**Moonmaw Dragonfly** is a boss that is only able to spawn under specific conditions, during Summer under a Full Moon, Or Moon Storm. When all the circumstances for it to spawn are met, it will spawn in place of the Wilting Dragonfly. It spawns on its back, having recently fallen out of the sky.

8 Glass Lavae orbit around it, and will spin violently if the player gets too close, damaging and knocking back those who get hit. It can also summon small crystals that it will shoot like projectiles. Slam the ground in an AoE. It can slam the ground creating a line of Unstable Moon Glass that can damage you multiple times. It can also summon massive crystals from the sky similar to Celestial Champion.

There is an enormous light that's surrounds it. This is not very noticeable due to spawning when nights are bright from the Full Moon. The aura around her inflicts Enlightenment, which can spawn Gestalts at high sanity.

On death it drops eight Meat, three Enlightened Scales, and three Inert Infused Moon Chunk (18 Infused Moon Shard).

It takes 4 Sleep Darts to put Moonmaw Dragonfly to sleep. It is immune to freezing, and has an innate 80% resistance to explosives.

## Tips

* Moonmaw Dragonfly is highly destructive and should not be fought near your base.
* Having a Walking Cane or other speed boost is highly recommended.
* Players must be careful while riding Beefalo close to it, as you can end up becoming stunlocked for a good time and receiving massive damage.
* Having ways to lower sanity during the fight (I.E Shadow Armor) is really good to have to not have to deal with Gestalts.

## Trivia

* Even if Moonmaw Dragonfly is a transformed form of Wilting Dragonfly, the corruption from the moon changed her enough to the point where it's now referred as "It" instead of "She" and is not considered an insect anymore.
	+ Not being considered an insect means that Moonmaw Dragonfly won't receive any extra damage or AOE effect from Bug Zappers.
* Wormwood's quote for it is a reference to one of UM's Community Veterans, WormiestWood.
* Its lavae orbiting attack is the only attack in Uncompromising Mode that ignores Knockback Immunity, pushing players away to avoid stunlocking them. The only exception to this are players riding a Beefalo.
* Moonmaw Dragonfly was added in the Fight And Flight update.

## Bugs

* If Moonmaw does a stomp attack just before dying it will mine the Inert Infused Moon Chunks.
