This well-camouflaged translucent egg gives hints of wings to come.

The startlingly potent toxicity of the llamhigyn y dwr is both passive defense and strong offense. It is a carnivorous creature, killing its prey with its venom and stashing the corpse among the roots of water plants until its meal degrades enough for easy consumption. Its caches are not raided much by other species, for the poison lingers and will cause illness or death in any unwary thief. To maintain its high potency, a llamhigyn y dwr searches out and consumes other toxic creatures, concentrating the effect. This leads naturally to cannibalism and fiercely held territory boundaries. Even their breeding habits reflect this; after mating, females stealthily attempt to infiltrate rival territories, laying their eggs one by one in hidden locations in the hopes their offspring will survive to oust the rival. Their coloring has developed accordingly, for while the males have splashes of bright yellow to warn others out of their territories, females can easily sneak through the shallows with their dappled violet hides.
