BeetleWings
BeetleWings are an extinct tribe that founded Pantala along with the LeafWings. They were eventually bred out of existence due to the arrival of Clearsight, and split into the HiveWings and SilkWings. They were first mentioned in The Poison Jungle.
Description
They were said to look similar to SilkWings, having four wings and antennae. It is presumed that they also had some HiveWing features, considering that they were identifiable as the tribe's ancestors[1].
Abilities
Like their HiveWing descendants, some BeetleWings had insect-like powers. Their ability to shoot venom from their fangs is mentioned in particular, as well as flamesilk[2].
Names
Though there were only five named BeetleWing individuals (four of them being hybrids), all of them were named after species of butterfly.
