The NightWings after the eruption were forced to live in the Rainforest away from the RainWings in the NightWing Village. This plan failed however as the Dragonets of Destiny were released early, Glory, a former RainWing captive, rose to the queen position and declared an invasion of the island, and eventually the volcano erupting during the event. This prompted Queen Battlewinner and Morrowseer to make up a prophecy that forced the princess they picked, Blister, to give them RainWing land after they helped her win the war. This eventually lead to the sealing of Darkstalker and the First Exodus of NightWings.Įventually the NightWings would be forced to live on a small island with a low prey population and an active volcano which eventually, sometime during the War of SandWing Succession, would break half of the fortress. This left the IceWings, specifically Queen DIamond, to assume they'll no longer have animus genes in the future.Īs Darkstalker hatched and began to cause problem, the relationship between the two tribes became worse before eventually Darkstalker would publicly kill Arctic. This was due to the fact that Arctic, being an animus, brought the animus magic genes over to the NightWings. However due to Clearsight and Arctic eventually falling in love, a NightWing-IceWing War began. The queen planned on making an alliance between the IceWings and NightWings, sending off Prudence, bringing along her daughter Clearsight due to a prediction, Discretion and Starclaws.

While full blood moons can allow mind-readers to project their thoughts.ĭuring the times of Darkstalker, NightWings appeared to be a wealthy tribe. Weak moonlight either caused by placement or obstructions grant weaker powers such as mind-reading in Fatespeaker's case. The powers can vary in strength from the amount or type of moon light received. One full moon grants mind-reading and prophecy-receiving powers. They can gain powers from full moons depending on the type and amount. NightWings are nocturnal and can beathe fire. Mind readers have silver teardrop scales by the corners of their eyes. NightWings can melt into shadows and blend into the night sky due to their colors and wing patterns. NightWings have been described with black, dark blue, dark brown, purple, or dark green eyes. Their wings have silver scales scattered across them like the stars of a night sky, forming different patterns. They also have silver, white, gray, purple, dark green, or blue underbellies, and dapples of silver scales running along their necks. They have been described to have forked, pitch-black tongues, as well as dark scales which are usually black or in shades of dark green, blue, or purple. Fans of the feature should really love this short but even if you're not familiar with it there's enough entertainment here for two movies and this comes highly recommended.NightWings are based on monitor lizards. I can't (or won't) spoil the ending with what happened to the dragons but it was quite funny and especially the aftermath. I thought the look of the film was exception and especially the scenes where the dragons are flying around.
#Night fury professional#
I've often felt that some of the shorts look their smaller budgets but that certainly wasn't the case here because the look was quite professional and right on target with the original film. I thought the visual style of the film was also a lot better quality than what we've seen in some of the shorts from the studio. A lot of this is due to the terrific screenplay, which comes up with a very entertaining story full of wonder, imagination and action. DRAGONS: GIFT OF THE NIGHT FURY is without question one of the better shorts that Dreamworks have released over the years. The children of the village set out to try and locate them and see what's going on.
