Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis is the process SilkWings go through in order to grow their wings, as they are born without them. You start your Metamorphosis when you are 6 years old, and the process takes 5 days. When you complete your Metamorphosis, you will be able to spin silk from the glands on your wrists. Once a dragon has their wings, they would be assigned a partner and given another cell to live in. It was introduced in the book The Lost Continent. 

You know your Metamorphosis is starting soon when your silk glands start to itch, and your wingbuds (the places on your back where the wings are going to grow out of) start to ache. When it begins, the silk will spiral out of the glands and start wrapping around the dragon. Another thing that could happen during your Metamorphosis is the possibility of being a flamesilk. If you are a flamesilk, one of the silks’ you can produce is a silk that is basically fire, but silk. Your cocoon that you are wrapped in is made of this fire type. It is usually a genetic trait.

Notable Changes

In The Lost Continent, Luna starts her Metamorphosis in the Cocoon in Cicada Hive, which is where SilkWings start their Metamorphosis. Luna turns out to be a flamesilk, and is moved to the Flamesilk Cavern, where she wakes up with Blue. After they escape, Blue, Luna, Cricket, and Sundew head to a cave where Blue can start his Metamorphosis. He starts his Metamorphosis and turns out to be a flamesilk. In The Hive Queen, Blue wakes up in the cave where he began, and his adventures continue on from there.
