Dragonfly

Bearing some resemblance to Chinese dragons, the dragonflies have elongated, lizard-like bodies. They can fly or hover vertically via the two pairs of dragonfly-like wings attached to their shoulders that can grow up to 1 meter in length. Their upper parts are dusky green, their nape areas are decorated with three spines with dark green tips. Their faces are dark green, with a lighter green band extending form under each eye, meeting and flaring over the nostrils. Their eyes are yellow. They have no external ears. The scutes on their underparts are creamy mint green.

After Aang freed them from their cages, the dragon-flies hovered above Ba Sing Se passerbys and harassed them. They were also seen perched on rooftops, balancing on their lower limbs. Usually, dragonflies can look surprisingly scary, but don't actually pose a threat to humans. Dragonflies feed off of bugs and fish.

Dragonflies were first seen at the Ba Sing Se Zoo in the episode "Tales of Ba Sing Se."

Connection
The Dragonfly is a combination of the real life dragonfly and a generic lizard.
