I'm assuming the here be dragons is from the dragonslayer book but dear lord it's hilarious. Just "here be dragons" should be the new name of pyrrhia
Correct it is from Dragonslayer I love it. "Here be dragons" should be Pyrrhia and "Here be different dragons" should be Pantala.
LMAO YES-
@@Snek86 agreed 👹🍝 [aggressive spaghetti eating noises]
yes
here be dragons?
I seriously hope Tui writes a Legends book on the history of this tribe, her lore is interesting and I'd love to learn even more.
Agreed
I think there should be a miniseries called “The Detailed Guide To The ________” and it gives history of certain tribes, like RainWings, SkyWings, SandWings, and more. I know that at the beginning of the book, there is a brief guide, but these books give deeper information, like royalty, history, habits, dragons, and more.
@@raeyacreates I think a book like that is coming out this summer.
I remember hearing that she did wanna make a winglet on it
RainWings def won't get a Legends book, Legends books are once per arc and only for explaining the events that led to the arc (e.g. Darkstalker's era to Arc 2) and Arc 3 is def gonna get a Legends book on the Scorching
I give them a 9/10 Bc of how they were so not caring for what happened to others in the 3d book but over all my favorite tribe on the contenet
I think it's just that they weren't bothered for so long that they just stopped noticing stuff
I think, based off their anatomy, they are way to overpowered, and could possibly force the other tribes to obey. They already have night wings under their control, meaning they’d have 5 tribes to conquer. They could swiftly force the sea wings to stay under the sea, which will (as proven by tsunami’s and turtle’s POV) would drive them insane and force them to the upper grounds once in a while, where they’d either be killed or forced into submission. The ice wings can now be invaded, especially after the events of book 14. The rain wings could hypothetically use night wing fire to warm them up as they take the ice wings by force next, leaving mud wings, sand wings and sky wings. Sky wings are fast, but it is proven that they can easily cave under the rain wing queens army at that point. Then, the mud wings. If they conquer the mud wings, which should be an easy task unless the sand wings can give them aid, they can surround the sand wings on all sides. Keep in mind it would take a simple duel for a rain wing to win the eye of onyx as it was never featured to only be for sand wings. Rain wings can conquer the tribes pretty easily. That would leave future Pantala, when the place is (hopefully) banished of the othermind. The rain wings would have the map across the sea, and well, three tribes against seven wouldn’t be fantastic odds. All of a sudden, rain wings rule all. That was if they had ruthless minds. Overall, I believe tui made them a little too powerful, so they get a 6/10 for me.
I love rainwings. They’re pretty, have interesting lore, and have their overpowered ness compensated for by laziness and isolation (well, for the most part)
I'm so glad Glory came and took the queen role and taught them how to read and write and keep better track of eggs and help with the NightWings. Im so glad their taking better care of themselves and being more active like the other tribes.
Rain wings are basically my favorite tribe so far , might change when I read arc 3
Rainfall? I didn’t know you were on yt :)
@@blink997 sorry but who are you again ? I am terrible at names and forget a lot . Again , sorry
@@luminescentmoth9282 bullrush :))
I also like rainwings and would give them a 10/10. But, I also like seawings and they're at the same place as rainwings.
@@carlenepoole8322 nice ! Seawings are very interesting and I do like them ! I would put them at a 10/10 just because of how different and interesting they are
naming system you forgot is tropical (i think)
fruits like Coconut and Pineapple. just remembered!
Man, imagine being with who you thought was the love of your life, you decide to have a dragonet together and before doing.. dragon stuff.. you try the venom test and find out they're your brother! Must be a bit awkward lmao.
To be fair
Most don't do love.
@@lahlybird895 RainWings in a nutshell:
We don't do families
We don't do palaces
We don't do royalty
We don't do love
We don't do royal challenges
We don't do caring
We don't do reading
We don't do writing
We don't do math
We don't do scrolls
We don't do death
We don't do unvegetarianism
We don't do breathing
@@chronicwasp lol
I can imagine that the other queens are absolutely terrified of Glory. More than just the unprecedented fact that she is the queen of two tribes.
She shows up out of nowhere and attacks the Skywing queen, resulting in her disappearance and Ruby ascending the throne. She shows up again a short time later to stage a coup in the rainforest and then immediately afterwards pursues a military expedition against the Nightwings, seemingly resulting in the death of their queen and the displacement of their people. Then, as a Dragonet of Destiny she played a role in determining who rules the Sandwings.
