SilkWings are one of the three tribes living on Pantala. They currently live in the LeafSilk Kingdom alongside the LeafWings. The SilkWings do not have a queen, instead having a governing body of SilkWings known as the SilkWing Assembly leading them and making decisions for the tribe. Before and after the Tree Wars, their queen was Queen Wasp. The last SilkWing queen was Queen Monarch. They are descendants of BeetleWings. They are characterized by their butterfly-like wings and silk spinning abilities.
Appearance
SilkWings can be any color under the sun except black,[1] whilst their eyes can be any color. They are commonly patterned with splotches, freckles, and stripes.
SilkWings have long, plated, curved horns and iridescent plated scales like sliced gems.[2] They have long antennae and two sets of huge butterfly-like wings, two larger wings connected near to their shoulders, and two smaller wings connected to a segment near the larger wings. They grow these wings after going through metamorphosis at the age of six.[1] Before metamorphosis, they only have wingbuds.[3] Much like their scales being patterned, their wings can have spots and shapes.
They have slim bodies, much like RainWings, but are much longer, and more beautiful looking.
Abilities
All SilkWings after metamorphosis are able to spin silk from glands in their wrists. Some SilkWings have the ability to spin flamesilk, a power that allows them to spin fiery silk from their wrists. A single strand of flamesilk can last an entire moon cycle, and was previously used in lamps as a source of light. There are five types of flamesilk.
- Gold Silk does not burn or glow, it instead has a golden color.[4]
- Firefly Silk gives off a small bit of light, like holding a firefly in your talons.[4]
- Glow Silk is warm and gives off a glow like fire, but can be held.[4]
- Blaze Silk is the flamesilk found in most lanterns, it burns like normal fire and gives off a glow like fire.[5]
- Sun Silk is a type of flamesilk that is as bright as lightning and burns extremely hot and can burn through stone. The only way to put it out is to drown it.[6]
Additionally, SilkWings who are able to produce flamesilk cannot be burned by flamesilk, however they can still be harmed by regular fire.
SilkWings have precise internal clocks to keep them on schedule and tell them when a rainy season is coming.[7] They are able to sense vibrations using their antennae, as well as weather.[8]
Diet
SilkWings are vegetarian,[9][10] and they mostly eat food such as yam, okra, beans and honey. They also sometimes eat candy, such as honey drops and nectar. Also being to enjoy certain types of chocolate.
