The Wing Lizard (unofficial name) is an enemy in Contra: Hard Corps. It is a rather large dragonfly, mutated from a common dragonfly, that attacks in swarms.
Description
Encountered in the Jungle stage, right after the initial Ukkis onslaught. The Hard Corps arrive to the base of a gigantic tribal statue in the middle of the jungle; then, without warning, its head suddenly falls off, almost crushing them, and four Wing Lizards then emerge from behind it. Once these insectoid enemies have been dealt with, a couple more mid-sized ones will emerge, and after those, a last one with a much longer tail and possessing twice as much resilience will appear.
Wing Lizards fly fast and in random patterns, and after a moment they will launch in a dive directly at the player. Their head is their weak spot. It's recommended to deal with each one as quick as possible; and because of their semi-erratic behavior, use a weapon with homing capabilities that can do most of the work by itself.
The four small ones possess 5 HP each, the mid-sized ones contain 10 HP each, and the last, longest one has 20 HP.

Trivia
- The Mutant Dragonfly, a boss that appears in Contra: Legacy of War and C: The Contra Adventure, resembles a giant version of the Wing Lizard, probably intended to be a boss version or an evolution of this enemy.
