Re: Wing size
That really depends on the overall weight of the creature. I'll have to dig through numbers of different flying things to make a guess. But I would say a large wing is needed. They may be soaring creatures rather than flapping creatures. So they would need a large amount of surface area on the wings to add more lift.
The victories from those skilled in warfare are not considered of great wisdom or courage, because their victories have no miscalculations
