Species Notes

Grouping: Elemental, Arthropod

Lusomnae are a species of dragonfly-like insect found in the depths of Chroma's swamps. They absorb sunlight during the day, then use their stored solar power to create glowing wisps of eerie light when they become active at dusk and through the night. These wisps serve to both lure in other insects to prey on, and to misdirect other creatures looking for a snack. Their eerie lights have also led the occasional researcher away from safely recorded paths and into dangerous sinkholes or submerged structures.

There are few creatures that can match the agility of a Lusomna in flight. As a result, they are highly effective predators of other insects. In captivity, Lusomnae are capable of learning to recognise that researchers will feed them, but are not particularly trainable beyond this point. They are not very social creatures, except during their autumnal mating season, during which each Lusomna will attempt to attract mates using their glowing wisps. The many flickering orbs create a dazzling light show in the fall evenings.
