MORTASHEEN

MEGALOPTERA SAPIENS

CLASS: ARTHROPOID

These arthropoids are exceptionally tall and can appear quite powerful, but their physical strength, reflexes, coordination and intelligence leave much to be desired. The impressive tusks of the males are useless as defensive mechanisms, serving only to attract the interest of females, who are somewhat better equipped to defend themselves and their clumsy, boastful mates.

BASE ORGANISM: Dobsonflies are large, basal flying insects most recognized for the elongated mandibles of the males, which are utilized to attract females and cradle them during the mating process but not otherwise functional as jaws. The blunt jaws of the females can deliver a powerful defensive bite, but both sexes are slow, awkward fliers. Larvae or "hellgrammites" are fully aquatic, predatory and live for many years before their brief imago period.
