enlarged to show texture

some Various Notes about each of them: - MudWings have the toughest scales out of all the tribes; they also have dorsal nostrils on top of their heads and flexible ears, allowing them the ability to breathe and listen for danger while almost completely submerged in mud - SeaWings have the softest scales, but the max brightness of their bioluminescent spots can momentarily blind a dragon (and cause a nasty headache), so other tribes try not to get too close when in combat - SkyWings can have multiple horns, though it's not uncommon for a SkyWing to only have one pair; their feathers are specifically designed to repel heat to a great degree, making them almost completely fireproof--- though, they can burn if a phoenix (what they call firescales) touches them - RainWings often have eyespots on various parts of their bodies, often to deter and confuse attacking animals (though, when they're not in danger, many probably think it looks sick---which they're right about---and keep them on) - NightWings have scutes that they shed annually (it's very itchy and bothersome, but it's made up for by the fact that NightWings have the second toughest scales out of all the tribes because of this shedding). However, these scales are covered in an extremely fine velvet, making their movements completely silent (including flight, but only with great practice and precision) - SandWings have the biggest ears out of all the tribes (aside from NightWings), which they use to expel heat from their bodies to keep cool, same for the sail along their heads and spines; they also have a hood on their necks that flare when they feel threatened to seem bigger (as they are the second smallest tribe, so they gotta take what they can get) -IceWings, as I think I've mentioned before, use the spines on their necks and shoulders to communicate with one another, similarly to tenrecs; they're also covered in a dense fur to keep warm, and their sharp spines are just specialized fur, hardened and thickened as for the Pantalan tribes, i dont know how i'll use them in my rewrite, but i think they're cool concepts, and i wanted to explore them a little bit more - HiveWings have a tough, segmented "shell", which is actually just scales fused together for optimal defense; they also have antenna right above their earholes to better sense vibrations and frequency - SilkWings, like HiveWings, also have antenna, but one set is used for sensing pheromones while the other is for vibrations; they have long, soft fur on their necks. why? dont ask me that, that's not my business. - for LeafWings, i took inspiration from leafy sea dragons for the design, meaning that they're absolutely covered in leafy camouflage; just like in canon, they can photosynthesize, but their leafspeak comes from the fact that the "plants" on their bodies (which is actually just specialized antennae) can read and respond to the frequency of other plants, which can stimulate growth and other behaviors

I have a headcanon that hivewings are naturally more bigger than silkwings, so...