That's quite an ambitious foreign policy, and I'm sure questions would be asked when the Pantala dragons showed up, such as 'what would be the consequences if they resettled (even temporarily) in the rainforest?' and 'Does she want to be the queen of four tribes now?'

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT PEOPLE!
the rainwings probably were excluded from the war because their venom, camouflage, and sleeping darts would make them an undefeatable enemy. Plus, the wiki says they were more threatening back then.
This has to be my favorite hystory vid and tribe of them all. I love how they really tried to get into the other socal stuff when glory came in. Keep it up!
Omg I love this series, it’s nice to get a recap of the story once in a while
I love how when Glory showed up the queens were "dazzling" "grandeur" and then there's just "fruit bat"
The Rainwings are by far one of my favorite tribes in the series. Admittedly it is partially because they have one of my favorite characters as their queen. But I also like their abilities, sure it isn't breathing fire, but instant camouflage and an acidic spit are no laughing matter (and the best way to maintain those powers, Afternoon sleeping!).
The only thing that frustrates me is their carefree attitude towards EVERYTHING! little to no care for family, the happenings outside their borders, and at one point even their tribe itself! But I'm holding out hope that best queen will whip them into shape as a society, while, of course, keeping the better aspects of the tribe intact.
I really wish for a book dedicated to how Glory rules over two entire tribes, it would be so interesting how the two cultures would clash as well as influence one another. I also wonder how the other queens would feel knowing that Glory achieved the impossible of not only ruling over multiple tribes (a wet dream for most I'm sure) but all but conquered the ever-elusive Nightwing tribe of all things!
Point is, despite the necessity of being lazy every now and then, it is a very interesting time to be a Rainwing.
Now I’m wondering though: If sleeping under the sun gives a RainWing the ability to change the colour of their scales, how come Glory is able to do it when she was raised under a mountain with no sun? Wouldn’t she be exactly like Chameleon?
Idk if this is just a plot hole or something I misunderstood, what do you think?
THATS A GOOD POINT!
I think she got sunlight through the hole in the ceiling of their cave
I think their abilities are based more on how much sleep they get, because Chameleon didn't get his midday nap and lost his ability to camouflage, but Glory had her midday naps after lunch and she changes colors all the time. Additionally, Chameleon had full access to sunlight while Glory only had the skyhole.
However, sunlight does still affect their scales because according to Liana, Glory has 'mousy' scales, but Chameleon is never said to have dull scales, I don't think. And sunlight also affects their other abilities, as in venom, because Glory couldn't use venom until after she was exposed to sunlight, and it also affects their energy and moods (but NOT their personalities.)
Long story short, sleeping is likely more vital to camouflage and color change, but sunlight is the factor that makes venom-shooting and better moods possible.
There was a hole in the cave kinda like a sky light
FACT: Rainwings CAN change the color of their eyes, as Tui told a fan online. If you don't believe me, look it up. If you still don't believe me, (if you have it) Look at the Hidden Kingdom graphic novel. Go on page 27. Glory has teal-green eyes. Now go to page 20, Glory has red eyes. Now go to page 89. Glory now has dark blue eyes. Go to page 143. Amber eyes? Its not JUST Glory. on page 143 you can also see kinkajou has pink-magenta eyes. Go to page 146, kinkajou has really dark purple eyes. I don't think this is a mistake, how could the illustrator 'mess up' the eye colors so many times. Because Rainwings can change the eye colors, not sure HOW this works, but it is odd.
honestly, i had no idea rainwings tested to see if they were related to prevent inbreeding. i just thought they took a wild guess and hoped they werent related lmao.
;-; have you READ the book???
I also forgot, because I haven't reread book 3 in while, but thankfully this video reminded me.
@@bluejaythehusky7553 yes, but 1. its been a while 2. im an idiot and 3. i knew they could test to see if theyre related, but i didnt know they did that before breeding to prevent inbreeding
I’m pretty sure Beetlewings and Leafwings actually evolved from RainWings, but that’s just a theory.
Without going into to much detail I believe there was a original dragon tribe that first split into SkyWings, Beatlewings and the mudwing. And eventually when the RainWings evolved some of them became leafwings.
That is a possibility! in Sundew's book Sequoia says that beetlewings and/or leawings once had venomous fangs, and in the guide they are said to absorb sunlight, much like the rainwings
I think that there were element tribes (Fire, Ice, Earth, Water, Night, Day) and eventually merged or changed in time to become the dragons we know today. RainWings are a mutated version of Day and Earth combined.
Your theory is possible as well.
A dragon theory.
Aand cut.
Rainwings are my FAVORITE TRIBE!!!
