Hatchlings are born with internal gills like a dragonfly nymph. When the young grow to about 6 feet in length (which usually takes about 4 years) they crawl onto land and metamorphose, exchanging their gills for lungs and shedding the outermost layers of their shell to reveal their first wings. They can fly as soon as they pump out and dry their wings – the whole metamorphosis usually takes 2-3 hours. It takes another 4 years for them to grow to adult size.Dragonfly turtles live about 20 years. They grow throughout their lives and can reach Gargantuan size. Dragonfly turtles moult every few months, replacing their wings with each moult.Skills: The aquatic stages of a dragonfly turtle have green and brown camouflage patterns which give them a +8 racial bonus on Hide checks if they are amongst mud or waterweed. They can also use their Strength or Dexterity bonus on Swim checks, whichever is better.Hatchling Dragonfly Turtle (Small Magical Beast (Aquatic), Hit Dice: 1d10+1 (6 hp); Init: +3; Speed: 10 ft.
