Lepidopterran (Classic)

Lepidopterrans are a species from the planet Lepidopterra.

Appearance
Lepidopterrans are an insectoid species with four insect-like flat legs with two arms whose hands have three clawed fingers. They have four pedunculated eyes that are pretty small, but get larger and gain pupils with age. These eyes are linked directly to the sides of their head. Their wings are very fragile with lines on them.

Infant Lepidopterrans have large eyes with pupils and have much smaller wings.

Human/Lepidopterran Hybrids
They look like an insect larva with human head and hair but with Lepidopterran teeth.

Lepidopterran/Worm Hybrids
The Lepidopterran/Worm hybrids are similar to normal worms.

Powers and Abilities
Lepidopterrans are extremely acrobatic flyers and able to pull off amazing maneuvers of precision and grace.

Lepidopterrans are extremely agile, able to avoid most attacks while attacking the opponents.

Lepidopterrans have a large variety of attacks like goo spitting, blowing nauseous gas and stinging their opponents.

In Don't Drink the Water, four year old Stinkfly was able to emit a powerful herbicide via flatulation.

Lepidopterrans are stronger than humans.

Weaknesses
Although their exoskeleton body is fairly strong, Lepidopterran wings are very fragile.

Water is especially a problem for Lepidopterrans, as it can render them incapable of flight if too much gets on their wings. Furthermore, they is unable to swim well due to the small surface area of their limbs.

Lepidopterran goo can be neutralized by a Buglizard's fog.
