Werewolves

Werewolves, also known as Wolf Hybrids to, are a Pyrrhian dragon tribe that reside in the Mud Kingdom. They are currently ruled by Queen Moorhen.

The MudWings were allied with Burn and the SkyWings in the War of SandWing Succession and fought against Blister and Blaze. They were allied with Blister until the assassination of Commander Tempest. Burn forced the MudWings into an alliance with her using threats and offered 100 years of peace between their tribes and protection for the MudWings if she became queen of the SandWings.

Description
MudWings have thick, armored scales. They are usually earthy colors, such as browns, greens, ambers, and oranges. They are most known for their flat snouts, brute strength, and size. They may have gold or amber underscales, usually more visible in sunlight. Their nostrils are located on the top of the snouts, allowing them to lay submerged in mud for long periods. They have thick, curved horns and broad, flat heads. Their eyes have been described as brown, gold, and amber, sometimes with brownish-yellow rings around the pupils. Their bodies are muscular and robust, closely resembling alligators, crocodiles, and other prehistoric reptiles. They are typically larger and stronger than dragons of other tribes.

MudWings may also have odd markings such as dappled scales.

Diet
Werewolves are carnivores, So they eat meat. They'd eat anything (Except their allies). They run after their prey, They bite it's tail, and knocks it out before eating it.

Abilities
Common Wolves have either water or leaf magic. Advanced Wolves have either Fire or Ice. Rainbow Rank Wolves have all sorts of magic.

Society
Less wealthy and lowborn MudWings usually live on the outskirts of MudWing territory, near the Diamond Spray Delta, while the rest live closer to the center of the kingdom.MudWings live in large bunkhouses that house several dragons (usually siblings). They also tend to lie around and nap in large mud puddles. Additionally, MudWings are often perceived as unintelligent, although this is a stereotype.

Pairings are not formal, with a breeding night once a month. Neither parent takes part in raising their children, and often the two partners will not know one another or their children in any way. MudWings lay their eggs in well-protected bunkhouses with mud walls and warm rocks for incubation. Eggs are left mostly alone, and oftentimes no adults are present during hatchings. The first MudWing dragonet to hatch is often the largest and is known as a bigwings. They will help their siblings out of their eggs.

MudWings live in troops of siblings, with the bigwings as the caretaker and leader. When a sibling is killed or lost, a sib group may take in another dragon who has been orphaned from their own group, known as "unsibs." Several unsibs may gather to form their own troop. These sib groups love and trust one another a great deal and work well as units of soldiers. They also protect one another and feel the loss of a sibling deeply.

Names
MudWing names generally relate to the earth, swamps, and the things that reside there such as Reed, Crane, Pheasant, Sora, and Cattail, or shades of brown, such as Umber, Sepia, and Ochre. Sometimes they can also be named after types of diamonds or minerals, such as Asha. Synonyms of swamps or swampy areas are also used as names, such as Marsh, Swamp, and Bog.

Trivia

 * No MudWing queen has ever been challenged by a sister for her throne due to the way MudWings form sibling bonds. The bigwings of the troop is likely always the queen due to the hierarchy of these groups.
 * When Chameleon is trying to persuade Peril to let him change her during Ruby and Scarlet's battle, he says, "A kingdom without any heirs is in perpetual danger...I think all the queens learned from what happened to the MudWings a couple of centuries ago." This hints that the MudWings had a succession crisis before the time of the main arcs and could imply that Queen Moorhen is not related to the original line of MudWing queens (i.e. Queen Crane).
 * Hatching from a blood-red egg is not uncommon, and these eggs occur every few years. Clay is the only known MudWing to have hatched from one such egg.
 * Tui stated that she imagines MudWings to sleep in a pile together in their sleep house. This is depicted in the graphic novel.
