[center][size=5][b]Requirements for Species [item=breed change: spiral][item=breed change: skydancer][item=breed change: nocturne] [/b][/size][/center] Within the species, there are a large variety of genes varying dragon to dragon, however the dragons observed to be most successful in their niche tend to have a smaller range of genes and colors. That is not to say that any color within this subspecies cannot be successful in their habitat, but utilizing their dark camouflage during the nights is a huge advantage for these dragons. These dragons can evolve from any element but are most commonly found amongst the wind and light flights, originating within wind.

Plenty of other dragons within the subspecies can be successful, but they may have to work a little harder to cultivate the same sized firefly flock or be equally as successful at hunts. The Ideal NSFs have a very small range, and are more recent generations of dragons, evolving the most fit genes and colors to fit their niche from their predecessors.

[/quote] [quote=Veilspun] something-something.. new ancient breed has been observed within the subspecies. These tricky little dragons very closely resemble the Ideal Night Sky firefliy look, however how their genes display themselves can vary widly. Utilizing their small size, some of these dragons don't actually have fireflies, but help pollinate flowers with their neighboring fireflies! There are a couple behavioural differences between the Pollinators and the xFireflies, however these don't necessarily line up with their patterning and both types have been observed pollinating and relaxing amongst the insects. Pollinators tend to show off the collected pollen in their genes, via flecks, runes, capsule, and opal; but these genes can manifest in any manner with this subspecies and the only true difference between the two are subtle behavioral traits that tend to vary from dragon to dragon. As the bright white color variation stands out much more brilliantly in the night, they have a tendency to stick close to other dragons with better camoflauge, and have a higher likelihood to become pollinators themselves, thanks in part to their varied diet.

They tend to be spontaneous, resembling an illness, and a temporary insatiable hunger that typically results in the dragon devouring it's own fireflies. It is presumed this hunger comes from the energy spent from days of illness and physical stress on the body, leading up to the full change. The differences between these two Mutations are gene and behaviour. The way these genes present themselves results in very different behaviour patterns. While both can be friendly, welcome additions to any lair, their genes caused them to adapt to different hunting habits. Of course, this all depends on the environment these dragons end up in, as with any dragon, and their personalities can vary widely as a result. Certain environments these dragons may not naturally gravitate towards, can lead them to develop completely different personalities entirely. [Quote= Brightbane Mutation] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/64033287][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/640333/64033287_350.png[/img][/url] The Brightbane, or Bribane for short, start life as a dark chick. Both of the Banescale mutations are indistinguishable after transformation. Not long after turning, however, Bribanes begin to show aposematism- striking colors that ward off predators. Their scales begin to display bright yellows, reds, and other bright markings. This has led them to become less ferocious than their Nightfly counterparts. While they both lost their fireflies, the bright colors of the Bribane help with keeping predators out of their territory. Their ferocious appearance can be seen through the nightly fog which protects them while they sleep. There is no need to fight for territory or defend yourself from predators when you appear poisonous.

Requirements for Species
Breed Change: Spiral Breed Change: Skydancer Breed Change: Nocturne
Within the species, there are a large variety of genes varying dragon to dragon, however the dragons observed to be most successful in their niche tend to have a smaller range of genes and colors.

That is not to say that any color within this subspecies cannot be successful in their habitat, but utilizing their dark camouflage during the nights is a huge advantage for these dragons.

These dragons can evolve from any element but are most commonly found amongst the wind and light flights, originating within wind.

The ideal Night Sky Fireflies, are the most naturally successful gene and color combo within the flock. Plenty of other dragons within the subspecies can be successful, but they may have to work a little harder to cultivate the same sized firefly flock or be equally as successful at hunts.

The Ideal NSFs have a very small range, and are more recent generations of dragons, evolving the most fit genes and colors to fit their niche from their predecessors.

something-something.. new ancient breed has been observed within the subspecies. These tricky little dragons very closely resemble the Ideal Night Sky firefliy look, however how their genes display themselves can vary widly.

Utilizing their small size, some of these dragons don't actually have fireflies, but help pollinate flowers with their neighboring fireflies! There are a couple behavioural differences between the Pollinators and the xFireflies, however these don't necessarily line up with their patterning and both types have been observed pollinating and relaxing amongst the insects.

Pollinators tend to show off the collected pollen in their genes, via flecks, runes, capsule, and opal; but these genes can manifest in any manner with this subspecies and the only true difference between the two are subtle behavioral traits that tend to vary from dragon to dragon.

As the bright white color variation stands out much more brilliantly in the night, they have a tendency to stick close to other dragons with better camoflauge, and have a higher likelihood to become pollinators themselves, thanks in part to their varied diet.

Founder Descendants wrote:

Descendants of Lampyris and Noctiluca, the species founders. Due to how successful the subspecies has become with camoflauge, the direct descendants of the founders have a harder time competing. Through the years, the species itself has become nothing but the smaller ranged ideal dragons. The only less successful, or 'full range' colors of the species are direct descendants of the founders.

Banescale Mutation
Eliminate Breed Change: Banescale Firefly


There are two mutations within the Night Sky Fireflies, though nobody is quite sure how or why these mutations happen. They tend to be spontaneous, resembling an illness, and a temporary insatiable hunger that typically results in the dragon devouring it's own fireflies. It is presumed this hunger comes from the energy spent from days of illness and physical stress on the body, leading up to the full change.

The differences between these two Mutations are gene and behaviour.

The way these genes present themselves results in very different behaviour patterns. While both can be friendly, welcome additions to any lair, their genes caused them to adapt to different hunting habits.

Of course, this all depends on the environment these dragons end up in, as with any dragon, and their personalities can vary widely as a result. Certain environments these dragons may not naturally gravitate towards, can lead them to develop completely different personalities entirely.
Brightbane Mutation wrote:

64033287_350.png

The Brightbane, or Bribane for short, start life as a dark chick. Both of the Banescale mutations are indistinguishable after transformation. Not long after turning, however, Bribanes begin to show aposematism- striking colors that ward off predators.
Their scales begin to display bright yellows, reds, and other bright markings.

This has led them to become less ferocious than their Nightfly counterparts.

While they both lost their fireflies, the bright colors of the Bribane help with keeping predators out of their territory. Their ferocious appearance can be seen through the nightly fog which protects them while they sleep. There is no need to fight for territory or defend yourself from predators when you appear poisonous.
If they aren't around unmutated NSFs to benefit off the many animals that attempt to eat the fireflies, they opt to hunt in the early morning, their colors being obscured by the blinding sunrise, or later in the evening with the same advantage during the twilight sunset.

As such, these Banescales tend to be more relaxed, lazy, and friendly.

Sometimes this aggression will bleed into their personality as a result.

Naming Conventions: Each baby is named after something relating to a firefly, as well as various lights and even stars! If it illuminates, it is fair game!
Many are simply firefly in another language!
Any Starmap babies may either be of the firefly names, or various constellations (like Mayu and Yutu).
This is not necessary, but traditional among the subspecies. These dragons believe that by naming their pups after their flies, and other great sources of light, it will strengthen their bond with their flies earlier on and help their offspring shine brightly themselves.
