About

Kelpwings, also known as Kelplings, is a dragon tribe created by Kelpwing in 2022. So far, there are 65+ characters, a map, and a basic timeline of events.

The Kelpwings are a dragon species originally inspired by Wings of Fire's Seawings and Leafwings. This has changed, though, as their design and story have evolved beyond the bounds of possibility in the Wings of Fire universe. As of now, Kelpwings are also known as Kelplings.

Appearance:

Their scales are light to dark green or yellow; rarely are they blue. There is a lot of variation in the species, mainly because of their evolutionary history. All Kelpwings also have tailfins. They have an Aussie-ish accent.

They primarily live on land on the various islands scattered across the Thalora Archipelago.

Despite not having webbed claws/talons, Kelpwings are very powerful swimmers. Albeit not powerful enough to purely survive out at sea, but enough to hunt, survive, and traverse.

A primary danger to Kelpwings are storms, as the high possibility of windshear. It is not easy for Kelpwings to recover from windshear induced mid-air instability.

They are not safe in the sea either. Strong sudden rip currents can carry them far away almost without warning. These two especially affect hatchlings and younger fledglings who haven't had the chance to learn and adapt to such events yet.

Communication:

They have no full way of communicating underwater except for some gestures/movements.
