BeetleWings, along with the LeafWings, were the first settlers of Pantala. They were eventually bred out of existence after the arrival of Clearsight, splitting them into the HiveWings and SilkWings around 4,500 AS. They first appeared unnamed in The Lost Continent and were formally mentioned in The Poison Jungle.
Description
BeetleWings were described to have four wings like butterflies, beetles, or dragonflies. All known BeetleWings had bright colors, similar to SilkWings. Only two pure blooded BeetleWings have been mentioned in the series so far: Sunstreak and a small unnamed lavender BeetleWing dragonet Clearsight saw in a vision. When hatched, BeetleWings grow up without wings for a few years, then get them later, very similar to SilkWings.[1]
Abilities
Like their HiveWing descendants, some BeetleWings had insect-like powers. They were rumored to have antennae and an ability to shoot venom from their fangs, much like RainWings.[2] In Sequoia's retelling of the Legend of the Hive, it was mentioned that they used flamesilk to burn bees out of the sky.[3]
