Alright, time to grab my nerd glasses… 🤓
The modern Hivewing species we know from the 3RD arc is technically a cross breed between Nightwings and “Beetlewings” a possible sub-species of Silkwings. All Hivewings can be distinguished by their black scales, most commonly found under their wings.
After the events of Darkstalker in the legends sub-series, Clearsight had flown across the ocean separating Pantala and Pyria, where she found love again with 2 un-named Beetlewings. (NOT AT THE SAME TIME, GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!!!)
After having a, quote “alarming” quantity of dragonets, the cross between their species was dubbed “Hivewings.”
And, now taking my nerd glasses off…
