Sandwings are a type of WoF dragon.
They have scales the colour of sand, usually a nice yellow, a barbed venomous tail, and a forked tongue. They can breath fire and poison enemies with the tips of their tail like scorpions. They can camouflage in sand and can survive a long time without water.
The Sandwings have a complicated history—a story about the old queen Oasis. . .
There was a queen called Oasis and she, one night, smelled scavengers (humans) in her treasury. So she went to the treasury and fought the scavengers that were stealing the treasure. One scavenger managed to slice Oasis’s tail and another impaled her in the eye with a spear. As the scavengers ran away, they left behind one of their kind.
A small human buried herself in a sand dune so that she didn’t get caught and eaten. Smolder, Burn, Blister and Blaze’s brother found the small human, naming her Flower.
Back to Queen Oasis, the other Sandwings heard her roaring in the middle of the night, and when they went to investigate, they found Oasis dead in a pool of blood. And that’s where they found the scavenger footprints. The Sandwings followed the footprints and burned down a whole scavenger village.
Burn, Blister and Blaze were Oasis’ daughters and they started the war betwwen each other because they wanted the throne.
Burn was the oldest and strongest—she stayed in the Sandwing Stronghold while the war went on. She allied with the Skywings and Mudwings.
Blister was the smartest sister and the evilest. She allied to the Seawings and secretly, the Nightwings.
Blaze was the youngest and prettiest sister. She had a brain the size of a blueberry and she allied with the Icewings and most of the Sandwings.
They fought and fought and fought until the Dragonet Prophecy was born. Five dragonets were chosen to end the war. And they did, by finding the eye of the onyx and defeating Blister (Burn already died). But instead of Blaze becoming queen, they chose Thorn, the leader of the Scorpion Den.
I kind of like the Sandwings because they have so much going on and the first five books were kind of caused because of them, making it a whole lot more complicated.
