starwings are the descendants of either nightwing-skywing hybrids or nightwing-silkwing hybrids, they are split into 2 different types, 2 winged starwings and 4 winged starwings, 2 winged starwings are normally named after cooler stars (like solar.) since their coloring matches that type, 4 winged starwings are named after warmer stars, but regardless, high-ranked starwings are named after consillations, with the generals/royals being named after zodiac signs, they live on different small, isolated island villages scattered across phyrria, witch is how they stayed hidden for so long.
description[]
starwings look like wyverns from basic dragon mythology, 4 winged starwings have wings on their front talons and back, while 2 winged starwings have only the wings on their front talons, 4 winged starwings can be any color that looks like it's flecked on a black background, 2 winged starwings are the same but are only red, orange, and/or yellow, their eyes are always galaxy colored and their flecks are iridescent and all scales are plated, some dragons have a scale morph called glow spot, supposedly that came from mass cross-breeding with seawings, it is codominant (full reptile genetics video by snake discovery here! ) and is a bit uncommon, sunscales starwings are often mistaken for dragons of this morph, but the key difference is glowspots have spots while the sunscales have stripes and are usually colors of the sun and no black, moonscales are normally pale colors with a large, cresent-shaped iridescent scale on their forehead that looks like the moon.
relationships[]
icewings[]
the starwings think that just because they're decsended from nightwings doesn't mean they should be like them and not like the icewings, but worried of the icewings not getting the hint they normally keep their distance.
skywings[]
the starwings have a normal relationship with the skywings.
seawings[]
the starwings that live on islands on the bay of a thousand scales trade with the seawings often since they bassically share a kingdom, the others admire the seawings for their ability to keep their palaces secret.
mudwings[]
the starwings find how the mudwings form troups out of siblings intresting, and even took inspiration from them.
rainwings[]
the starwings like the rainwings and often take routes by the rainforest just for the fun of watching them basking.
sandwings[]
the starwings are worried of another war of sandwing succsesion starting and say they will be forced into it now that they know they exist
nightwings[]
the starwings still judge most nightwings for capturing rainwings, going back to how starwings like the rainwings
kitsunewings[]
the queen of the starwings, queen libra, saw how little kitsunewings there were, so she said she'd protect the kitsunewings and let them live in her kingdom if they promised to go under her rule and have one of their royals breed with one of theirs, they complied and sent prince chiratsuki to the starwings to breed with princess gemini.
society[]
starwings mainly interact with other tribes as little as possible (besides rainwings and kitsunewings) and have religion, this includes the summer solstice, where they believe the most sunscales hatch, so on that day they put every egg on every island on a pedistal that faces the sunset, the reasoning for this is that they believe that sunscales dragons are sacred, and the reason for the skywings' bad luck is because they kill these dragons as soon as they are discovered, they believe sunscales dragons are the dragon forms of the sun (hense their name, sunscales.) and on the winter solstice they believe the most moonscales hatch, so at dusk they place every egg on the island on a pedistal facing the rising moon, the reason is the same as sunscales but with the moon, another is surprisingly the queen challenge, the challenger can be any female in the tribe from any island, but before they face the queen, they must face a sunscales and a moonscales, this represents them facing the desision of the sun and moon, the bigger islands house higher class dragons and they took over the seawing island palace after the seawings abandon it (you'll find that starwings are resorceful with what other dragons leave behind.) starwings are nocturnal and use special sun dials called "moon dials" to keep track of time, they also use star charts as callenders.
food[]
they eat small island game and shore creatures, but also eat coconuts and island fruit.
abilities[]
2 winged starwings can fly close to the speed of skywings, while 4 winged starwings can sense weather changes, but both types can breath fire, see the future and/or read minds, some 2 winged dragonets are born with sunscales, witch is the starwing name for firescales, some have moonscales, and some have a very rare ability called the galaxy blast, this is a breath attack that remains dormant in most dragons, but is "ignited" sort of by breeding with a certain tribe (seawing, skywing, or leafwing.) this has the power to open the galaxy to whatever it hits for a breif second before sucking it in (this would not work on one of sisi's magic-spirits, but trying to imagine midnight's reaction if he was hit by the blast...)
armor[]
moonscales armor is tipically made of stronger materials (titanium, steel, etc.) while normal armor is made of common metals, the armor of royals is normally the hardest, the designs on the armor vary from dragon to dragon, night force have darker metals on theirs and are smooth, yet don't reflect light easily, the design for normal/air striker armor in usually designed with sails, with bladed tail pieces that look like the swords scavengers use, the armor for generals is tipically thicker and has more sails, all armor has a symbol that looks like a kitsunewing wth all 9 tails spread out and it's wings flared out standing infront of a star.
ask on the message wall to make a sunscales or moonscales.
