Swarms of these 10-ft-long dragonflies can be seen, their skin glittering in the sunlight. They are dangerous predators and they hunt humans and other humanoid prey. Raiders and bandits who ride flying vermin prefer giant dragonflies to other mounts. They're less affressive than wasps but more so than bees. They also make a distinct thrumming sound in flight that strikes fear into common folk. Note: The Tome of Horrors lists giant dragonflys as a CR 4 creature and of size medium (5-ft.-long and not suitable as a mount).
