ChangeWings are a militaristic tribe lead by Ketsueki, they used to live on a contaminated island on the coast of Pyrrhia, making their attitude violent. Now that they live in harmony amognst the SkyWings, they are a lot nicer due to the air being fresh and not polluted.

Description
New reference is a WIP! ChangeWings don't have black pupils, instead they have light blue, meanwhile their eye sclera is a darker blue than the pupil. They have a core on their chest, it's the main life source of the ChangeWing. Their main scale colours are normally blacks, greys or dark colours. The only light colours on the dragon is the eyes and the core (mostly, cores can be dark) ChangeWings CANNOT be light, excluding hybrids. Animus ChangeWings have mostly blunt tails, they have no tail darts.

Society
ChangeWing society used to work a lot differently than it does now. They used to make a trial named the "Bloodbath trial", where they decide the ranking of soldiers and guards.

Now they run markets all dragons are friendly to go to, just like the Glitterbaazar they have stalls, however they are more organised. Some items are only obtained at these stalls, like the gemstone necklaces. ChangeWings can trade or make weavings, they also make mosaics of their pasts as well as other famous ChangeWing stories. ChangeWings don't normally change their appearance unless they are a guard, soldier or detective. ChangeWings do like to buy wares from other tribes too, they normally hang them up during festivals or in restaurants, however not in the galleries as they are made by ChangeWings only. ChangeWings have jobs that no other tribes may have, this is a list of some ChangeWing jobs.

Abilities
THESE ABILITIES VARY FROM DRAGON FROM DRAGON AND ARE GENETIC, A CHANGEWING CAN ONLY HAVE 1 OR 2 ABILITIES OR NONE.

Changing
All ChangeWings have the ability or changing into anything they see, and freely. However, the ChangeWing cannot change when stressed or upset. The subject has to be in full view of the ChangeWing in order for them to be able to change into them for the first time. ChangeWings no longer really change their appearance unless necassary.

Spark breath
Some ChangeWings can shoot sparks from their mouths, this will paralyze their subject for about a day. This can also be afflicted if the ChangeWing is sparking and bites another dragon.

Core beam
Some ChangeWings are born with a core with so much energy that it can be transferred into a beam. This can cause discomfort to the ChangeWing however. The beam can be released by accident when the ChangeWing is angry or distressed. The energy is burning hot, and the wound takes a whole year to heal, if the wound is inflicted on the shoulder or leg then the subject will be unable to walk for a while.

Tail spikes
All ChangeWings have tail spikes, but some have extra that are retractable and shootable. The spikes are extremely sharp and can pierce through almost any scale on a dragon's body. Once inside it's victim, the spike releases a deadly venom, this may kill the dragon if not removed. This venom is most deadly on the neck, chest and stomach.

Slime saliva
Some ChangeWings are born with slime instead of normal saliva. This works just as a normal dragons saliva would but it's even stickier. Some ChangeWings can spit it out to catch prey or immobilize enemies.

Paralyzing glare
Although this is not an ability a ChangeWing is hatched with, some can possess a glare that can pulse fear into it's enemy. This is normally developed by an aggressive attitude and a hatred towards others.

Location/History of location
Due to most of the spots on Pyrrhia being occupied, the ChangeWings had nowhere to reside. With no hope, they started to return to their island when the SkyWing queen reached out to them saying they could live with them. Ketsueki and the others accepted this new life and began to claim their land in the SkyWing kingdom. Now that the SkyWings are living with 4 tribes by her kingdom, she feels out of space. She contacts the ChangeWings again asking if the SkyWings are allowed into their territory, Ketsueki allows them to.

The ChangeWings reside at the bottom of the Sky Kingdom.

More locations will be added when I think of them

Culture
ChangeWing culture is mostly focusing on their jobs and trading. They are well known for their mosaics and weavings. Most ChangeWings normally focus on their specialties, and don't change. Most writers, artists, weavers and mosaic makers tend to sell their work when finished.

Beliefs
ChangeWings believe in all sorts of things. They believe in ghosts for example, they always think the spirit of their ancestor is looking down on them, proud. Some ChangeWings believe in gods, although most think the belief is "unfounded and silly". Some ChangeWings get into arguments because of the other criticizing their belief.

Firelight
The day of Firelight takes place at night. The queen gathers ChangeWings and gets them to paint a lantern, once finished they are lit. All at once the ChangeWings will release the light into the sky. No shops are open at night, only day, detective work is not done day or night and soldiers work at day. Some stalls are open during the Firelight festival.

Before the festival, the queen arranges a group of ChangeWings to set up the festival. It includes lights and other things. The stalls are decorated and nicely organised, there are stands for entertainment and snacks and a bouncy castle for young dragonets to play on. A band of ChangeWings play music while others honor their ancestors.

Ongaku
Ongaku is a traditonal music festival where ChangeWings dance and sing. No workers work on this day and the festival once again starts at night. It has the same setup as Firelight except without the stalls (excluding snack stalls) and the bouncy castle. The stage is nicely set up with bright spotlights, the stage also has instruments pre-setup for the dragons playing.

This festival is the one that attracts SkyWings and SeaWings the most.

Shokumotsu
This festival is more dedicated to food. This one has endless stalls of food and are organised nicely. Once again, same setup as well as the bouncy castle. This is more like a restaurant, except you can eat anything in Pyrrhia. This festival is to honour other tribes traditions.

This attracts RainWings the most.

Fuku
This isn't a festival but rather a day were everyone decides they must look PERFECT. They wear jewellery, scarves and lots more.

Language
ChangeWings have a private way of speaking from tail gestures. These are some translations:

Tail flick | Stop it!

Tail buzz | You are in trouble.

Tail spin | Your super funny!

Tail slap | Stop it! Your flirting with me!

Tail sweep | Can I ask you a favour?

Tail wag | Hello!

Tail curl | I'm fine.

Tail wave | How are you?

Tail straightly raised | Are you sure?

Tail droop | I'm not okay.

Tail spines stick up | Oh no!

Tail moves to side of dragon | Am I in trouble?

Tail curls over talons | Tell me more!

CHANGEWINGS ARE NOT HATCHED WITH THIS LANGUAGE, THEY MUST LEARN IT FROM SCHOOL OR ANOTHER DRAGON.