Cant wait! I love rainwings!
Rainwings! The ever so magical tribe with magical death spit
Glory would like to see you. (Joke)

There will be more close up :>
Soon...
I appreciate the fact that you didn’t actually say that Kinkajou GAVE the strawberry to DarkStalker, because FoeSlayer did but Kinkajou wrote the spell.
Rainwings are Op they literally take over the continent if they wanted to
Nightwing mind readers would be a big thorn in their side, and they’d have trouble on Pantala because of Leafspeaks and the antennae of Silkwings.
@@carrott36 But Nightwings work with Rainwings now
@@lykhra2178 I don't think the night wings would want that after the whole Darkstalker conundrum
@@lykhra2178 yes, but Fierceteeth and a few NightWings want to be under rule of a pure NightWing. They despise Glory.
I love this closer look series :D
I'm making a fanfiction about Grandeur's life before the series, so this helped a lot.
Thank you for going over the history of Rainwings! They are my favourite tribe.
I think my fav part of the book was when Winter went to their tribe and got to see the younger Rainwings who were so fascinated by Winter being an Icewing that they were trying to look like him. Its just cool cuz they weren't just trying to get the color right but the scales and the way his tail looked. I imaging in their prime they might have done this in the past, try to look almost identical to another tribe.
OMG!!!! This is the first vid I watched from your channel, AND IT'S *AMAZING!!!* You just explained more W.O.F. books than I've read in under 8 minutes! _HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD AT THIS??_ :OOO
Yooo I hope this is gonna be absolutely stellar like all the rest
Basically the rainwings are actually the most fun tribe ever they don't do bloodshed like almost every tribe that's what I like about them ^v^
Please do A Closer Look on LeafWings. LeafWings are my favorite tribe and I want to learn more about them! 😂😂😂🌿🌿🍃
I'll do every tribe eventually, but right now I'm saving the Pantalan tribes for after the third arc wraps up
@@CharcoalsDen Okay
Remember this you Dragons and Dragonets ( you guys )! :
Gold scales : Happy or Excited
Yellow scales : Amused or Surprised
Lavender scales : Delighted
Pink-rose scales : Joyful, happy ( Like Jambu ), or in love ( also like Jambu )
*Unless a dragon is really light pink - that might mean they’re embarrassed.*
(“And in love, I hear that sometimes those two go together!” ) - Jambu
Blue Scales : Curious, calm, tranquil
*Though if they turn cyan, they’re concentrating, and light blue scales can mean a dragon is sad.*
*Now, for BASICS :*
Red scales : Angry
Orange scales : Irritated or Frustrated
Green scales : Usually means a dragon feels pretty bad, whether they’re the dark green of distress or the acid green of shock/disbelief or the pale green of being scared.
Purple scales : a range of emotions from guilty to proud - usually *DARK PURPLE* is a guiltier feeling, while *LIGHTER VIOLET* color is closer to pride.
Orangey-purple scales : Confused
White scales : In pain or sick
Brown scales : Stressed out
Dark grey scales : Means a dragon feels sorrowful, while a *BLUE-GREY* dragon feels depressed, and a dragon with *BLACK SCALES* is deeply upset, possibly furious or hating something.
*ALL OF THIS CANON AND OFFICIAL INFORMATION IS FROM AN OFFICIAL WOF BOOK. THE NAME OF THE BOOK IS “ Wings of Fire : A Guide to the Dragon World “. HOPE THIS HELPED! ( I typed this cause there’s a lot of people who get confused and say “ Wait what’s this color mean? “ or “ What’s this again? “, so just to clarify! + all this is official. Tui T. Sutherland wrote it herself. )*
that moment when you get out of school at 3:00
Btw they don’t have to sleep in the sun because well Glory. They do however, have to sleep in the sun to have the magical death spit. And you forgot to mention that they are vegetarians/ vegan (but we don’t know if they are vegan for sure) and that they have sloths as pets.
no? They don't need to sleep in the sun for their venom literally this is mentioned no where? It's naturally their whether they get sun or not however, they do need Sun-Times to change color. Because chameleon is unable to get a proper sleep schedule and unable to partake in sun time he cannot change his colors. That's literally can lore.
@@enderwalkgang Glory never had her venom under the caves and this was literally mentioned book 1. And how did she change colour without sun if they need it to change colour? Also, Chameleon had a snout defect so he couldn’t sleep for more than an hour at a time. Liana said too that they need sun time to brighten their scales not to change them.
