Extending Jaw (Ex)

ECOLOGY

Environment temperate or warm water
Organization solitary, pair, or brood (3–8)
Treasure incidental

Giant dragonflies lay clutches of eggs in swampy terrain or areas of standing water. Their young, called nymphs, voraciously eat carrion and small prey, growing and maturing rapidly until they sprout fully functional wings and become adult dragonflies.
