## What is it?

It may need a Companion (ravingmadness: the few times i saw it on a stream/video, there were always two people).

The Dragonfly War Machine can be found in the Underground or Snow level after a complex setup with a companion.. It rapidly moves in one place which gives the impression of a dragonfly flying.

Main Characteristics:

* Tail is stable while other parts move (head, wings)
* Can be "positioned" anywhere in the levels for viewing

## Where is it found?

This WM can be set up anywhere in the Underground and Snow (so far). It does not move around the level once it has come to a stop in the air - other than rapidly moving its limbs.

## Directions for Setup

Currently, the videos where the Dragonfly WM is shown lack detailed setup and those who have shared the video publicly have not yet disclosed the method.

Those who are concurrently credited with this discovery are: drepanodonanomalus, Kenpatchi59280, Lizardsim, and Zimask.

It is also unclear (but very likely) that this glitch involves the The ID rule as it involves both WMs and two companions working together.

Dragonfly WM in Snow (May 15, 2018):

## Shuriken WM

Note: It may need to be turned into its own article.

### What is it?

Is a WM that is suspended in air and rapidly spinning, resembling a shuriken after an elaborate setup with a companion.

It was first shared to the community from pipimpipim's discord message linking unpari's video on February 13, 2022.

Main Characteristics:

* Spins rapidly in place and may twist a little bit on the x and y axes.
* Can be seen above Shrine Tower in Underground OOB
* Once it launches into a spin, does not have any other forms

Please note that this glitch falls under the The ID rule and requires several IDs:

* For Single Shuriken WM: Need **2 IDs for 2 players** (Helper, Watcher)
* For Twin Shuriken WM: Need **3 IDs for 2 players**, with the Helper needing two IDs (High and Low) and Watcher needing only 1 ID (Medium). Please coordinate so that your IDs fall exactly in that order prior to setup.

### Where is it found?

The single and dual versions have been seen at the Underground OOB level, above the Shrine Tower.

### Single Shuriken Directions

This requires two players with two IDs total: "Helper" (Low ID) and "Watcher" (High ID), please reference the ID rule.

[INSERT Single Shuriken Directions here]

### Twin Shuriken Directions

For viewing these WMs, there are time-sensitive steps that must be completed in a narrow window (30 seconds or less).

Twin Shuriken viewing requires two players with three IDs in total (High, Medium, Low) and some coordination to ensure they fall exactly into that order.

The "Watcher" will be the Medium ID player and the "Helper" is the one who must complete the most setup steps in total and needs both High and Low IDs..

Broadly speaking, a **glitch** is where something in the game does something it wasn't meant to. We do not distinguish between a "wanted Glitch" and actual bugs.
