Notes

Spectralid wings have a lot of fine powder on them. By building up in many different layers, it gives them a sparkle with complexity and depth. This little fellow's powder also has some ultra-spicy essence in it for a zestier effect!

Olimar

Its red wings have several spots, unlike the lone spot on each wing of the yellow variety. Its scales contain trace amounts of ultra-spicy flakes, which are mixed into its saliva as it sucks up the nectar from flowers. The combined flakes, saliva, and nectar are refined into ultra-spicy nectar inside the creature, which it uses as a growth supplement for its eggs. Despite this, its reproductive capabilities are quite low. It is for this reason that the red variant fetches astronomical prices among collectors.

Louie

Spread larvae on a slice of toast for a spicy and protein-packed breakfast. Or fry up the wings at any time of day for a sweet and crunchy snack!

Notes

Alph

Structural flaw: weak hide
Weight: 1

There must be a reason for the color variation between the various models of this creature, but I haven't yet figured out what it is. This one is probably my favorite, though. You can't go wrong with red!

Brittany

One of these red beauties flew real close to me once when I was standing still. I took that to mean I smell as sweet as a flower. It's funny how the Ultra-Spicy Nectar it carries doesn't seem to make it any more excitable than the rest of its kind. Maybe it's just better at keeping it together.

Charlie

Though red is a universally recognized symbol of danger, these creatures couldn't hurt a fly. A shame, too, because there are plenty of monster flies on this planet that could use some hurting.

Louie

Spread larvae on a slice of toast for a toothsome and protein-packed breakfast. Or fry up the wings at any time of day for a crunchy snack!
