SilkWings are a species of butterfly-based dragon from Wings of Fire.
Description[]

Adaptations[]
SilkWings can use the antennae on their heads to detect vibrations in their surroundings to assess threats.
SilkWings have a gland within their wrist that produces silk that can they can spin. A mutation in this can result in silk that has the properties of fire, and this is known as "flamesilk".
Territory[]
The SilkWings live on Pantala, the second continent of the Dragon Planet. Before and during arc 3 (book 11-15), the SilkWings lived in a dystopian society known as "the Hives" in which they were second-class citizens. After the events of book 15, the SilkWings live alongside the LeafWings in the LeafSilk Kingdom, which makes up the southern half of Pantala.
