Art by the wonderful !

Finally getting my troop fellas drawn, and Draite nailed our bigwings- Kobicha. This MudWing is one of our three stars of the Quicksand story series (which takes place in the Wings of Fire universe). He's pretty typical for a MudWing. He's about 13 years old in the series (late 20s in human years). The rest of our troop coming soon! :)

For those who didn't read Wings of Fire- MudWings (this dragon species) form tight bonds with their clutch (brothers and sisters laid at the same time as them). They operate in these units, 'troops', for their entire life. They usually don't form significant bonds outside their troops- in fact, the tribes have mating nights where pairings are transient, clutches are laid, and on their own for the most part after that. No parent-child bonds. MudWings have a bigwings- the first hatched and the largest of their troop. Bigwings serve as the leader and guardian of their siblings from the start, immediately helping their siblings hatch after they do. Kobicha is the bigwings of our rather atypical troop starred in the Quicksand universe.
