Here's a phylogenetic diagram including some of my headcanons regarding the evolution of the tribes. Also threw in a bunch of my own fan tribes because why not. (Now that I'm looking at it, this could probably be connected to an au)

Some random related notes:

Reefwings, Trenchwings, Shorewings, and Echowings are all subspecies of the Seawing. While Shorewings are the most common and have the largest above-water population, all four can be considered Seawings, and thus would be able to become part of the royal family if they were to marry or bee born into it. Queen Coral herself is actually a cross between Reefwing and Shorewing. All four subspecies can be found all over the ocean, but they are mostly concentrated near the continents.

Darkwings and Starwings are two subspecies of the Nightwing that evolved as a result of the tribe splitting between two locations. Darkwings evolved from the Nightwings located in renewal, and Starwings evolves from the Nightwings located in the rainforest as a result of breeding with Rainwings.

Due to the fact that they share a close common ancestor in the Flamewing, both Skywings and Sandwings have a chance to be born with firescales, due to their fire being naturally hotter than other tribes.

I don't really have anything else to say lol. Have a nice day!

Lakewings!

I came up with this tribe about a year and a half ago? But anyways, Lakewings!

They lived long before the Scorching, when humans still lived on earth (assuming pyrrhia is on earth). These dragons lived in deep lakes and rivers. They stayed hidden for as long as they could, but one was spotted one time on the western side of Scotland, and became known as “Nessie” to the humans. They are the ancestors of Seawings, after they evacuated to the oceans when the scorching began. They evolved to thrive in oceanic waters.

Physical stuff:

Eyes: They have night vision, but it is even stronger than the Seawings’. They live in some of the deepest parts of lakes/rivers, and only return to the surface at night. 

Body structure: They have very long bodies, reaching up to the length of a full grown Mudwing. Their tails make up most of it, however. They are powerful for swimming in shallow and deep waters. Their legs are long and thick, which make it easier to grab certain unsuspecting prey out of holes in the ground. Their necks are average length, about the size of a Sandwing’s. They have long, streamlined snouts making it easier to swim faster. Here’s the catch: They don’t have wings. They are meant to swim and stay in the water. 

That’s all I’ve got for them right now, so I might send you more when I can.

Interesting the are called “lakewings” (with no wings) But, still valid! Since you put the “softcritique” tag, I’ll give a softened opinion! I think the fact that you based them off off the Loch Ness Monster is awesome. (someone do godzilla next) The thought you put into the tribe makes it super enjoyable to you, and since 11/10 is technically 1.1, you get a 10/10. Good thought, good resources, good background, but one question- this must be on a different continent- because the lake where Nessie supposedly lives is nowhere near Pyrriah, (in my knowledge) so that leaves us with yet another Lost Continent! Sounds cool to me, very valid! Thank you @drippywing for your submission!
