WOF Dragon Taxonomy

I was kind of thinking of doing a semi rewrite of the WoF backstory / lore. No new species would look as different as Wof dragons do in that short amount of time (come on drastically different dragons in roughly 5k years?). For my rewrite I'd say the scorching was actually at least 1 million years before the first book starts. Probably still not enough for the drastic changes, though since the different tribes can still breed with each other (hybrids exist after all) I would say they're either still the same species (or subspecies) or closely enough related because breeding (with fertile offspring) is still possible.

I'd also say Nightwing, Icewings, and Skywings existed in some form when the scorching happened since I believe they're the "common ancestors" for most of the other tribes.

Since I believe the dragons are subspecies of an "original" species of dragon that existed way before the scorching here are some hypothetical scientific names! The basic scientific name for all of them would be Draco Sapien (The Wise Dragon). Here is the list:

Nightwings: Draco Sapien Noctis (Wise Dragon of the Night)

Icewings: Draco Sapien Nivis (Wise Dragon of the Snow)

Skywings: Draco Sapien Caeli (Wise Dragon of Heaven, just thought this sounded cool)

Mudwings: Draco Sapien Terrae (Wise Dragon of the Earth)

Sandwings: Draco Sapien Solis (Wise Dragon of the Sun) or Draco Sapien Desertum (Wise Dragon of the Desert) Couldn't choose between the two.

Rainwings: Draco Sapien Silvae (Wise Dragon of the Forest)

Seawings: Draco Sapien Maris (Wise Dragon of the Sea)

Hivewings: Draco Sapien Wasp (Wise Wasp Dragon, since they kinda look like wasps)

Silkwings: Draco Sapien Serico (Wise Silk Dragon)

Leafwings: Draco Sapien Folium (Wise Leaf Dragon)

Wow, that was a lot. I'm not exactly a professional in species names, but I tried my best. I would say the WOF dragons would be most closely related to Birds! They're definitely reptiles, and I think it makes the most sense for them to be related to Birds. So WOF dragons would be part of the Archosauria (Ruling Reptiles) Clade which in the real world is made up of Birds and Crocodiles. For extinct members, it also includes Non-Avian Dinosaurs, Pterosaurs, and extinct Croc species. In my opinion, the WOF dragons would technically be more closely related to Dinosaurs, but their closest living relative would be birds (which are dinosaurs technically).

Did Dinosaurs even exist in the WOF universe? I mean, birds are a thing so I'm guessing that's the case.

I love looking into taxonomy, so I made taxonomical names and did a little redesigning/headcanonifying for the great fairies, malanya, lord of the mountain, and the blupees For Lord of the mountain and malanya, since they’re horse adjacent, their genus is Equus Ferus, which contains wild horses, horses, and przewalski’s horse. 

For lord, the species name specifically is Cerulean. I chose that because for fucks sake he’s blue /lh. But also because I like to think that the fairies and their tendency to be blue is what inspired the hero’s tunic coloration. and perhaps that maybe blue is the preferred color of the royal family for said reason. who knows.

And for Malanya, the species name is Deus, meaning God. He’s the god of horses. But I still consider him to be a fairy, and closer related to the great fairies, so you can see his spooky little head under his mask in his picture. For the Blupees, they actually have two Genus names, That being Tyto (Barn owls) and Lepus (Hares and Jackrabbits), along with the Cerulean species name to match their very horsie counterpart. With the rest of the fairies, they take up the genus name Diva, meaning Goddess.  For Tera, we have her species name being Desertum Album, making her “White Desert Goddess”. My initial thoughts when I saw her for the first time was “oh cool albino fairy” and i really rain with it in my design for her. I really like how her scales and lipstick contrast her pinkness.  Also, when it came to making the Hyrulean and Great fairies, I decided I wanted to go for a kind of mermaid-y thing with making their tops(?) more scaly looking and giving them fin ears instead of winged ears.  For Mija, her species name is Lacus Purpura, making her “Purple Lake Goddess”. I really really pushed it with the lake thing. I know she’s near the lake but she’s not exactly on the lake. Some of these names are a little bit of a stretch. For Kaysa, her species name is Mons Rosa, making her “Rose Mountain Goddess.” I know she’s more pink than a rose color but i think it fits. I wish i had changed the color of her eyeshadow, because it’s kind of hard to see and doesn’t really look good against her skintone so if I ever draw her again I intend to change it. And for Cotera, her species name is Valle Aureum, making her “Golden Valley Goddess”. She’s only a valley goddess because she’s right next to Kakiriko and they’re like, under the cliff her fountain is on. Whatever. Whatever. Again, wish I had changed her eyeshadow color to something softer. It’s just really kind of neon on her face. and it’s just too bright.  For the Hyrulean fairy, their species name is Lepidoteris, which is the order name for butterflies. or well. Lepidoptera is the order name. But yeah butterflies. Originally they *were* going to look more like butterflies but they just kinda look like bats to me now. They’re the size of butterflies, so I suppose that’s what counts?

