Mecopterans are harmless creatures which are hunted for the bones from their hands which are powdered and added to soups to cure impotence. Geralt refuses to kill them, while Dandelion can confirm that the tales are rubbish, from personal experience with such soup.[1]
Trivia[]
- Mecopteran translates from Greek meaning "long wings" suggesting the creature likely has wings in addition to hands. In addition Mecoptera is an order of insects, colloquially known as scorpionflies, this could potentially mean that the creature is an insectoid.
