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 to whether it is a book or a 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; a paralyzing toxin that can immobilize their prey; or boiling acid sprayed from a stinger on their tails, and in some cases, the ability to emit a disgusting smell.
Queen:
Description:
SilkWings dragonets are born wingless, but go through 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. Some SilkWings develop flamesilk when they go through metamorphosis, which is where their silk is fire.
Abilities:
Can spin silk from glands on their wrists to create webs or other woven articles; can detect vibrations with their antennae to assess threats
Queens:
Queen Wasp (the last SilkWing queen, before the Tree Wars, about fifty years ago, was Queen Monarch)
Description:
Thought to have been wiped out during the Tree Wars with the HiveWings but actually aren’t. This tribe has green and brown scales and wings shaped like leaves.
Abilities:
Can absorb energy from sunlight and are accomplished gardeners; some are 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. It was confirmed in The Poison Jungle (Book) that queen sequoia is still alive, and has a great granddaughter, Queen Hazel.
Trivia:
- The Tribes from Pantala all have much thinner legs and bodies then the dragons on Pyrrhia. This probably means that these types of dragons are lighter in weight and are built for agility.
