A NightWing Guide to the Dragons of Pyrrhia is the guide present in the first five books in the Dragonet Prophecy arc of the Wings of Fire series. It is within the first pages of the books. Due to being written by NightWings, the NightWing and RainWing sections contain both intentionally and unintentionally false information that was later corrected by Starflight in the guide for the following arc.
