DazzleWings



DazzleWings



Description

DazzleWings have a lovely, light, and exquisite frame, with bones hollow as bird’s to configure with their smaller, feathery wings. The wings curve up and out of their wing sprouts, getting naturally larger with each feather. Their wings never stop growing, but they do gradually get slower in growth rates. At the end of each feather, a circle shows itself, usually bright and warm.

A lot of obvious, rounded overlapping scales jewel their necks, eventually rounding out into scattered scales that take the elegant shape of a circle. They follow through to the very tip of the tail, though smaller then near the rib cage. These dazzling beauties have a small feather at the tip with the large spot on it as the wings do. Starting near the beginning of the overlapping circle scales, triangular, SandWing-like scales take over their underside, and begin to fade away, shrinking smaller and smaller until they come to a stop. This was probably adapted eventually when in a time of war, their scales forming a defence against those who sought for an underbelly to claw.

Their snouts are regal and sharp at the same time, taking either a straight, sharp jawline or a more rounded, regal jawline. Their jaws assert how good each sense will be. Small, tooth-like spike patterns line up, shrinking as they go until they get close to the eyes. Behind the eyes lie tiny freckles that start the overlapping neck scales. Their horns are those of a blackbuck, twisting and curving downwards, starting thin and ending even thinner. Tight spirals twist around them, gently and gorgeous.

Coloration

DazzleWings can be any colour under the sun, with no shades except white or very light grey. Females are more commonly made up of mostly cool colours, while males have brighter, more noticeable colours, most likely for mating in the times just before The Scalding(my version of The Scorching, when my dragon tribes were born.)

Their horns are the colours of a blackbuck’, starting as a lighter shade of brown and eventually wandering out into immensely dark brown.

The wings are usually ombré, swimming like an ocean of colours, sun-dappled as though under the sea. They most likely have a yellow-orange spot at each wing tip, growing and shrinking in size relying on how big the feather is.

Females

Females tend to have more dominantly cool colours, like mostly mixtures of teal, purple, and darker blues. They can still have dominantly warm colours or lighter shades of blue and green, it is just less likely to occur. Their figures are slimmer and they have smaller wings then males.

Males

Males have dominantly cool colours, including fiery reds and blazing oranges and some have odd mixtures of complementary colours or very pale yellows. They can still have cool colours though. As for figure, stronger builds and larger, more dramatic wings, horns and such are very common.

General Behavior

Natural adaptations

Light Weight

The DazzleWings’ light weight allows for swift flight, inevitable stealth, and acute balance in the trees. They have become quite adamant tree-climbers, using their retractable thumbs and expert balance to their advantage.

Tough Underbelly

Their underside, as mentioned earlier, has adapted rows of impenetrable, SandWing-like scales that form as an armour.

Retractable Thumbs

Speed

These dragons, being incredibly flashy, rely on their brilliant speed when hunting and fighting to overcome their prey and opponents. They can still be stealthy at night, mostly, but after they’re spotted, it becomes a race. Since they aren’t incredibly strong, the DazzleWings also rely on strength numbers, attacking and catching their food in groups of three to ten.
