Lost Queen : I was asleep during all of this, so I cannot speak from personal experience. But from the things I heard, from what Cynder told me, I know for a fact it was undead magic. I had no idea Malefor was undead during his time in Kurosia; he very well could have not been, and him becoming this ‘Undead King’ could be linked to the fall of my city. I only know of Dark, Aura and Blood Magics, Undead is… foreign to me. Being undead makes it so much easier to manipulate with dark magic, and with Cynder hatching as an undead… I can only imagine it. He had her by her very soul since the day she broke free from her shell, that… is how he controlled her.

I have seen depictions of her whilst under his manipulation… and it churns my stomach. She is stunning, but after knowing the truth of it sickens me. 

The Nictitating Membrane is a transparent third eyelid seen in most dragons. It is used to protect the dragon’s eyes while in flight from wind and debris.
Like Hysteria, Havok has fully functional nictitating eyelids. They can be seen many times after he blinks, and every once in a while one of them won’t draw back, causing the hybrid slight annoyance as he blinks a few times to fix it. He cannot control them as they naturally close over for protection for when he flies, bright lights flash, or when he’s about to breathe fire. He can still see just fine when they slide over. 

Hysteria also has the third pair of eyelids, but hers are more rarely seen as they appear to slide back more quickly than Havoks. They also seem to be thinner and less noticeable. 

OOC : I’ve always loved imagining Havok blinking and his third pair of eyelids sliding over his eyes ;u; I adore seeing them with owls and reptiles, so I made not just Hov but Hysteria and the Queen have them too. I was in a little bit of a block, so I had some fun and did a wee little animation. Enjoy!

[…]It is said that after many a broken clutch, the gods finally smiled down on the King and Queen, gifting them with a single egg. Some say that the other children did not survive as the gods were too busy sculpting the beauty and grace that was the First Heir, the sweet princess of a young kingdom. Bearing scales of ink and heart of gold, the young Yinvaht quickly captured the hearts of her subjects, and kept a firm grip until the day she died. Born with gleaming white Kuronium and innocent eyes of emerald, all around her were simply enchanted. The ancestors did sing her name as she ascended to the throne, Princess Blaire, the fairest of all maidens.

She may seem like a giant Mary Sue, but Spyro and Cynders daughter is under constant pressure, training her hardest the become a strong future queen for her people. After Exhilaratus, her brother, disappears from the kingdom, even more pressure falls on Blaire to keep things running smoothly on her own.

She must always strive for perfection, as it is what’s expected of her.

Stink bomb: valentines? what is that? I thought the 14th of February was ‘screw love day’…

(‘Screw love day’ is a day for all the aromatic and asexual skylanders AND villains. It is held on the 14th of February (valentines) it is a day where you go around sticking flyers and protesting with signs for the whole day. oh and punching couples in the face. this event was thought up by Stink bomb and Hysteria when they were both kicking couples in the face.)

I have noticed other types of dark dragons, such as Blackout’s breed. Do these have any connection to the Kuros, possible as cousin species?

Lost Queen : Kuros are one of, if not THE, most ancient species of dragon known to Skylands. We are the core embodiment of darkness. Because of this, we have countless of other species that have evolved from us, and who owe their relations to us. Such as the Skylander known as Blackout, yes.
