Sandwing facts I made up: -Wide talon pads act as snowshoes on sand. -Closeable nostrils and a translucent eyelid for protection in sandstorms. -Better runners than fliers, can reach to speeds of 70 miles per hour. -Thick scales help insulate from hot days and cold nights. -Highly effective kidneys make it so that a Sandwing could go centuries without water if necessary. -Tolerates extremely high body temperatures but are susceptible to cold. -Frills are used in simple communication between sandwings, predator confusion/ intimidation, and to make them look pwetty :> -Powerful beak and teeth that allow them to turn bones into a crunchy treat after a meal rather than trash. -Finally, their venom: the main attraction. This venom is considered to be so powerful it can kill dragons in only 48 hours, but a full dose in an area like the heart or head can kill instantly (btw, this is all if the dragon is not a mudwing lol, they can drink that stuff)
Song: Appondale by Animal Jam About the Sand Kingdom: Developed faster than the other Kingdoms (not including nightwings, they have geniuses rn that will go down in history), even over competing seawings in architecture. The stunning buildings in the downtown area, taller than hivewing hives, are made with something more powerful than animus commands: a creative and artistic community (& wealthy doners). They have a famous, gorgeous building- intricate marbled sandstone, cherry and walnut burl ceilings, gemstone windows letting in crystalline light- it's called The Geode and holds performances of the most esteemed songwriters and musicians that frequently play traditional sandwing symphonies.
