Overview

Yanma are some of the most agile fliers in the world. They can fly in any direction: forwards, backwards, up, down, left, and right; they can even hover in place. They flap their wings extremely quickly; to defend themselves, Yanma can increase the speed of their flapping to generate shock waves and stun foes. These waves are strong enough to shatter glass windows. Their compound eyes can turn 360°, allowing them to see in virtually any direction. This is useful when Yanma are hunting their preferred prey--insects. Yanma are very territorial against other Yanma, defending their domains from intruders with attacks like Sonic Boom and Bug Buzz. They primarily reside in humid swamps and marshes, though they can also be found in damper woodlands. Yanma catch insects in their strong mandibles, oftentimes grabbing them out of the air mid-flight and carrying them back to their nests to feed upon in private. They use the two long growths on either end of their tails to remain balanced as they quickly dart around in search of food.
