The Dragonfly, also known as Moriyana in the first two installments, is a species of gigantic dragonfly that, although obviously is an insect, has several reptilian features.
These creatures are fearsome due to their high evasion rate, moderate HP, powerful attacks and their tendency in some games to bind the head and feet of party members, making them unable to flee or use healing skills.
