Abyssalwings info

Name: abyssalwing

Behaviors: they live in the depths of the ocean, far below where there are any seawings. They are mostly blind instead using echolocation to move around. They have lost the ability to speak verbally as they have lived near the ocean floor for generations. Cannot use aquatic instead communicate in a similar fashion to dolphins or orcas

Description: Their bones and scales are denser to stand up to the immense pressure of the sea. They have fins along their spine, on every side of their tail, along their chest in a vertical line, and down the sides of their arms and legs. Their wings have thicker webbing to help them steer through the ocean. Their eyes are a milky white displaying their blindness. There are rare mutations in their biology that give them new features, a few examples are an angler fish's lure, a gulper eels mouth size, which usually emerges as having a second mouth below the first, and a yeti crabs fur to name a few. Their scale colors are very dark ranging from almost black to a dark green to midnight blue

Abilities: even with their blindness they can see very well due to having evolved to use echolocation. Are able to communicate in a similar fashion to dolphins and orcas. Both their echolocation and their communication work above the water however it is not as affective and may not work properly. Their genetic mutations, depending on what it is, can give them some particularly interesting abilities. For example, if they get a mutation of gulper eel mouth they can extend their jaw to take a bigger bite out of their opponent. If they are given octopus suction cups on their tails they have a much easier time using their tails as a third limb including holding back a claw attack from an opponent. They have discovered a way to use their powerful webbed wings to disorient whales and other dragons in the oceans. By flapping their wings and combining that with a powerful snap of their jaws they mimic the same effect as a pistol shrimp. Weaponizing air bubbles underwater.

Diet: they have a diet of deep-sea fish, yeti crabs, sperm whales, and colossal squids. They find it appealing when they can locate some blobfish. They see them as a sweet delicacy that is to be bred for their yearly trench party.

Government: they do have the same tradition of queens ruling the tribe as well as princesses being able to fight against the queen to take control. They are very superstitious and believe the surface world is corrupt but since they are weak to direct sunlight for long periods they have not realized that the seven tribes have been at peace for a while.

Habitat: They live far into the abyssal zone of the ocean, where no light ever reaches them.

History: Hundreds of thousands of years ago, They had lived to the southeast of the rainforest kingdom. They mainly kept to themselves but did have relations with the nightwings. Who taught them about their powers as well as the fabled animus magic. One day a nightwing named Foresight told them that a war was coming and they would find sanctuary deep within the oceans. Sadly they found sanctuary as he had predicted but when a scout of the tribe searched to find Foresight. He had an icewing narwhal spear penetrating his side. The last thing he told the scout before his passing was, "Icewings killed me. One day another nightwing, one with my power or both nightwings abilities will reunite your tribe with the others. stay hidden, keep your tribe safe... Go...." The Scout returned to the tribe with the spear and their friend's last prediction. They carved their homes from the cliffs and found the richest deposits of gold, silver, and jewels, that they had ever seen. they believed that Their fallen friends' final prediction would come to pass. And that one day another nightwing would reunite them with the surface tribes. Ever since then, they have remained hidden. But had always remembered the prophet who saved their tribe from the war. As well as his promise that a nightwing will reunite them with the surface world one day. They have celebrated the memory of Foresight every year since then, not allowing his memory, or promise, to fade into the history books.

Other Notes: They are highly superstitious about the dragon tribes. So much so that any mind readers or prophets they would encounter the abyssal wings would see them as either user of black magic (which is what they call an animus) or as prophets sent by an abyssalwing who theorized they would be the ones to re-introduce them to the seven tribes who live on the surface. Every year they celebrate what they call the Trench Discovery. On that date several hundred thousand years ago, is where they found their home deep within a trench at the bottom of the ocean.
