SeaWings are dragons that live underwater in the Kingdom of the Sea. They are ruled by Queen Coral. The SeaWings are allied with Blister in the Great War.

Description

The color of their scales ranges from blue to green to pea-green to aquamarine to bluish white, sometimes with hints of pink. They have webs in between their claws and flattened, powerful tails similar to crocodiles that make them excellent swimmers. They also possess gills on their necks that allow them to breathe underwater. SeaWings are just as much at home in the water as on land or in the air.

They also have glow-in-the-dark stripes located on their tails, snouts, and underbellies that are used to attract other SeaWings when they choose their mates, and also for underwater communication in a language called Aquatic. Young SeaWings are taught the language in school. Members of the Royal Family, such as Tsunami, possess special spiral markings on the underside of their wings.

The Royal Family

The royal family of the SeaWings has a violent and tragic history marked with much inner strife and bloodshed. It is headed by the current queen, Queen Coral. She and her husband, the now-deceased Gill, had multiple eggs, but all the female eggs were mysteriously destroyed except for the one that was stolen (by Webs) that held Tsunami, and the one the SeaWing queen guarded, Anemone. Orca (the eldest daughter) was killed when she was younger and foolishly challenged her mother for the throne. It was later discovered that Orca, an animus, had enchanted a statue in the Royal Hatchery to destroy all of the female eggs so that Orca wouldn't have any competition for the throne. By the end of the second book, one female egg had hatched, named Auklet, and three as yet unhatched eggs that all contain males.

AbIlities

All SeaWings can breathe underwater and are excellent swimmers. They see well in the dark and can use their glow in the dark stripes they use to attract mates when older, but the rest of the time they use it to signal each other in Aquatic. They also have large, powerful tails with which they can create huge waves by splashing the water. They cannot breathe fire, and can't go extended periods of time without water, which enemies use to their advantage. Some SeaWings are Animus Dragons (ex. Anemone) and can animate objects. However, using these powers consumes some of your soul. Too much can make you either evil or insane (ex. Albatross).
