LeafWings
LeafWings were one of the three tribes (alongside SilkWings and HiveWings) that inhabited the continent of Pantala before they nearly became extinct during the Tree Wars with the HiveWings. They are most often named after types of trees.[1] They had green and brown scales, and wings shaped like leaves. LeafWings are able to absorb sunlight, and most were accomplished gardeners.
They nearly became extinct after they were defeated in a war with the HiveWings after refusing their rule, with Sundew, Belladonna, and Hemlock being the last known living LeafWings.
In The Lost Continent, LeafWings are thought to be extinct, with propaganda posters painting them as the enemy. In fact, they are so antagonized that all trees have been removed from the areas of Pantala that the Hive controls, as LeafWings live in trees.
Description
LeafWings have green and brown scales on their body, along with leaf-like patterns. They appear to have webbed spines, along their neck and back, similar to a SeaWings'. The webbing along their back splits into individual pieces near the base of the tail, which are shaped like leaves. Their snout is slightly curved, similar to a SkyWing's, with a raised ridge on the tip of their snout. Some think they might somehow be related. They also had a flat tail, ending in a leaf shape. Their wings are also leaf-like, and slightly transparent, with leaf veins in the webbing and their wings in the form of branches, complementing their name. The edges of their wings are rounded, giving it a very leaf-like look. Their horns appear to be skinny and flat ended, almost like leaves. The scales atop their eyes go over the top of their horns, giving it a partially plated look. Their scales are uneven, vaguely resembling chloroplasts and plant cells. They have a plated underbelly, and a slender body shape. Their legs seem to be slightly short and thin. Most LeafWings seem to be named after various types of trees, flowers, and other flora.
Abilities
LeafWings were able to absorb sunlight, in a process called photosynthesis, like RainWings do. They are said to have been accomplished gardeners, and it is rumored some had unusual control over plants.
Names
LeafWings are named after different trees, plants and shrubs that make up forests and woods.

Trivia
- LeafWings are the only Pantalan tribe to have one pair of wings.
- A few years before the Lost Continent Book was announced, rumors went around that there was a "GrassWings" tribe on the second continent. Perhaps this rumor had been partially true with the introduction of LeafWings.
- Scholastic posted pictures of the Pantalan Tribes in color. If all 3 are compared to each other, LeafWings appear to be the smallest Pantalan Tribe
