HiveWings are one of the three tribes that live on Pantala. It is claimed in The Hive Queen that they are all descendants of Clearsight, who mated with a SilkWing named Sunstreak and one other unknown SilkWing; their dragonets apparently became the first HiveWings. Queen Wasp claims Clearsight's decision to mate with SilkWings resulted in the HiveWings being related to the SilkWings. HiveWings are the tribe that currently has control of most of Pantala, as they killed off most of the LeafWings and enslaved the SilkWings. They are ruled by Queen Wasp, and are primarily based appearance-wise on wasps as well as other insects.
It is likely that the Legend of the Hive mentioned by Hope (formerly Foeslayer) in the epilogue of Darkness of Dragons is about HiveWings, and since it is a scroll from Foeslayer's time, that would prove the HiveWings existed when Clearsight lived, meaning they are lying about being her descendants. HiveWings, along with SilkWings and LeafWings, are the three Pantalan dragon tribes. Their colors primarily include shades of red, yellow, orange, and always black, but may have other variations such as dark green.
Description
HiveWings have slender, incredibly strong and muscular bodies, with four thin and clear segmented wings. According to the description in the Pantala dragon guide, HiveWings can be red, yellow, and/or orange, but always have some black scales. The common belief among HiveWings is that the reason why they have black scales because they share the same ancestor, Clearsight. This is mentioned in The Hive Queen, in which Lady Scarab mentions that she learned through the history books that Clearsight and her two SilkWing husbands had many children, and their many children had many children with SilkWings. This apparently formed the HiveWing tribe. HiveWings have a slightly compact face, with a smaller nose-ridge on the tip of their snout, and a larger curved ridge on their forehead. Confirmed eye colors include black, brown, red, and green. In The Lost Continent, when Blue was being shuffled off to the flamesilk cavern, he mentions the "yellow-orange-green glow" of HiveWings' eyes, suggesting a sort of light to their eyes. This glow or the eyes themselves could be green. They have a pair of long, curved, and smooth-looking horns, that raise slightly above their head, the tips curving slightly forward, giving them an almost regal appearance. Long thin spikes go down their spines, to the tip of their tails, which have a slightly larger spine, which can be used to spray acid, or inject venom, alongside spikes on their wrists used for similar purposes (if they have that ability). Another ability of the HiveWings in to emit a powerful stench, as shown by Lady Scarab. It is unknown where this smell is exuded, whether it be spines, a gland, or a bodily orifice. Some HiveWings, like Treehopper, have been shown to be green, and based on how Cricket said Cinnabar looked a little like a HiveWing, they may come in burnet, like Cinnabar. According to Cricket in The Hive Queen, some HiveWings do not have powers.
