For whatever reason, the dragonfly wings and insectoid visage seem straight-up badass to me. (Incidentally, and probably for similar reasons, Scyther -- and Beedrill -- were among my favorite Pokemon.) I imagine a colony of Swordwings and Crownwings, fresh out of a rift from the Far Realms, building a new hive in the deepest reaches of the Underdark, and potentially threatening to infest the entire world.... Sounds like an awesome epic-level adventure, actually.To the poster who wondered why Swordwings, at level 25, haven't totally overrun the Underdark: Swordwings haven't taken over because they probably don't exist in significant numbers outside of the Far Realms yet, because otherwise, they almost certainly would overrun. Swordwings only begin to appear or emerge from hibernation as the campaign reaches a point where the PCs will conceivably end up fighting them. (Kinda circular, I know, but it's a fantasy game; the appearance of Swordwings is just a MacGuffin.)</blockquote>
