I don't know how I feel about Astalos eating prey alive.

On the one hand, I guess it kind of makes sense for the Dragonfly to be too impatient to wait until its food was fully dead.

But on the other hand, Astalos seems more like the kind of monster that'd just keep savagely ripping at its prey until after it stops moving.
