おもしろい事実

Adult Green Drakes don't even have mouths; they cannot eat during their incredibly short life!

Massive swarms of Green Drakes can show up on weather radar, sometimes mistaken for rain!

Some Green Drakes spend up to two years as underwater nymphs before becoming flying adults!

They have a unique 'dun' stage where they fly, then molt again into a 'spinner' to mate.

特殊能力

Green Drakes can breathe underwater using feathery gills along their abdomen because this helps them survive for years as nymphs.

能力

Adult Sprint

Green Drakes has an incredibly short adult lifespan, lasting only hours to days, which helps them quickly reproduce and die after mating.

能力

Synchronized Dance

Green Drakes can emerge in vast numbers simultaneously, creating a swarming spectacle that helps them find mates quickly and efficiently.
