The Flames of Hope (Wings of Fire #15‪)‬

Name: SnakeWings

Royalty: Queen Diamondback and King Cobra, Princess Python, 2 unhatched eggs

Abilities: They can unhinge their jaw to swallow prey over twice their size. They have long sharp fangs that contain venom. They have full control of how much venom they release when biting, they can also choose to not release venom at all. Depending on the amount of venom, the venom either completely paralyzes the victim in a matter of seconds, or the venom stops their heart and kills them. They have the same venom in their claws. The only antidote to the venom is a very specific anti-venom. To heal the victim you need to extract the venom of the dragon that bit them or a close relative of the biter. The anti-venom will not work if the venom is that of a distant relative. The venom needs to be mixed in with other substances to be used as a cure. If a SnakeWing bites their distant relative with venom it will have an effect but it won’t be as strong than if they bit someone unrelated. If they bite a close relative it has no effect at all. They can use their forked tongues to pick up scents in the air. They have prehensile tails. They can breathe fire but their fire gets weaker the colder they are and if it is below 18 degrees Fahrenheit they can not breathe fire. Contrary to the previous thing their fire gets hotter the warmer they are. They are one of the few tribes that can see very far like SkyWings and IceWings. Their sense of smell is also very good due to their forked tongues. Their flying speed is similar to that of a SkyWing’s but they fly slightly slower. However, they are one of the most agile fliers because of the many trees in their environment they need to be able to maneuver around with ease. They are ambush hunters so they are able to slow their breathing and stay as still as a statue when they hunt. Their scales are tough but at the same time smooth and pebbly.

Appearance: They have very intricate scale patterns that differ in every individual. Their colors vary from red, orange, brown, green, yellow, and very rarely blue. These colors are never neon, but paler and more natural. Blue is the rarest color and is often mixed in with other scale colors. It is common for colors to be mixed in with each other like brown and red and green and yellow. Their scale color often depends on where they were hatched. If they were hatched near lush green plants they were more likely to have green or yellow-ish scales. If they hatched near the ground, dirt or mud, they most likely had brown- red - orange scales. I think you get the point. Their scale patterns are so intricate that you can see the shape of every scale. They are considered a beautiful, but intimidating tribe. All SnakeWings regardless of gender have a hood on their head and neck similar to a cobra’s. They aren’t very noticeable most of the time but when they are irritated, threatened, or angry they flare those hoods. They are tall like SkyWings. They are usually slim with muscular limbs, especially their forearms. Their horns vary from every individual. They can be twisted, straight, large, small. It depends on genes. The color of their scales may change as they age, but the change in color is not major. Their fangs sometimes stick out of their mouths and are visible, but this isn’t very common and depends on genes. Their sclera (the white part of your eye) and their iris (the part of your eye thats colored and is right next to your pupil) can be different colors but their pupil is always black. Their eyes can be any color except for completely black or completely white. Their pupil is a thin slit. Their wingspan is above average but smaller than a SkyWing’s.

Habitat: The SnakeWing kingdom is located in the rainforest, where it is humid and warm.

Naming: Dragonets are named after different snake species, or things related to snakes.
