heat from their scales.

Abilities

The two main defenses of the SandWings are their ability to breathe fire and poison other dragons with their venomous tails, which they use by stabbing their enemies' hearts, backs, or skulls.

The venom in a SandWing's barb acts like rattlesnake or scorpion venom. This venom may target blood cells, as Webs' wound, inflicted by Blister, turned black and most likely infected. The venom sack which carries the venom is most likely located right under the barb.

The venom's lethality depends on the dosage. A full dose can kill almost instantly, while a smaller dose kills slowly. Regardless of amount, it can be countered by juice from a specific cactus in the Kingdom of Sand.

They are also able to survive extended periods of time without water and can bury themselves in the desert sand to camouflage themselves. SandWings can withstand serious solar heat, although fire still burns them.

Queens

Queen Oasis once oversaw the Kingdom of Sand, yet none of the heirs challenged her to death. The queen was murdered by three scavengers, and the rest of Pyrrhia erupted in war along with alliances of the three successors. No one had been able to claim the throne for nearly two decades, because whoever held the Eye of Onyx would take the place as the queen. The Eye of Onyx was hidden in Oasis' jaws, buried with her in her grave. Glory described it as "like Queen Oasis was still hanging on to the SandWing throne".

Blister killed Burn with a package of dragonbite vipers and challenged Blaze to the throne, but she exploded into a pile of black ash when she ripped the enchanted Eye of Onyx away from Thorn, who Sunny declared as queen. Blaze survived, but not as a queen, and as the prophecy says: "Of two sisters who blister and blaze and burn, two shall die and one shall learn - If she bows to a fate stronger and higher, she'll have the power of the wings of fire." Blaze now needs to accept her new queen. Blister had planned to kill queen Oasis with the three scavengers, so Blister technically stated the war.
