These darting creatures resemble dragonflies, but with three pairs of gossamer wings and a body made from splintered wood. Flashes of bright colors run along their bodies.
Sew Mouths Shut. Forest folk rarely speak when sutureflies dart through the trees, because these creatures listen for lies and sew any offender’s mouth, nose, and eyes shut. Some say the old woods hide nothing but liars, and that is why the deepest forest is shrouded in silence. Others say that the forest uses sutureflies to smother those who break its covenants or reveal its secrets.
Adventurers see a suturefly’s handiwork more often than they glimpse one of the creatures directly: corpses with mouths and noses stitched shut lie in the underbrush, mysterious children whose mouths are ringed with black puncture marks observe intruders from afar, and dryads step from trees, their eyes sewn shut against the evils of civilization.
Seek Out Curses. Numerous suturefly varieties exist. Some attack based on verbal triggers other than lies. Black‑banded sutureflies, for instance, detect curses and religious blasphemies.
When attacking, sutureflies dart from hiding to gain surprise. Once they sew someone’s mouth closed, they target the same victim’s nose, unless threatened by another opponent. Sutureflies attack until they have sewn all of their opponents’ mouths, eyes and noses closed or until they’re destroyed.
