A Guide to the Dragons of Pantala
A Guide to the Dragons of Pantala is present at the beginning of The Lost Continent. There is no definitive evidence of if it is a book or scroll. The dragon drawings are illustrated by Joy Ang.
Description:
red, yellow, and/or orange, but always mixed with some black scales; four wings
Abilities:
vary from dragon to dragon; examples include deadly stingers that can extend from their wrists to stab their enemies; venom in their teeth or claws; or a paralyzing toxin that can immobilize their prey; others can spray boiling acid from a stinger on their tails
Queen:
Queen Wasp
Description:
SilkWings dragonets are born wingless, but go through a metamorphosis at age six, when they develop four huge wings and silk-spinning abilities; as beautiful and gentle as butterflies, with scales in any color under the sun, except black
Abilities:
can spin silk from glands on their wrists to create webs or other woven articles; they can detect vibrations with their antennae to assess threats
Queens:
Queen Wasp (the last known SilkWing Queen before the Tree Wars was Queen Monarch )
Description:
wiped out during the Tree Wars with the HiveWings but while they lived, this tribe had green and brown scales and wings shaped like leaves
Abilities:
could absorb energy from sunlight and were accomplished gardeners; some were rumored to have unusual control over plants.
Queen:
last known queen of the LeafWings was Queen Sequoia, about fifty years ago, at the time of the Tree Wars
Trivia:
- The tribes from Pantala all have much thinner legs and bodies than the dragons on Pyrrhia. This probably means that these types of dragons are lighter in weight and are built for agility.
- It is not known which tribe made this guide, but, presuming that HiveWings are the dominant tribe, it is likely this is a guide for HiveWings.
- SilkWings and HiveWings share a common ancestor, the BeetleWings. However, Tui has confirmed that they are extinct.
