Sometimes, authors become bored of the overwhelmingly common Giant Spiders and Creepy Centipedes and try to get a little more creative with their Big Creepy-Crawlies. Dragonflies can fill the role to perfection. After all, they combine high-speed flight, toothed mandibles, and gigantic compound eyes. This makes them some of the most formidable predators among insects, being able to prey upon even small fish. They are also quite big for insects, and their younger life stages are just as deadly: dragonfly nymphs are aquatic predators with extensible mandibles that burst out to capture prey, and they habitually prey on tadpoles and other small vertebrates. As such, giant dragonflies would be an incredibly terrifying sight for hapless humans, who would have no hope of outrunning them and surviving their teeth. Subtrope of Big Creepy-Crawlies, and subsequently of Dire Beast. Compare Slaying Mantis, another insect that's often portrayed as scary or badass. |

Digimon: Yanmamon, one of the lesser-known Digimon species, is a dragonfly the size of grown human. Interestingly, its appearance seems to incorporate elements of both adult dragonflies and their no less ferocious nymphs. | |

Cool Spot has dragonfly enemies that attack Spot in the beach levels. They're some of the more difficult enemies to defeat because they move fast and erratically, making it difficult for Spot to land his shots on, and can rapidly inflict a lot of damage on him if he doesn't take them down quickly. | |

Surprisingly averted with the meganeura and meganeuropsis in Prehistoric Park Reimagined. While they are of the appropriate size of this trope, they only prove difficult to capture by virtue of being rather fast and difficult to properly catch by the rescue team rather than out of any sense of aggression or violence amongst them. | |

Donald teases them by making machine gun noises, and one of them attacks. They are saved when a giant fish eats the dragonfly. | |

Don't Starve: The Dragonfly is one of the three Giants — enormous boss enemies that each appear and attack during a specific season — introduced in the Reign of Giants DLC. It's considerably bigger than the players or most other enemies in the game, and will attack the moment it sees you. It's also a lot more reptilian and pyrokinetic than dragonflies usually are, being a literal dragon-fly. | |

Pathfinder: Giant dragonflies are a fairly rare type of swamp-dwelling giant insect that grow to be around the size of a horse. They're fast, agile, and voracious hunters quite willing to hunt and eat humanoids as regular fare. Their nymphs also appear as statted monsters, but they are (naturally) smaller, flightless, and less of a danger. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Giant dragonflies appeared as a new monster in module EX2 The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror and later in the Monster Manual 2. They are man-sized, have up to 64 Hit Points, and are very hard to hit in combat. They are known to attack human beings and can kill a normal human in a single combat round. | |

Fortunately, they are quite weak. Donkey Kong 64 has the boss monster Dogadon, whose design emphasizes the "dragon" more than the "fly", but who nonetheless has two pairs of insectoid wings. The Monocle Monicas from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze are huge dragonfly-like creatures approximatively the size of Donkey Kong. They quickly move forward and backward from a point A to a point B and contact with them will harm Donkey Kong. |

Bug Fables: Thieves are dragonflies who appear as common enemies in the Lost Sands, along with other Desert Bandits. Besides being constantly airborne and able to create gusts of damaging wind, they can also steal the party's items and flee, making them particularly annoying to deal with. Riz the damselfly is a paranoid hick who believes anyone who passes near his village to be poachers who want to harm his family, and when Team Snakemouth encounters him, he attacks them without letting them explain themselves, initiating the boss fight. In battle, he's a very formidable opponent, capable of using the spear made of a pen nib that can ink party members, preventing them from using skills, and can also use drill-bombs that strike after two-turn delay, hitting hard and also inflicting status effects, making him very hard to beat. However, he's not actually evil and only wants to protect his family, and when the team defeats him and assures they mean no harm, he apologizes for attack and grants them passage to his village. |

Pokémon has the Yanma line. While Yanma (introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver) is already fairly large at three feet and eleven inches, it's quite cute and not all that scary. Then Pokémon Diamond and Pearl gave it an evolution: the monstrous Yanmega. Not only does it have a very intimidating appearance, it stands at a whopping six feet and three inches in height/length, making it the biggest Bug-type Pokémon until Scolipede stole the title. Even worse, the Pokédex states that it has powerful jaws that can bite foes and prey in half (and it is quite fond of doing this), and that it can create shockwaves with its wings. To top all of that, it is very fast. One wouldn't want to get on its bad side... | |

Dragonfly badniks have appeared in the Sonic the Hedgehog series: Sonic the Hedgehog CD has Tonbo in Tidal Tempest, which just flew back and forth and didn't really try to attack. Sonic & Knuckles has the aptly named Dragonflies in Mushroom Hill Zone, who notably have spiky abdomens with which they skewer their foes. These same badniks also reappears in Sonic Mania's Press Garden Zone. Sonic 3D Blast has Dragfly, who inhabits Spring Stadium Zone. It hovers erratically at a set point and can only harm Sonic if the hedgehog walks straight into it. |

Rifts: Giant clamp-mouth dragonflies are immense alien insects native to England; they resemble outsized, serpentine dragonflies with four pairs of wings, two behind the head and two much further back, as well as natural armor plating and giant three-pronged mouths. They're ferocious predators that seize prey with their jaws, which are almost impossible for human-like prey to force open, and eat them alive with their inner set of mouthparts. | |

Among the new weapons introduced in Bayonetta 2 was Kafka, a giant, dragonfly-themed bow. Its summons are Carnages, giant dragonfly demons with particularly large maws. These are also summoned in the against Malicious in one of the most brutal Torture Attacks in the series during which the poor demon gets Eaten Alive by the darners. | |

Amphibia has giant dragonflies that can snatch up and take frogs away at any moment, never to be seen again. And those aren't even the biggest ones... | |

Heaven's Design Team: Chapter 3 opens with a 70-cm-long dragonfly escaping the Insect Department before it can be shrunken down to a more insect-appropriate size, briefly terrifying the designers before Ueda catches it. This is a reference to Meganeura, the real-life ancestor to modern dragonflies and damselflies that indeed could reach up to 70 centimeters in length. | |
