"Their bodies are made from hard transluscent chitin. Depending on the arrangement of their cells, they refract light differently and can appear as vastly different colors."
—Beastiepedia
Kaleidarn is a Beastie.
Biology
Kaleidarn is an insectoid Beastie that resembles a dragonfly. Their segmented body consists of a rectangular head segment, a rhomboidal body segment, and a tail made of four spherical segments. These segments all have the appearance of glass, and can be one of a range of colors, from blue to sea-green to purple. The eyes on the sides of their head are square-shaped and have round yellow pupils. They have two tiny black arms that are thin and loop-shaped, and their large yellow wings also appear as if they're made out of glass.
In Kaleidarn's Raremorph form, their colors become duller and more metallic, with their body and wings separately becoming gold or silver.