Personality: Lara is loud, brash, confident and a ‘act first think later’ kind of person who’s a child at heart but wise in her mindset, She can’t really stay still for long so she’s usually out running about. She’s a leader, but if she has to follow someone she’ll back down- only to try and help lead later on-, She’s also a troublemaker with quite the reputation for stealing things she needs, but it’s how she was raised, she knows the streets and how to survive on them, more street smart than anything. Lara is also known to have a very foul mouth at times and can get snippy and sassy with some people; She’s also not keen on when people lie to her, something her father drilled into her head while he was still alive She truly cares about the people in her life and it shows more around that point, kind, stressed, and maybe a bit motherly to those who deserve it, Lara’s been through a lot and she tries not to let it show even if her facial expressions say otherwise. Especially with her arm being a casualty of events that happened in the past. Fears/phobias: Nyctophobia (Fear of the dark), Atychiphobia (Fear of failure), Thantophobia (extreme fear of death, whether or not if it is the idea of themselves dying or the loss of a loved one.)

Desertum

J'ai parfois l'impression d'appartenir au désert.

Là où la vie est impossible, inexistante, ou difficile.

J'ai l'impression d'appartenir à l'impossible. 

J'ai l'impression d'appartenir à l'invisible, au néant.

J'ai même l'impression de le désirer, ce désert. 

D'être attirer par ce vide si plein. Par ce vent.

J'aime ce rien qui contient tout. 

J'ai la sensation d'exister pour ce Rien. 

De frôler sans cesse des trous noirs qui pourraient m'aspirer.

J'ai parfois l'impression d'appartenir aux déserts, de n'être qu'un grain, qu'un flocon. 

Unique et invisible.

S.  URIS  < @desertums >                                --  PLOTTED.  

       he  could  feel  the  change  in  the  air,  something  that  hadn’t  happened  in  years  --  and  yet  it  was  almost  EXPECTED.  he  can’t  stop  that  familiar  feeling  of  fear,  of  terror  that  wells  up  in  his  chest  when  he  senses  him.  it’s  before  he  sees  him,  it  always  is.  the  whispers  almost  precluding  his  arrival  --  in  the  bathroom  of  places.  he  thanks  fate,  the  shining,  whatever  that  she  wasn’t  home  yet.  he  locks  the  door,  something  they  had  agreed  on  never  to  do.  hands  rest  on  the  sink,  clenching  the  porcelain  tight.  he  doesn’t  want  to  TURN  his  head,  to  truly  see.  but  as  usual,  he  needs  to,  and  then  he  does.

the  man  stands  taller  than  he,  below  his  knees  are  concealed  in  the  tub  but  there’s  a  𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘬 !  𝘛𝘐𝘕𝘒  !   of  water  coming  from  him.  he’s  soaked  through,  grey  and  blue,  dead  years  in  the  ground  -- eyes  washed  out.  tight  curls  hanging  with  the  weight  of  the  water.  however,  it’s  the  eyes  that  always  draw  him  in  and  yet  terrify  him  all  the  same.  and  yet,  he  can’t  LOOK  AWAY.  dan  buries  the  notion  to  refuse  this  contact.  he’s  here  for  a  reason,  and  then  he  dreads  why.  the  last  time  had  been  a  WARNING,  what  would  he  have  to  say  ?  a  damning,  a  cursing ?  a  further  clue  to  the  CAUTION  thrown  by  deenie  not  a  few  years  prior.  still,  habits  are  hard  to  quit.  he  whispers,  hoping  it’s  not  true,  that  the  ex-husband  of  his  current  girlfriend  wasn’t  present.  that  his  ghost,  his  corpse  wasn’t  standing  before  him.  there’s  no  conviction  in  his  voice  as  it  raises,  higher  --  more  childish.  “  false  face,  not  real. ”  

please,  just  this  once  let  him  be  right.  please,  let  him  not  have  to  lock  him  up.  still,  he  flexes  his  mind  --  box  at  the  ready.

"    christ   ,    jack    .    ”

she’s    been    patient    .    she’s    been    tolerant    .    she’s    spent    years    in    a    fraying    marriage    ,    waiting    for    him    to    get    a    grip    on    his    life    ,    dragged    down    into    near - constant    unhappiness    ,    all    because    she    loved    him    .    because    she    took    a    marriage    oath    ,    and    intended    to    keep    it    :    for    better    or    for    worse   .

  patty  still felt unsure on what to say, but she’s just been letting him talk. like she wouldn’t ever hear his voice again ━ and you know, it was almost that way. her dreams ? it had almost been like clockwork the way they had reunited; patty had wrapped his arms around her and in return, she was holding onto him like he would disappear. listening to everything he’s been saying through his chest. they’ve only talked about some things concerning his childhood , friends,  that  phone  call ... she was in truth, trying to work up the nerve to say something.  but again, patty was exhausted.  not tired enough though, to fall asleep here. she could ━ something settles in her chest and she shifts a little until she was facing him somewhat. 

reaching up with her hand, she softly pushes his hair back. trying to commit this to memory, him. “ I know  ━ it was like that for me too. “ it was true. this wasn’t something sweet she was trying to coat on just to make him feel better. their love was something patty never took lightly, it was almost impossible to do in the first place. in her youth patty had struggled with expressing how she felt  ━ it was always too much of one feeling. she wasn’t out of place, but just enough for someone to notice if they looked close enough. 

no one really did until that night at some college party, not like stanley did. but they don’t need to talk about the phone call. she couldn’t stomach conversation right now.  “ you know, I kinda had a dream about that .. turtle ? “ you’re not alone here.
