Yeah. I never believed animus magic was the cause of evil. Darkstalker had a control freak girlfriend and an abusive father who tried to sell his sister to the IceWings, Anemone was literally a child and was implied to be enchanted by Darkstalker, and the original Jerboa was probably going crazy due to how long she was living for and how bored she was. Turtle and Fathom never went evil because their magic isn’t the cause, it’s just circumstantial.

I agree with your comment to be honest. It's not the magic that makes them evil it's the way they use it. Just think about it, Albatross, had a horrible past from his sister's constant bullying, Arctic, with abuse from his by his mother (and if I'm correct his other family members) which led him to abuse his power, Darkstalker, got abused by his father Arctic which made him abuse his power too, and I think with Anemone, she was somewhat used as a weapon and just found out that she was never born with magic she was given by Turtle. So my guess is if they just bond with their power and not abuse it or use it for maddening reasons I think you will be safe, right?🤔🤔

I can agree. I think the reason animus dragons commonly go insane boils down to environmental factors and personality. A perfectly selfless dragon could go insane from abusive parents, while a dragon with a perfect environment and a good life could still go insane if they have a bit to much ambition and ego.

When it was changed from “Albatross’s his animus powers and appearance were from a distant IceWing relative” to “it’s natural pigmentation” it actually sense at first. I mean, my first OC was a NightWing who has luecism. However, we know from Arctic, and to a not such an extreme extent, Opal, that not all IceWings followed their queen’s orders. So either this was an affair that happened behind the IceWing Queen’s back or it was something else more sinister. Honestly, I personally believe that Albatross is a case of isolated heritage (that’s not what it’s called, but I’m calling it that since I can’t find the exact definition). Meaning, Albatross inherited recessive but still unique characteristics from his ancestors that his sister didn’t inherit. This seems to happen over generations. I mean, Anemone was said to be similar to Albatross’s scale color. But this theory does fit well, and it makes a lot of sense! I actually prefer this theory to my own because it’s easy to understand and also a lot less complicated.

well your theory and the icewing theory could go hand in hand- with being an animus being linked to a recessive trait connected to certain dragon tribes and dragons needing specific genes to be able to recieve that trait potentially. Considering that there's also a chance turtle is what made her an animus (tho i think that's very much up for debate) it could also not be linked at all and it could be a coloration mutation that is only possible because of this icewing heritage link. There was probably even some royalty between albatross and coral that had a similar coloration mutation!

I know, nobody asked, but I have sort of dragon tribes evolution. Some of the first tribes hadn’t names, but I call them Forestwings, Earthwings, Icewings and Beetlewings. Icewings were the only tribe with animus magic. But then, some hybrids started to form their own tribes, such as: Sandwings(Ice/Beetle, Icewing blood is the reason they had animus dragon as Jerboa), Rainwings (Beetle/Forest, both of those tribes used to leave in rainforest, so there were big opportunity to have a hybrid-tribe) and Nightwings (Rain/Sand, in book 4 was information about maybe-venom in Nightwings’ teeth, so it probably because of the Rainwings). When Rainwing tribe had been formed, they started a war (which I call “first Tree Wars”). They outed Beetlewings from the forest, and Forestwings lose. That’s the reason, why some Forestwings went to the isles and then under water. So then there were Leafwings (who still in rainforest), Islandwings (who lived on isles) and Seawings (who are from then to now living under water. So, after tree wars Beetlewings and Leafwings were outed Pyrrhia. Earthwings split up to Skywings and Mudwings (it’s the reason, why some Mudwings have fireproof scales). Then we all know about Clearsight arriving to Pantala and having lots of kids and, Oh my goodness, there’s a whole new tribe of Hivewings. And, actually, Forestwings and Nightwings used to have animus dragons too, but, because this tribes were peaceful, Forestwings started to have leafspeaking dragonets and Nightwings got a mind reading and a future seeing ability. It’s just my version of dragon tribes evolution. If you read everything I wrote, you’re my hero. And, um, I’m Russian, and I’m writing (almost) without translator… So I’m sorry for mistakes.

It makes little sense that Albatross would come out looking completely different from normal SeaWings and his sisters looking exactly the same if they all shared the same level of IceWing dna. Especially if it was very far removed. What’s more likely is that superfecundation has occurred (When mothers birth/lay offspring in the same batch with different fathers). Tui has given us proof in DSL that this can happen to the WoF dragons since Arctic questions Foeslayer on Darkstalker’s paternity but not Whiteout’s. All I’m gonna say is Albatross’ mom was frisky lol.

All I'm saying is that Artic's father never made a appearance in the book could be he got a bit Frisky with a certain Seawing royal was caught and killed by his wife seems like a Diamond thing to do. Wait would that mean that Darkstalker was best friends with his first cousin once removed?

