Homebrew Skywing Species Details
A species from a book series I enjoy. The name of the series is wings of fire! While being for children it has many violent scenes like a human stabbing another human in the chest and blood gurgling out their mouth, child murder, a son making his own father rip out his own organs in front of a crowd while the other watch on in horror as the prince rips out his own organs and more fun kid friendly content! Anyways skywings are 1 of 10 tribes of dragons. They are red, orange or yellow in color and often named after their color, other flying creatures ect. I find it necessary to state that they breath fire and have the largest wings of any tribe, live up in the mountains where they serve their Queen, queen scarlet. They look like stereotypical European dragons for the most part. 4 legged though are smarter than the modern day humans of their world ect: Having armor, high quality homes, farms, ect. They hear humans as squeaking and humans hear them as roaring though the languages can be learned by both. Look up wings of fire skywing for a basic idea of how to draw them and please if you have not checked it out do so I really do think most of you who like fantasy will really enjoy wings of fire even out of fantasy it is really well written especially for a children's series.
This species has 2 rare birth defects those being fire scales and the opposite fireless. Fire scales are as they sound, dragons that have been born with to much fire and as a result burn anything they touch the only natural resistance is mudwings who ever born from blood red eggs. Fireless dragons are just the fireless versions of skywings and have only been found in skywings. The only book characters who were not killed as a result of this were a pair of twins that being Peril and Sky.
Skywings typically kill dragonets that are dangerous being firescales or when they were still around, animus.
Also age 7 is considered adult and dragons at the oldest can be up to 130 at least that is how old the oldest dragon who wasn't enchanted was around.
Note to please only use this in campaigns where homebrew or even just wings of fire is the main focus! If not please explain it is from a book series and are huge dragons!

Posted Oct 11, 2025so, like, on a roll of a D100, what is the rate of being like Peril or Skye, or even of the possibility of Animus magic (fun fact, Animus, Animi, is Latin for soul/mind)?
