[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9252569, member: 57383"] Okay, fixed a couple of very minor typos in the [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/posts/9249220']Giant Dragonfly [/URL][/B] and [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/posts/9249257']Giant Damselfly[/URL][/B], namely a "Giant Giant", an "average" that should be "averages" and a superfluous "sized". Updating the [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/posts/9249560']Imperial Giant Dragonfly[/URL][/B] with the following: [INDENT] [B][SIZE=6]Description[/SIZE][/B] [COLOR=magenta] Apart from its size an imperial giant dragonfly is little different from a standard giant dragonfly. These insects are about 12 feet long and 1,000 pounds, with a 20 foot wingspan. Many species live in hot climates, but quite a few prefer temperate climes. [I][B]Lions of the Sky.[/B][/I] Imperial giant dragonflies are aggressive aerial predators who preferentially target Small and Medium flying creatures, particularly monstrous insects such as [COLOR=purple]giant grasshoppers, giant wasps, and smaller giant odonates[/COLOR]. Their fondness for eating regular giant damselflies and giant dragonflies probably explains why those are rare around the tropical rivers and lakes where the imperials thrive. Imperial giant dragonflies inhabiting the tropics tend to be extremely colorful, and the swirling brilliant of a flight of these odonatids has earned them the collective name "a kaleidoscope of dragonflies." [B][SIZE=5]V[/SIZE]ARIANT[SIZE=5]: I[/SIZE]MPERIAL[SIZE=5] G[/SIZE]IANT[SIZE=5] D[/SIZE]AMSELFLY[/B] While a standard giant damselfly is a Small beast some tropical species grow much bigger (see Giant Damselfly for details). A Large giant damselfly uses an imperial giant dragonfly's statistics and averages 18 feet long, with a 30 foot wingspan. Their nymphs are as dangerous as an imperial giant dragonfly nymph.[/COLOR] [/INDENT] That just leaves the Tropical Damselfly of the adult Giant Odonatics to finish. That might take a bit longer, since I keep on coming up with ideas for it. EDIT: Going by some tropical giant damselfly proportions, an 18-footer Imperial Damsel has shorter wings than implied above, so I'm reducing the span from 30 to 24 feet. Might reduce the wingspans of the other damselflies too. [/QUOTE]