- Albatross is an animus - He must be descended from an animus dragon - He is probably descended from an IceWing - Only royal IceWings have animus blood - According to this theory (which I think is right), Albatross is ultimately related to a royal IceWing. For that to happen, a royal IceWing had to run away from the Ice Kingdom, go all the way to the Kingdom of the Sea, fall in love with a SeaWing, and have eggs with him/her. That’s a pretty bold IceWing and I demand a winglet about him/her. In addition, I have a theory that ALL animus dragons in all of Pyrrhia are somehow related to the IceWings. The NightWings got animus power from IceWings, presumably the SeaWings got it from IceWings, and the only other tribe that still has animus dragons is the SandWings, which live right next door to the Ice Kingdom. If you want to go as far back as where did the IceWings get it, then you get into topics like dragon life before the Scorching, which are super sketchy topics that we don’t know anything about. They’re interesting and fun to theorize about, though, for sure!

My thoughts exactly on this topic. I'm not really sure why Albatross' heritage is such a controversial thing. It is possible for two babies to be born from two different fathers. Even in humans it could happen although extremely rare and almost unheard of. In lizards is is VERY common for a mother to carry on the goods from previous mate into another clutch even a year later! Personally my theory is that Albatross is the product of an affair between his mother and the father of Queen Diamond. Making him half siblings to Queens Diamond and Lagoon. That also means that he could be Sapphire's half brother too. She could be from a different hatching but from the recognized couple's union. We don't unfortunately have names for Lagoon's and Sapphire's parents only that they were king and queen. I would have hoped that this would have been somewhat obvious to everyone. There however are some of us who have kinda figured it out at least. I'm glad that I'm not the only one!

I think Albatross' colours can be explained the same way as MudWing siblings. Take Clay for example. He was the only one out of his siblings to have fireproof scales, as well as all the siblings looking different from each other. It could be the same with all the tribes, since Albatross and Lagoon only came from the same hatching, not the same egg. Albatross just got a recessive gene with more IceWing traits. It could be genetic deviation, but I feel like this is a little more likely. (Might edit this later since I'm kinda tired and probably didn't explain it very well)

*this is gonna be so cool. I just know it.* edit: it was

This is so cool! Albatross is like my all time favorite character, so I love hearing him get talked about lmao- it’s relatable- but yeah, I pretty much agree with what you said in the video! Personally, one my possible headcanons (even though I could totally be wrong, mind you, so please don’t comment disagreements!) is that MAYBE one of Albatross’s GRANDPARENTS had an egg/eggs with an animus IceWing, but he was the only one who had animus magic since it was confirmed that oftentimes it skips a few generations. Plus, I also don’t think it’s totally impossible that maybe Lagoon and Sapphire are only his half sisters because of someone in his family possibly having an IceWing mate. Again, honestly I feel like there’s multiple ways to answer this theory, but either way it’s super cool to think about! Not to mention, reminds me of a video I was going to make (and may still ahah) about a separate theory about him and his insanity- basically just that my assumption/head canon was he had actually been “soulless” for a long time, and was merely biding his time and such. But anyways this was super cool to watch!! Nicely done!

Honestly, I completely forgot about 7:43 (Lagoon and Albatross being from the same egg) in the book. So now since I remember it, I have a small theory for the IceWing heritage. Peril and Sky (presumably Sky) were from the same egg, right? One (Peril) had to much fire in her, making her a firescales. While the other (Sky), had too little fire. What if other eggs like SkyWings had the same hatching problems like these? And that’s one of the reasons Albatross came out so different. Lagoon was born assumingely “normal” looking, while Albatross was born with the IceWing heritage, due to the face there was a “malfunction” in their egg?

I always said that it wasn't his magic that made him go insane, it was his sister pushing his patience to the limit.

This is a really cool and good theory! Animus genes being up to variation chance makes a lot of sense. For example Fathom's dragonets not being animus despite having an animus father and on the flipside you have Arctic and Darkstalker. Even in real-life this happens, for example, my brother shows the signs of having Marfan syndrome despite me, our sister, and parents not having it. But on my mother's side we have a distant relative who has confirmed Marfan syndrome.

FF: albatross is part of both the seawing, and icewing royal blood line he is a confirmed royal sea wing, and animus blood is bred completely into the royal icewing bloodline.

This video is so awesome! I have a kind of theory: I don't think it's using animus magic that makes animus dragons go insane, it's NOT using the power, because they're driven mad by the fantasy's of doing evil spells, and if they DO actually cast any of those spells then they go evil. (So basically they'll almost definitely go evil)

Technically turtle said that, or it might have been quibli, but basically the power of animus makes you insane because of a thirst for strength because you can do almost anything

My theory is that like DarkStalker, an ice wing royalty with animous blood decades before Arctic, ran away to be with a Seawing. They fell in love and had them. It’s been confirmed that dragonets gets their appearance more from their mother. So it could be possible Sapphire and the other sister got majority of their traits from her. Albatross did also but got his father’s colors and stuff. Kind of like DarkStalker and white-out. Dark got more of a appearance of his mom while White got both. That’s my theory though

I think the reason that Albatross looks funny AND is animus, ties to the exact same reason why Turtle looks exactly like fathom and is an animus. Keep in mind- Anemone was NOT born an animus- so with that being said, none of his siblings look as green and as much like fathom as he does. With fathom's genes came the power. It was just a matter of a recessive gene showing back up in the mix. I genuinely don't believe in the affair stuff; Tui said he was NOT a hybrid, but had just PART icewing.
