#lakewing

Here's a phylogenetic diagram including some of my headcanons regarding the evolution of the tribes. Also threw in a bunch of my own fan tribes because why not. (Now that I'm looking at it, this could probably be connected to an au)

Some random related notes:

I came up with this tribe about a year and a half ago? But anyways, Lakewings!

They lived long before the Scorching, when humans still lived on earth (assuming pyrrhia is on earth). These dragons lived in deep lakes and rivers. They stayed hidden for as long as they could, but one was spotted one time on the western side of Scotland, and became known as “Nessie” to the humans. They are the ancestors of Seawings, after they evacuated to the oceans when the scorching began. They evolved to thrive in oceanic waters.

Physical stuff:

Eyes: They have night vision, but it is even stronger than the Seawings’. They live in some of the deepest parts of lakes/rivers, and only return to the surface at night. 

Body structure: They have very long bodies, reaching up to the length of a full grown Mudwing. Their tails make up most of it, however. They are powerful for swimming in shallow and deep waters. Their legs are long and thick, which make it easier to grab certain unsuspecting prey out of holes in the ground. Their necks are average length, about the size of a Sandwing’s. They have long, streamlined snouts making it easier to swim faster. Here’s the catch: They don’t have wings. They are meant to swim and stay in the water. 

That’s all I’ve got for them right now, so I might send you more when I can.
