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!