@@death_hoarder No? It's not? She just didnt use her venom. I've checked the wiki and scanned the book. That's not true, and you clearly misread some source, it's true for how they change color, and the cave had a run roof, but they deemed it too small to fly through. She also mostly shades of green with fades to other colors.
Unless you can literally mention where it says in book one where it's mention, your flat out wrong.
@@enderwalkgang after the attack on scarlet, she was asked about why she never did that in the past, and the response was she never new she could. The dragonets agreed that the only possible explanation was she had never been exposed to the sunlight before, similar to how clay gained his fireproof scales after being exposed to mud for the first time.
*Fun fact : Tamarin is actually based off of jay feather from warrior cats.*
Really? two of my favorite series, interesting
how lmao ?? because theyre both blind?
@@moonlobotomy9061 Nooooo, because they're both dolphins.
1:26 imagine just finding out your mate is your sibling, that would be traumatizing
Small error in the video! Kinkajou wasn’t the one to give darkstalker the strawberry it was actually foeslayer/hope kinkajou only did the enchantment it’s a common mandala effect in the fandom
This is beautifully and perfectly explained, but i do not think you explained what color means what emotion, but overall perfect, and cool!
Either a good night’s sleep, or a fresh new charcoal premiere...
I know which one I choose
@@tytoons8691 I think everybody know which one to pick
@@voltbolt2316 A fresh new charcoal premiere!
@@Alwayssadrottmntfan yea lets go!
Charcoal premiere, higher quality and in-depth
yay!!!!! but can you do do seawings please?
:0 you put my fanart in the video thank you @Wings of Charcoal jklw hdnkjwehl
I cant wait! Finally, another closer look!
You forgot the part where Rainwings have sloths as pets.
This dude is amazing he admits admitted he made a mistake instead of hiding it that is a rare a good trait to have
I think what people forget about RainWings is that there were probably inspired from the Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus (Novel and Film) I mean come on, A Frill and Black Venom/Magical Death Spit, sounds similar to a Dilo
All other dragon kingdoms on the continent: heretical monarchys.
The Rain Kingdom:
lotocracatic oligarchy!
rain-wings can also be named after fruit like mango!
Mango, pineapple, and coconut if I remember correctly.
@@NapaCat Don't forget Jambu!
Important question, would my original dragon species be too much like RainWing both because of the frill and flammable black substance? Just wondering.
Not really. If they're not Rainwings then they're not Rainwings
And if people try to compare your species to Wings of Fire, then don't listen to them. It's your dragon species and you can do what you please with it
I made dragon species, too, ever since I’ve started reading these books. I’ve made StormWings, ThunderWings (which are related to StormWings), and a spring dragon.
dragons with frills is a rather common design trope for dragons. The one identifying traits for rainwings is that their scales are a multitude of colors. So as long as you keep the colors consistent, it shouldn't be mistaken for the other.
Tamarin: Gets bombed
WoC: Skips it
You forgot to mention the pet sloths!
Glory is the only queen that rules two tribes thank you for doing this video Glory for ever
I have an idea for a discussion video a guide to training emotional colors
thanks for putting my art here (i was Garnet in your discord server, but my dad wont let me change my gmail name >:( ) 6:42 i swore i would not steal art.
It's funny that rain wings are one of the strongest dragon tribe even though there the most passive and most immature dragon tribe
You also forgot to mention that the rainwings used to be feared assassins.
can you do seawings next if you didnt do them?
Does anybody else want to rain wing Ice wing hybrid or any other kind of rain-wing hybrid
OMG THANKS SO MUCH FOR DOING THE FANART I MADE! (My fanart is the username chip) i thought you wouldnt. *-EeEeEe-*
edit: 7:03 is mine
That’s amazing!
It looks ugly now👁👁
And all RainWings have a different normal color of scales that they have most of the time
Can you please do seawings next??
why do i see chameleon being mandela catalogue themed whenever i hear his story?
Ahhhh, my art showed up in the vid!!!
this raies a question... how can Glory change her scles if she doesent see sun?
Kinkajou is best dragon, CHANGE MY MIND!
No
She is ONE of my favorites.
@@raeyacreates Who are the others
5:46. turn on captions. ''dark soccer''
In a part of the video you said there are nine dragon tribes, there are ten
1 Sky, 2 sea, 3 sand, 4 ice, 5 mud, 6 rain, 7 night, 8 silk, 9 leaf, and 10 hive.
Ten today, but keep in mind the history of the SilkWings and HiveWings
If you count Silkwings, Beetlewings and Hivewings all as different tribes, that makes 11.
