SeaWings are water dragons with gills who are currently ruled by Queen Coral. They live underwater in the Kingdom of the Sea. The SeaWings were allied with Blister in the great war of the Sandwing Succession. However, she could not locate her allies after the attack and destruction of the Summer Palace, because the SeaWings had fled to the inaccessible Deep Palace, located in a trench underwater. Their alliance broke after the Summer Palace was attacked and destroyed by the SkyWings with the help of Crocodile the MudWing; a double agent who had and infiltrated The Talons of Peace and followed Webs to locate the Summer Palace.

Description

SeaWings commonly range from a scale color of blues and greens, although the royal SeaWing Princess Anemone is pale blue with hints of light pink like the inside of a seashell. Considering that only Anemone was confirmed to be pink, the coloring may be an indication that she is an animus SeaWing. The SeaWings have webbed talons with hook-shaped claws. They also have long, powerful tails, which make them excellent swimmers, and can be used for defense. They also have gills on their necks that allow them to breathe underwater, and a ruff on their spine that starts from their snouts, runs in between their horns, and down their spine, all the way to their tail. They also have this ruff underneath their neck. Seawing royalty have much more prominent spiral and starburst glow patterns on their wings. SeaWings have aquatic-themed names like Nautilus, Anemone, Orca, and Shark. Some SeaWings, such as Nautilus, have black patterns.

SeaWings also have glow-in-the-dark stripes located on their tails, snouts, arms and legs, underbellies, sides, and the undersides (all appendages) of their wings, which are used to attract other SeaWings when choosing their mates, or during aquatic conversation, which is the only way to communicate underwater. Members of the royal family, such as Tsunami, Anemone, Orca, Auklet and Queen Coral, have spiral markings as well as starbursts on the underside of their wings, although they are shown as glow stripes on the wing arms and a starburst on each knee on the cover of The Lost Heir. Non-royal members of the tribe are described to have only starbursts on their wings. SeaWings are able to control when the stripes on their bodies glow. All SeaWings have brilliant eyes that can see in extremely dark surroundings. But if it's too dark, they only see black and white.

The Royal Family

The SeaWing Royal Family 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, King Gill, who was sadly killed by Tsunami in the arena of Queen Scarlet, had multiple eggs, but most all the female eggs were mysteriously destroyed after Orca's death, with the exception of Tsunami's, whose egg was taken by Webs after drugging the guards; while Anenome's egg was watched over by Queen Coral herself, and Auklet, whom Tsunami protected from the statue Orca enchanted.

It was later discovered that Orca, who had hidden her animus powers and had enchanted a statue in the Royal Hatchery to destroy all of the female eggs in secret so that Orca wouldn't have any competition for the throne. Tsunami battled the statue to protect Queen Coral's last female egg, the one that held Auklet in The Lost Heir. 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, Princess Orca, Turtle, Prince Fathom, and Anemone. Auklet may have animus powers. Queen Coral also said they have had an animus in a few generations, stating about Anemone.

A male royal hatchling, Turtle, appears in Moon Rising. It is also said in Moon Rising that Tsunami has thirty-two brothers. But their mother, Queen Coral, doesn't care about the males, which is the reason she never knew about Turtle being an animus.

Abilities

SeaWings can breathe underwater with their gills, see in the dark, and are excellent swimmers. SeaWings also have long, thick, powerful tails, which can be used as dangerous weapons, creating huge splashes and waves, and for swimming. No creature can surpass their speed through water. They like to use currents to increase their speed when traveling underwater and having webbed talons to help swim underwater faster as well.

Their glow-in-the-dark stripes are not usually used for vision purposes, as the SeaWings are the only tribe known to be able to see in pitch dark surroundings. The stripes are located on the tail, neck, wings, legs, head, and underbelly. The members of the royal family have a spiral pattern under their wings. The stripes are primarily used to speak Aquatic, the underwater language of SeaWings, and to attract mates at an older age. However, they have also been used as signals above the water.

SeaWings can be driven insane by a deprivation of water, their main resource. This torture method was used by Queen Scarlet to punish Gill in the SkyWing Arena in a battle with Tsunami in The Dragonet Prophecy. They lose all sense, and will do anything to get water, even if it means drinking their own blood.

SeaWings are one of two tribes to have Animus Dragons (the others being NightWings) but this gift is currently only seen in the Royal Family.

Animus History

Animus Magic is found in the Royal SeaWing lineage.

Known Animus SeaWings

  • Prince Albatross
  • Prince Fathom
  • Princess Orca
  • Princess Anemone
  • Prince Turtle

Known Animus Touched Objects Enchanted By SeaWings

  • Island enchanted to grow into the Summer Palace. (Prince Albatross)
  • Cuff enchanted to put Darkstalker into an eternal sleep. (Prince Fathom)
  • Statue enchanted to kill off the royal SeaWing heirs. (Princess Orca)
  • Spear enchanted to find Tsunami's attacker. (Princess Anemone)
  • Pearl Necklace enchanted to avoid Whirlpool. (Princess Anemone)
  • River stone enchanted to heal wounds (Prince Turtle)

Known History

Albatross was the first remembered SeaWing animus mentioned in the book. After he enchanted the Summer Palace to grow, he turned insane and killed nine dragons including the current Queen.

Queen Pearl ascended to the throne peacefully and created a law that stated that animus magic could not be used in the SeaWing kingdom. Her brother, Prince Fathom, obeyed this rule for as long as possible. Sadly, he had to use his powers once to stop a young NightWing animus named Darkstalker who was overusing his powers.

Later on, Queen Coral had a dragonet whom she named Princess Orca. At age seven (in dragon years), Orca challenged her mother to the throne. Unfortunately, she lost (by being accidentally impaled by a narwhal horn on the end of Queen Coral's tail). Before she died, she'd told her mom that she would reign forever. This was because, before she challenged her, she had carved a statue of herself and enchanted it. The enchantment made the statue come alive every time the royal hatchery's doors were closed and the only things inside were the eggs. Then, it would destroy all the female eggs it possibly could. Orca probably wanted to kill off her own sisters so she could be queen as long as possible.

Queen Coral had another female dragonet, only because she'd stayed with the egg the entire time in the hatchery. Her name was Princess Anemone- and soon, they learned that she was animus. Ever since, Queen Coral's favorite tutor, Whirlpool, has attempted to give her lessons. But the young Princess made mistakes on purpose, and she frequently liked to annoy her teacher. Princess Blister (Coral's ally in the war of SandWing succession) intended to use Anemone's powers to win the war. When Tsunami arrived, she had been attacked by a suspicious mystery dragon. Anemone (being Tsunami's sister) enchanted a spear to locate and retrieve the culprit- who turned out to be Whirlpool himself. Anemone accidentally killed Whirlpool after he explained everything to them (including his plot to marry one of the SeaWing princesses to become King) by knocking him into a pool of electric eels.

Known SeaWings

Trivia

  • SeaWings are the only tribe not to have a breath and/or mouth weapon.
  • SeaWings have their own underwater language by complicating with their talons and glowing/flashing their stripes underwater which they call Aquatic.
    • Tsunami did not know the underwater language, and Queen Coral said it can take up to five years to master.
