In Pikmin Evolution
The Draconic Dandelfly is a species of hypertrophic Dandelfly appearing in Pikmin Evolution, it is the hypertrophic variant to the Nectarous Dandelfly. It is essentially a larger and more reptilian version of that species, with a more draconic head and abdomen segments covered in thick scales. As it is hypertrophic it has altered behavior due to hormonal changes, for one the large size of the beast means it mainly sleeps on the floor of it den rather than fly around, and for another its new energy requirements have made it gain a diet for fresh blood. When it smells the taste of small insects it will wake up from its nap and use its sharp proboscis to snag and slurp up any tiny insect in its way, ranging from Shearwigs to Scornets to of course Pikmin. The proboscis on this creature is very long and can impale up to 10 Pikmin, making it a very deadly attack if it properly connects. The head is too scaly to attack so instead you need to attack the segments of its abdomen and destroy each fluid sack within. The number of abdomen segments range from five to seven to up to ten, so there can be a lot of sacks to destroy. Care needs to be made in not trying to go under the beast as the Draconic Dandelfly can have its body segments shower a magenta powder which can confuse any Pikmin who crosses the powder, leaving them dancing around the beast's flight path which leaves them easy pickings for the Draconic Dandelfly's attacks. The Draconic Dandelfly's biggest weakness is actually itself, as to deal the most damage to the body segments you should lure the creature to use its own proboscis to stab the segments of its own body, dealing massive damage to it. When each fluid sack is burst the Draconic Dandelfly becomes more and more faster, making it more difficult to hit the remaining segments. However the Draconic Dandelfly has two major weaknesses, a weakness to the cold, and a delicate stomach. For the former you can scatter an icy cyan syrup over one of its segments to freeze it, which causes the entire body to fall and flail about, leaving each segment free for your attacks. After a while the segment that was frozen will become unfrozen, though it will sustain some notable damage, continuing the fight like normal. Feeding the creature a poisonous substance, like say a purple syrup, will cause great internal distress to the Dandelfly making its movements sluggish and less refined as well as gain a damage overtime effect that will do some decent harm to it. After a while the Draconic Dandelfly will burp out black smoke, indicating that its stomach issues are gone and it will resume its fight. After rupturing all of the segments the entire abdomen will explode, leaving only the head of the Draconic Dandelfly to carry alongside the piece of refuse it drops. Overall for being the hypertrophic variant of such a harmless enemy, the Draconic Dandelfly is quite a challenging opponent.
