Revision as of 10:29, 17 January 2017
A NightWing Guide to the Dragons of Pyrrhia is present at the beginning of every Wings of Fire book and is a scroll available to any dragon in Pyrrhia. Its drawings are illustrated by Joy Ang.
Before being updated by Starflight, the guide incorrectly stated that Dazzling was the current queen of the RainWings; that the tribe had no natural weapons, that all of the NightWings have telepathy and precognition, and gave no mention about the animus magic in the royal family of the SeaWings, most likely because the NightWings either did not possess the knowledge or did not want to share it. In Moon Rising, the guide is edited by Starflight, adding details such as the RainWing's venom and the NightWing's lack of their supposed powers.
This description is updated according to the plot of the series, and therefore is slightly different from the actual guide.
In Darkstalker, the guide showed the same information only updated to the time of the start of the book and also showed the animuses of each tribe.

- Sunny's condition is different from the rest of the SandWings; she has scales of a tawny, vibrantly warm gold, gray-green moss-colored eyes, and a harmless tail, (due to her being a hybrid: half NightWing on her father's side).
- Whiteout's condition is also different from her tribe, the NightWings; she has black scales with hints of sapphire blue and bluish-white wings due to being an IceWing-NightWing hybrid.
- MudWings hatched from blood red eggs are resistant to extreme heat. (Ex. Clay)
- "Firescales" SkyWings would have burning hot scales, while their twin would be without fire as a result. (Ex. Peril)
- Animus dragons have power over physical objects; although they might exist in other tribes, only the SeaWings, NightWings, and IceWings have been confirmed to include animus dragons. (Examples: Anemone, Orca, Turtle, Fathom,Prince Albatross, Stonemover, Queen Diamond,Darkstalker , Prince Arctic)
