Hunter Notes

Monster Characteristics:
Neopterons with paralyzing poison stingers on their abdomens. Since Vespoids are attracted to light, hunters can use brightmoss to mark large monsters, which Vespoid will then attack and paralyze. To finish off a Vespoid without damaging its delicate materials, a hunter must avoid blunt trauma and use attacks that gradually drain its health. Vespoid fluids are useful for crafting with monster bones.

Ecology & Habitat

Vespoid are among the most adaptable small monsters in the Wilds, found in nearly every locale except the Windward Plains. They are opportunistic and thrive in diverse environments, though they share a common trait across regions: an aggressive attraction to sources of light, which often leads them into conflict because of hunters.

Physiology

Vespoid possess dark brown exoskeletons, solid red eyes, and six hooked legs for gripping surfaces. Their abdomens are slightly swollen and end in three sharp stingers capable of delivering potent paralytic venom. Four thin, brown-tinged wings with purple highlights—two on each side, with the forewings slightly larger—allow for swift, erratic flight. Their constant motion and agility make them difficult targets, particularly in groups.

Attacks & Abilities

These insects primarily attack by thrusting their stingers into foes, injecting venom to incapacitate them. They also ram targets mid-flight, using their bodies as blunt weapons. While individually fragile, Vespoid become a serious hazard when encountered in swarms, overwhelming hunters with relentless assaults.
