Trivia
Origin
It is, as its name suggests, based on the Meganeura monyi species of dragonflies.
Name origin
Yanmega's name is a combination of 蜻蜓 yanma, large dragonfly in Japanese, and Meganeura, a species of gigantic prehistoric dragonfly. Its Japanese name means the same thing, albeit in reverse. Though, it could just simply be a combination of mega, meaning large, and yanma.
