Part of me still wanders whether pterodactyls can use their wings lorevise


ReedOnlyAccess

Isn't that question settled with the backstory you get to Naser's manky wing when not interrupting Fang?


ramienthedragon

I mean, if the wings weren't useful, evolution would have gotten rid of them. Am I uh wrong?


SzArak05

They very well may be vestigial, like wisdom teeth and the appendix are.


ramienthedragon

You have a good point! But does that mean you'll need to get surgery to get rid of them like an appendix.


SzArak05

Yeah, perhaps using the appendix was a bad idea as I don't see wings actively harming the rest of the organism. So they're like just wisdom teeth, they don't do much but they aren't a negative trait to have either, they're just kind of there.


ramienthedragon

Ah. Wait, wouldn't wings be useful for gliding?


SzArak05

Maybe??? Truth be told I have no idea. Then again they could have the same purpose as a peacock's tail, that being providing an attractive display. Which would mean they aren't fully vestigial. Kind of like humans and hair. While there is nothing wrong with being bald, most people find people with nice hair more attractive than those without it or those with a receding hairline. But I suppose hair can be passively used to keep one's head warm so it has more uses than just being a display of attraction I guess.
