[ID: Graphic showing the lifecycle of a sulla. The Egg stage shows an iridescent, ovular egg and reads “Eggs may hatch anywhere from 6 months to 3 years depending on ambient magic levels. The Larva stage shows a fuzzy greenish ball with wings and reads “These flying sprites latch onto new saplings and feed. They develop into pupae in as little as six months.” The Pupa stage shows a patterned green prismatic lump and reads “Pupae grow a reflective crystalline shell and develop into adolescents in 7 - 9 months.” The Adolescent stage shows two winged children, one with a pair of white bird wings and one with three pairs of dragonfly wings, and reads, “Males will have lost two sets of wings and grown feathers at this stage. Adolescent sulla will age rapidly for six years before reaching the adult stage.” The Adult stage shows two winged adults, one with large brown and white bird wings and another with a pair of orange and black butterfly wings, and reads “Female sulla will lay one egg in their lifetime.” There is an additional stage, Queen, which depicts a large sulla woman with iridescent insect wings, and points towards the Egg stage. It reads “Unlike other sulla, the queen will continue to produce eggs for the rest of her life. It is still currently unknown how queens are born.”

procrastinating so hard i finally made that ‘life cycle of a sulla’ thing i’ve been thinking about, it’s only partially accurate since cannon leaves a lot of gaps and i’ve got no idea how fast a sulla ages, but i’m absolutely convinced they have a pupal stage bc how tf else do they get from floating ball of fluff to humanoid with wings
