Dragon Injury Reference

[More like speculation than ‘reference,’ but i did research for this. I always recommend doing your own research, too]

WINGS [Specifically webbed/bat wings] - Wings are FULL of blood vessels, and will probably bleed a surprising amount if cut or punctured. These sorts of injuries heal can without much treatment, even if a large amount of the wing membrane is missing - Fractures of the wing should be splinted, and put into a wing wrap/sling - A dragon missing a wing wouldn’t be able to fly again, except with an extremely advanced prosthetic. Lots of small movements. Also having to get used to the weight difference -An aesthetic prosthetic could still be used to combat lopsided-ness, but would be bigger and more unwieldy than other sorts of prosthetics

MISSING LIMBS - A three-legged dragon would be able to walk and run normally, once they get used to the shifted centre of mass and balancing on only three legs - Arthritis IS more common because of the extra pressure on the remaining joints. Would be worse for heavier dragons - Wings could probably be used to balance/support body, if they’re large enough to touch the ground - Missing just the tip of the tail probably wouldn’t affect much, but larger portions WOULD as that’s a lot of body mass to suddenly lose - Tails also help with balance when running and steering when flying, so a dragon might trouble getting used to the difference

HORNS - Horns are have a core of bone covered with a sheath of keratin, and never shed. They are difference from antlers, which are pure bone and do shed. - The tip of a horn is solid keratin, and will not bleed. Could be sanded or filed down for aesthetic purposes, but otherwise not a big concern - Closer to the base WILL bleed, and should be treated accordingly. - Horns will regrow over several months or a year, but closer to the base they may not regrow at all. Deformation upon regrowing is also common

MISC - Some reptiles can get Metabolic Bone Disease [MBD] from lack of sunlight/uvb.  This causes the bones to weaken, which increases the likelihood of fractures and can make the legs/tail/spine crooked, among other things. In WoF specifically, I head-canon Rainwings, Leafwings, and Sandwings are susceptible to this. - Scales over a healed injury may be smaller and irregular. Also takes a little bit for the scales to grow back in the first place - running out of juice for this but. something something infection of whatever organ produces fire/breath weapon. Think that’d be neat.

Mudwing Headcanons

I think about them too much. My favorite tribe. Some of these are dumb.

- Mudwing sibling troops often have ‘family names’ that are often just the name of the bigwings. Yes, this means bigwings have a “Mario Mario” type situation going on. The main exception to this are royal mudwings, which often have a last name relating to some virtue they embody that makes them ‘better’ than lower-class mudwings

- Mudwing eggs start out porous and sticky and harden over the course of about half an hour. This ‘glues’ eggs of the same clutch together, making it hard to separate them.

- Separating an egg from it’s clutch is extremely taboo in mudwing society, because it’s robbing that dragon of their troop and vise versa. This is also hard to do after the eggs have glued themselves together, and can often kill the eggs in question.

- Because of the different in clutch sizes (Mudwing clutches seem to average at least 6, normal clutches are 1-2, maybe 3) Mudwing hybrids are often unsibs by default, if raised in mudwing society. It’s not a uncommon practice to ‘plant’ these eggs into another clutch (or split between multiple clutches) so that they won’t be alone. Troops will treat this ‘cuckoo’ sibling like any other, but may receive scorn from other mudwings

- Only-child mudwings are considered cursed by other mudwings, and naturally assumed to be violent, amoral, and/or unsympathetic, or things of that nature. This can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

- Typically, mudwing dragonets are taught by mainly older dragonets, rather than grown dragons. Sometimes ‘seedling villages’ will occur, where younger dragons will start their own village rather than joining with a pre-existing one. These have varying success.

- Relating to this, ‘respect your elders’ isn’t really a thing in mudwing society. They DO care for those too old to care for themselves, obviously, but respect purely on the basis of age is not a thing.

- Farming is a huge thing in mudwing society, with produce making up most of their exports. Rice is a major crop, and most mudwing dishes feature rice. Pigs and goats are the most common livestock. Cows are high-valued but only do well in the grasslands and are thus more uncommon. Chickens and Waterfowl aren’t considered ‘worth it’ to farm by many due to their size, but are often favored by young troops. It also isn’t uncommon for villages to have half-feral flocks of birds that are picked at as needed.

- Contrary to popular belief, The Diamond Spray Delta is a huge centre of farming activity and therefore population. It got it’s reputation from traders who were disdainful of ‘low-born’ farmers, and the fact it fell into disarray during the war, when many farmers were unable to tend to their crops.

- Blood-red eggs aren’t genetic, but rather caused by an egg reacting to certain factors both inside and outside of the womb. Curiously, it is extremely uncommon for multiple blood-red eggs to occur in a single clutch.