My point is that at the time, it was only nine. The BeetleWings hadn’t been split into Silk and Hive yet
@@CharcoalsDen tru
how was glory able to change color under the mountain if rainwings need sunlight for their scales to be able to change color
RainWings are my favorite tribe
One time, a long time ago I made an oc of a rain wing named pinapple, and in book 14 the rain wing was named pinapple...
oop-
Hold up when he said that they start a pale green color and turn colors from sleeping in SUNLIGHT for a long time then how did Glory change colors since there was little sunlight in the cave?
when it comes to wings of fire tribes you have your opinion I have mine I like the rain wings the best
I just realize that rainwings can change scale colour so they can make your scales invisible but how do they make your eyes mouth and horns invisible
Close mouth, eyes, and I’m not sure about th rest. Logic ig
I was wondering Can rainwings turn invisible or just camouflage
It's just camouflage
What if one day the rainwing
ightwing tribe an entirely different tribe since eventually the nightwings will warm up to the rainwings
I vote on calling them ShimmerWings.
HERE BE DRAGONS lol love it
They also used to be aggressive in the past.
*magical death spit
Can I just say one thing, Rainwings have the BIGGEST, SHINIEST, MOST ANIME LIKE eyes of all the tribes in the world
The rain forest is my favorite kingdom in Pyrrhia, but the RainWings aren't my favorite tribe.
if Cameleon was Peril's father, wouldn't Peril be a hybrid? rainwing X skywing?
If Rainwings need sunlight to change color then how does Glory change color since she grew up underground?🤔🤔🤨
*HERE BE DRAGONS*
rainwings are cool
Continent of Pyrrhia? Nononono, we call it continent of Here be Dragons instead!
(Inspired by amNein)
Um if Dragonets Have to sleep in the sun to get their ability to change color how come glory can change color but with stuck under a mountain
4:04 wait... if chameleon is a rain wing disguised as arain wing named soar is peril a rain wing rain wing
No, I think it was specifically said in the books that for all intensive purposes, Soar had and gave pure Skywing blood.
SHOOT I MISSED IT (Pun inteanded XD)
What pun; shoot as in shoot venom?
This is the first charcoal vid
Anyone else really wanna see a winglet from a rainwing merchant in darkstalker time?
Yes!
No one mentions that HOW glory have colour changing scales??? Theres no Way she slept that Many unter that little hole. She trapped UNDER A MOUNTAIN
"with no Sun" As she said too
Excuse me, but I think I'm the only one who caught this. 2:33 , you said.. 9? 9 Tribes? which are the other 2?!?!? ( unless you mean beetlewings and leafwings )
Yes, that’s what I meant
@@CharcoalsDen Thanks for replying!
I JUST DECIDED TOO KEEP WATCHING BUT THE SPOILERS HAVE STRIKED ONCE MORE
Update on rainwing history because book 15
Pineapple, The dragon sent by Glory, Is Jambu's Boyfriend (Yeeesss more representation)
They travel across the ocean to Pantala and encounter Wasp's Minions. Half of them are camouflaged due to Sundew's use of the Gift Of Stealth, but Ultimately a Camouflaged Moon, And a Normal Qibli,Tsunami and Pineapple are captured.
Later Pineapple was taken over by CottenMouth and Lizard/Freedom (The minds of the Breath of Evil- Also cottenmouth started the scorching, read the book to know) by drinking a cup of liquid offered to him infected with the plant.
Later Wasp has them trapped in vines and a hivewing (crickets father, Malcilite) Trys to cut some of the vines before being taken back over.
Pineapple uses his venom on Wasp and some other hivewings and they escape
Later his mind is taken over by cottenmouth during the destruction of the plant.
A few weeks later the continets have dragons flying back and fourth, and Luna has taken inspiration by the Rainforest to help create the SilkLeaf kingdom. Wasp and her sisters are also imprisoned and Jewel (I think it was her) is now Hive Queen.
It was jewel
The whole thing is just a big mess
With rainwings I’ve always been pretty unhappy with the plot beat that with very few exceptions the negative stereotypes about the entire tribes are like . . . Basically correct, or at least used as fact by the narrative. The idea that rainwings are just as intelligent as the rest of the tribes but no one ever wanted to read or write is very strange to me. Honestly I love the idea of ancient rainwings though.
Please do a better seawing one
there r gust 7 tribes
I agry
I’m beast so I can’t say my fav tribe
I thought a tamarin was a fruit. Maybe it’s also an animal..?
I think tamarins are monkeys.
@@avastoyboxandarcade Yes, like golden lion tamarins
Tamarins are monkeys. You may have been thinking about tangerines?
