Red Dragonfly Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a red dragonfly! Didn't even have to roll for initiative!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  I won't deny that the wretched red dragonfly is an elegant aeronaut.

 It manipulates its four wings quite uniquely so it can hover and meneuver through the air with ease.

 But the veins on its wings! What ghastly things!

 One can't help but gasp at the sight of them... Appalling aerodynamics, indeed!
