* The Guide to the Dragons of Pyrrhia mentions that [=IceWings=] are unfazed by bright lights, but this hardly ever comes up in-story. This is probably to protect them from snow blindness, a real phenomenon where sunlight reflected off pure-white snow damages one's eyes.

**The prophecy also specifically calls for a [=MudWing=] egg "the color of dragon blood", i.e. red. [=IceWings=] are the only tribe not to have red blood. It's very subtle, but this could be seen as the [=NightWings=] unpersoning them.



* In chapter 9 of Darkness of Dragons Qibli asks "Bog" a gotcha question by asking who his sibs are; "Bog" gets confused because he doesn't know what sibs are (because he's a RainWing) but how would Qibli know what sibs are? because the reason why Jade Mountain was founded was so that dragons from over tribes could learn to accept each other so learning about each other's culture would be top-priority for the students.

** A dragon skeleton pins down Starflight claiming he can't read minds at all: the nightwings are later revealed to (presently) lack their famed mind powers, leading to the logical conclusion that Morrowseer can't see the future and therefore made up the prophecy.

** Another skeleton dragon in a lab coat drugs Glory with a sleeping potion: Mastermind (a scientist) is experimenting on the kidnapped rainwings (and Glory does end up kidnapped herself).
** Tsunami is speared through the heart as she defiantly declares to a smug Scarlet [[TheDeterminator she won't stop fighting]]: while not to the same deadly degree as the dream, Tsunami's heart is broken when she learns her ActionGirl tendencies [[{{Deconstruction}} unwittingly killed her father]], prompted [[NiceJobBreakingItHero in an attempt to prove to Scarlet she had the guts to kill]].
** Kestrel is stabbed to death by Scarlet: She indeed is stabbed through the throat, but rather than Scarlet, she's killed by another cruel ruthless member of royalty, Blister.

* There's a certain poetic justice to Scarlet being killed by Tourmaline during their duel. Bear in mind that one of Scarlet's many transgressions was unknowingly ([[AlternateCharacterInterpretation let's hope]]) dooming Gill to fight and be killed by his own daughter. How fitting that Scarlet's death come down to [[KarmicDeath just that]]: fighting and dying by her daughter's own claws. ''[[UpToEleven Better still]]'', she dies the ''exact'' same way Gill died, by NeckSnap.

* Scarlet being Burn's prisoner seems arbitrary and out of nowhere. What good would it do to imprison one of your allies? But then it dawns on one: Scarlet was being kept prisoner in Burn's tower of weird oddities! And remember, Scarlet had recently been [[FacialHorror disfigured]] by Glory's venom. So for all intents and purposes, Burn decided to "collect" Scarlet. As twisted as it is, at least one can now say there's a method to Burn's madness.

* [[spoiler: Thorn is actually the optimal choice to hold the Eye of Onyx and be Sandwing Queen ''because she's a blend of the three princesses!'' She has each of their best qualities. Burn? Thorn can certainly hold her own in a fight, so if anyone challenges her, she'll last long enough. Blister? Thorn possesses cleverness worthy of a leader, as demonstrated when she explained to Sunny the diplomatic benefits of a feast. Blaze? She has the diplomacy and compassion towards her people that balances the other two qualities out. In short, Sunny couldn't have chosen a better queen than her own mother.]]

**** That is wrong as of book 10, as Osprey mentions "Save Our Scavengers" in the same tone as "Igunas Are Dragons, Too". To the point, your argument is wrong.

*** There is no mention in the books about the severity of the flames of [=SandWings=] or how they compare to [=NightWings=]. In fact, they seem to have pretty much the same amount of fire breath, which admittedly is just not as powerful as a [=SkyWing's=]. Sunny could simply just be deformed in that area of the body. Regardless, because there's no clear information on this, this hardly counts as Fridge Brilliance.



* If Arctic hadn’t previously created protection from animus magic, he would be dead. For him this might be a MercyKill considering what happens later, but there would be virtually nothing stopping Darkstalker

** FridgeBrilliance building on the latter when you consider that this involves forcing Moon to choose Qibli over Winter (An [=IceWing=]
*** Hopefully he didn't do it already. She has no reason to assume her love is being chosen for her, and no reason to wear that Darkstalker-Spellproof earring anymore...
* The Othermind is actually like ''Film/TheThing1982'' in more ways than one. It can assimilate minds, spreads by getting in one's system, and (as a plant) dislikes fire. Much like the Thing, it could easily assimilate all life on the planet in a very short amount of time. [[FromBadToWorse Unlike the thing, the Othermind is blatantly evil.]]
* The Othermind in general, is pretty effing terrifying, I think we can all agree. Can we set fire to that continent yet? Please?

* If the Othermind managed to assimilate Sundew, it would have an easy method of regrowing its own plants. Actually it's already a problem since several [=LeafWings=] with plant-based powers already have fallen under it's control.
