SeaWings

SeaWings are dragons ruled by Queen Coral, and live underwater in the Kingdom of the Sea. The SeaWings were allied with Blister in the Great War, however it has been said in the epilogue of The Dark Secret that Blister could not locate her SeaWing allies after the attack of Burn's alliances on the Summer Palace for they had gone to the still unlocated Deep Palace.

Description

SeaWings' scales can be dark blue, dark green, grey-green, pea-green, aquamarine, turquoise, emerald green, blue-green, sky-blue, and pale blue with hints of light pink (considering that only Anemone was pink, the coloring may be an indication that the dragon is an animus). They have webbed talons and long, powerful tails, which make them excellent swimmers and can be used defensively. They also have gills on their necks that allow them to breathe underwater. SeaWings are just as much at home in the water as they are on land or in the air. Unlike other dragon tribes, SeaWings cannot exhale or spit any substance that can be used as a weapon.

These dragons also have glow-in-the-dark stripes located on their tails, snouts, underbellies, sides, and the undersides of their wings that are used to attract other SeaWings when choosing their mates. Members of the Royal Family, such as Tsunami, Anemone, Orca, and Queen Coral, have special spiral markings as well as starbursts on the underside of their wings (although they are not shown on the cover of The Lost Heir). Non-royal members of the tribe have only starbursts on their wings. The markings are also necessary for underwater communication in a SeaWing language called Aquatic. Young SeaWings are taught this language in school.

The Royal Family

The royal family of the SeaWings has had a violent and tragic history marked with much strife and bloodshed. It is headed by the current queen, Queen Coral. She and her deceased husband, Gill, had multiple eggs. Almost all the female eggs were mysteriously destroyed, and it was later discovered that Orca, who had hidden animus powers, had enchanted a statue in the Royal Hatchery to destroy all of the female eggs in secret so that she wouldn't have any competition for the throne if she had won the challenge for the throne. Tsunami battled the statue trying to protect Queen Coral's last female egg that held Auklet, in The Lost Heir. By the end of the book, the egg had hatched. Currently there are three male SeaWing eggs that are unhatched in the Royal Hatchery. Animus dragons also seem to run in the royal family, such as Albatross, Orca, and Anemone.

Abilities

SeaWings can breathe underwater, with their gills, and are excellent swimmers. Their glow-in-the-dark stripes are not usually used for vision purposes as the SeaWing tribe is the only tribe known to be able to see in the dark. The stripes are primarily used to speak Aquatic, the underwater language of SeaWings, and to attract mates at an older age. SeaWings can be driven insane by a deprivation of water. This torture method was used by Queen Scarlet to punish Gill in the SkyWing Arena. SeaWings also have long, powerful tails, which can be used as dangerous weapons, creating huge splashes, and swimming. No creature can surpass their speed through water.
