Giant Dragonfly Nymph

The aquatic, wingless offspring of dragonflies are called dragonfly nymphs. Giant dragonfly nymphs can be several feet in length and mostly hunt in shallow waters, eating carrion and ambushing living creatures with their fully grown counterparts. They're not daunted by larger creatures, compelled by their instinct to eat as much as possible to sustain their growth.

Dragonflies hunt with a combination of agile power and deadly speed. In early life stages, these insects are entirely aquatic predators, but they take to the air once they've molted. Most live around bodies of water suitable for spawning, but giant dragonflies have been known to fly many miles while on the hunt. Though their gossamer wings and colorful bodies are beautiful at first glance, an unwary adventurer lured in by the display runs a very real risk of becoming lunch.
