![]() HiveWings queens would actually just choose their successor. It was originally believed that there was a list of HiveWings who inherited the throne in the Book of Clearsight, but this was a lie that only the queen knew. īefore the Tree Wars, HiveWings lived in the forests of Pantala with a preference for cliffs and caves. When the HiveWings first became their own tribe, they coexisted peacefully with the other Pantalan tribes. Katydid describes the feeling as having an unstoppable urge to do what the queen commands them to do, similar to being hypnotized. HiveWings have pure white eyes when under the mind-control and moved in eerie unison. Wasp could control the mind of any HiveWing whom she had injected with the breath of evil, which was kept in her off-limits, personal greenhouse garden. Similar to SilkWings, HiveWings have a precise internal clock which was described to keep their days on schedule and warn them when the rainy season is coming. Some guards were assumed by Blue to be able to shoot poisonous darts from their tails. A dragon paralyzed by HiveWing venom can be "unparalyzed" when given a strong stimulant. Swordtail described the HiveWings' paralyzing toxin as "fire burning every nerve in your body", and as "all you want to do is run or fly or even blink, but you cannot move a single muscle until the toxin wears off" once it wears off. HiveWing powers include sharp stingers extending from their wrists or claws, venom in their teeth, claws or stingers, a paralyzing toxin known as nerve poison that can immobilize targets in their claws or tail stinger, spraying boiling acid from a stinger on their tails, and emitting a horrible stench said to smell like dead rotting things pickled in sulfur. These abilities are genetic and can be passed down. Another shop on the cover appears to be selling mounds of herbs in baskets.Īccording to the Pantalan dragon guide, the HiveWings' powers vary from dragon to dragon, but many do not have any powers. Īdditionally, the Hive on the cover of The Hive Queen depicts a shop selling sharks, implying that sharks or other marine life may also be part of the HiveWing diet. Cricket has been mentioned to smell like cinnamon, and to have have breath that smelled like apples. In The Hive Queen, Cricket recalled a drink that tasted like lime, and one that smelled like coconut. Ĭricket stated that HiveWings do not like to eat most reptiles, such as lizards or snakes, because they believe they may be related to dragons. ![]() Sliced avocados were jokingly mentioned by Cricket. HiveWings also eat confections, like honey drops and nectar, as well as vegetables grown in the Hive greenhouses. HiveWings are omnivorous and eat animals that live on the savanna, such as zebras, wildebeest, gazelle, lions, and antelope. Wasp was noted to have dark green blood, but this may be unique to her as she was imbued with the breath of evil for about 50 years. Blue once mentioned that HiveWing eyes have a "green-yellow-orange glow". HiveWing eye colors include black, orange, brown, red, yellow-gold, green, and amber. Some HiveWings, such as Katydid, Sandfly, and Scarab, have freckle-like scales, or splashes/splotches of scales like Cricket. Some may also have green scales, such as Treehopper. Some are almost completely black in color, such as Hawker and Bombardier. They always have at least a few black scales mixed in inherited from their shared ancestor, Clearsight. Some HiveWings hatch with stingers in their wrists or tails that have the ability to inject venom.Īccording to A Guide to the Dragons of Pantala, HiveWing scales can be red, yellow and/or orange. They have a pair of long, curved, smooth-looking horns. They have a slightly compact face, with a small axe-like ridge on the tip of their snout, and a second, larger curved ridge on the middle of their snout. They have four thin, clear, and segmented wings that resemble those of wasps, dragonflies, and other insects. HiveWings have slender, strong, sharp and muscular bodies.
