SilkWings are the first confirmed dragon tribe (out of three, according to Tui) that live on Pantala. The dragon that appears on the cover of The Lost Continent is one of these.[1]
Description
As shown on the cover, SilkWings have two pairs of wings, one pair smaller than the other, with membranes that have rounded edges. While Pyrrhian dragons have bat-like wings, SilkWings have more insectoid wings, with rounded edges, and can be compared to butterfly wings in design and shape. The bigger pair of wings appear to have either four or five digits that the membrane is stretched between. The smaller pair of wings attach behind the larger pair, in the armpit area, and have two or three digits. SilkWings appear to have plated scales, and have small spines running down their back, to the tip of their tail. Their scales appear to be somewhat iridescent, similar to NightWing scales. They have long and slim bodies, similar to RainWings. Their horns are curved, almost RainWing in shape, but much thinner. A second pair of even thinner horns (or antennae) is situated upon the brow, just above the eyes. The ridge above their eyes runs over their horns, giving it a plated appearance. So far, they only appear to have amber/yellow eyes.
It appears SilkWings can be different colors, including turquoise, blue, black, differing shades of green, red, oil, and yellow. The wing membranes appear to be different colors too, as well as certain segments between the digits being a different color than the rest of the wing. The wings seem to resemble certain species of butterfly, as the main dragon on the cover's wings look like a blue morph butterfly.
