My Beetlewing design theory
I would like to offer an analysis of my vision of the Beetlewings (No biology, by the way, I don't understand it)
For the most part, all the details are described in the first picture.
First, I identified similar elements in the Nightwings (the parent tribe) and the Hivewings with the Silkwings (descendants with the parent's genes). I highlighted the elements in color. Next, I determined which parts could have been obtained from the Night, and which from the Beetlewings according to the principle:
If the part is present in Silk and Hive, but not in Night, then it is from Beetle. (Because it could not have been obtained in any other way)
If the part is present in one of the descendants and in Night, then this part is from Night. (Because if Beetle had it, it would have been passed on to all descendants)
If the part is present in everyone, then it is probably from both parents, but this can no longer be known for sure without the Beetlewing ref.
If the detail is only in one of the descendants, then it is from the Beetle. (Because it could not have been obtained in any other way)
As a result, based on the data I received, I assembled the Beetlewing. I do not claim to be true, because in theory, dragons could evolve and gain their abilities, but I consider only from the point of view of design details, which, in theory, are passed on to descendants during hybridization.
I would also like to tell you why I think Peregrinecella's vision is incorrect:
I analyzed Her design because it was one of the first and was ingrained in many people's minds.
Skin belly. Then it would have been passed on to Hive, but they have plates on their belly.
No horn on the forehead. Where did Hive get it from then?
Smooth, even horns. Why are they curved and striped in the descendants?
Strange scales on the neck. Why do the descendants not have them?
2 Rows of scales. Where did the descendants get the third one from then. We can pull it up, like a mutation after the Night, but it doesn't seems logical to me.
Scales on the paws. They resemble the scales of the Hive, but then why are the scales of the Silk different (and not similar to the Night) and besides, it doesn't have an additional row.
Pattern of circles. It would have been passed on to the Hive, because it would have mixed with the pattern of the Night.
Wings. These are probably elytra, like those of beetles, but in my opinion, after hybridization, they would either disappear or remain just as small, and not turn into a second pair of wings. + The wings themselves are opaque, then why are they transparent on the Hive.
Despite this, by the way, I also like to draw elytra on the Beetlewings, but in the form of a third pair of "wings", simply as an illogical design element.
Here's such a long post. What do you think about it?
