Abilities

Wavesense (Imprecise) 30 feetinteraction

This sense allows a monster to feel vibrations caused by movement through a liquid. It's an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Wavesense functions only if monster and the subject are in the same body of liquid, and only if the subject is moving through the liquid.

The giant dragonfly nymph extends its jaws to a surprising distance. The dragonfly nymph makes a mandibles Strike with a reach of 10 feet, but the mandibles lose the agile trait for this Strike.

Description

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.
