The final, and arguably coolest, mashup in this collection.
This massive stingray has the coloration of a monarch butterfly; it gracefully swims through the water, and then emerges to continue its graceful movements in the air.

Some legends relate how faerie creatures had no set form in their primal dimension; it was not until they visited the mortal realms that they decided on appearances that pleased them. Many took on an idealized humanoid guise, but an occasional outlier would see beauty in the fauna or flora of the world. Monarch stingrays melded the delicate appearance of the monarch butterfly with the streamlined form of the stingray, and they remained in that shape. Though beneficent creatures, monarch stingrays often startle and spook those unaccustomed to the sudden appearance of a flying stingray. Their inability to speak Common does not help matters, and they must resort to their spell-like abilities to escape frightened mobs.
