MudWings are strong, usually bulky dragons, that inhabit the Mud Kingdom around the Diamond Spray Delta and the marshes. They love the mud, hence the name. They are currently ruled by Queen Moorhen and allied with Burn and the SkyWings in the Great War. They look and act somewhat like alligators.

Description
MudWings have thick, brown, armor-like scales with undersides sometimes the color of amber and gold. Their nostrils are located on the top of the snout on a large, flat head so that they can lay submerged in mud for longer periods of time. Their eyes are brown, or amber with sometimes yellow rings around their pupils. They have a strong, sturdy, muscular body built for power.
Abilities
If warm enough, MudWings will be able to breathe fire. They are most comfortable in muddy or swampy areas, and can blend into these areas quite well. The mud has a regenerative effect on them, allowing them to heal more quickly. In addition, they can hold their breath for up to an hour.
MudWings hatched from blood-red eggs are immune to most of the effects of heat and fire.They can withstand massive amounts of heat with little or no ill effects. Clay demonstrates this when he fights Peril , who can kill a dragon with her touch, in the first book, The Dragonet Prophecy. If they do get burned, they heal themselves within a day or a few hours in the mud. Most MudWings are also very muscular and strong.
Social Structure
MudWings lay their eggs in well-protected mud nests. The nest consists of warm mud surrounded by walls of hot rocks, in a way similar to real world Crocodilians. The mother rarely checks on the eggs, and the first to hatch out is always the largest. This bigwings tries to break open the eggs, helping the others out of their eggs and eventually becomes the leader of a group of siblings.
Siblings grow up together, learning to hunt and survive. These groups are often called "sibs". During wars, the army of MudWings is made up of troops that are formed by these sibling groups, which allows them to fight very effectively as one unit. If enough siblings are lost in battle, the other members of the troop will look for other dragons (unsibs) to form a new group with. The groups live together in dome-like mud structures in the swamp.
Pairings are not formal, with a breeding night once a month. Males have no part in caring for their offspring, and neither do the mothers. Often nobody would even know who the father was, leaving the bigwings to take care of the group.
MudWings aren't shown to care much about extra dragons, which is shown when Clay finds his mother, Cattail, sold him for two or more cows.
Poorer MudWings usually live on the outskirts of MudWing territory, near the Diamond Spray Delta, while wealthier MudWings will live closer to the center of the kingdom (the marshes).\
