BoulderWings

Name: BoulderWings

Diet: Almost anything

Average lifespan: A BoulderWings average lifespan is 110 years, most reach about 50 as they are a quite reckless tribe.

Scale colour(s): BoulderWing scales are any shade of grey, blue-grey, and brown, their underbelly scales are thick and sturdy and are usually a different shade of the main body.

Eye colour(s): BoulderWings usually have brown or blue eyes, with very rare cases having green eyes.

Horns/spikes/claws: BoulderWing horns are curled inward like a ram, their spikes are thicker and blunter than most tribes, their claws are very sharp and slightly curved for digging tunnels.

Body shape: BoulderWings have robust, muscular bodies like that of a MudWing, being able to tank many hits and overpower most enemies.

Wings: BoulderWings have fairly normal sized wings, though with their bulky bodies, it is harder for them to fly than other tribes.

Other appearance details: BoulderWings have bumps/studs running down their spine and sides, BoulderWings also have a rocky club like ball at the end of their tails.

Abilities: BoulderWings are one of the only tribes on Elrathia that breath fire, though it is less hot than that of Pyrrhian tribes, BoulderWings mainly use their brute strength for fighting but can also tuck into a ball and hurl themselves at a target.

Special abilities: BoulderWings do not have animus dragons, there has been three recorded BoulderWing animuses, all of which were hybrids, though sometimes a BoulderWing can hatch as an Earthclade, Earthclade dragons can push up the ground from under them to make spikes or walls.

Strengths: In one on one combat a BoulderWing would win because of its immense power, in areas with softer ground BoulderWings also have an advantage, as they can tunnel quickly through the soft sediment.

Weaknesses: In the air BoulderWings are quite clumsy, they can easily be outmanoeuvred, as they are slow, and in cramped areas like dense forest where there isn't enough room for their immense bodies.

Kingdoms name: BoulderWing Flatlands

Kingdoms location: The BoulderWing Flatlands are located on the "shoulder/back" of Elrathia.

Royals: Queen Slate, King Granite, Princess Beryl, Prince Obsidian

Palace(s): The BoulderWing palace is located underground at the northern end of the BoulderWing Flatlands, the only access point to the tunnel kingdom is a large dragon built mound with a stone arch for an entrance.

Other buildings: Most BoulderWings live in the tunnels under the entrance mound, but some live in the city around it, in the tunnels there are many different caves, one of the more important ones is the sparring cave, since BoulderWings are fierce warriors the sparring cave is almost the size of the palace and is full of different battlefields to train on.

Ranks/Occupations: The first rank is Queen, King, then the other royals, Guards, soldiers, and finally citizens.

Tribe relationships: BoulderWings do not usually stay with their mates, like MudWings, they have mating nights and the mother takes care of them, along with any family members willing to help out.

Attitude towards dragons with special powers: BoulderWings do not treat dragons with special powers any different than they do to any other BoulderWing, Earthclades are respected by them but not given any special treatment from the queen other than promoting them faster.

Attitude towards hybrids: Hybrids with enemy tribes are forbidden and will get you shunned and thrown out of the BoulderWing Flatlands, though other hybrids with dragons that are not enemies are acceptable.

Eggs: BoulderWing eggs are either brown or grey and often have large scale like patterns all over the shell.

Dragonets: BoulderWing dragonets are taken care of by their mother and siblings, at the age of five, most BoulderWings have started battle training and learned to hurl themselves at non moving targets.

Naming: BoulderWings are named after rock types, gems, minerals etc., examples: Copper, Quartz, Slab, Painite, Magnetite, Marble, Basalt, Shale, Agate, Malachite, Graphite, Schist, Flint, Gravel, Limestone, Feldspar, Diorite, and Opal.

Other cultural details: BoulderWings are a proud tribe, they do not have time for things such as religions, they spend most of their time training to improve their skills, as they have expanded outward, the walls in the tunnels got harder and harder, making them almost impossible to dig through, which led to the construction of the city surrounding the entrance gate.

History: BoulderWings have always been a proud tribe, they would always ask other tribes for large scaled battles to test their strength, and when the war started, the couldn't contain themselves, the joined an alliance with the first FlameWing sister they saw, who was Ember, in this alliance they would be able to fight many battles and test their strength to the absolute limit.
