Giant wasp

A giant wasp was a monstrous version of the common wasp.

Combat
They attacked when hungry or threatened, usually taking the dead bodies of their victims to the hive where it could be consumed by young wasps.

Habitats
Giant wasps were one of the few insects known to thrive in the North. They were also known to inhabit the Rimwood of Cormanthor and the Moonshae Isles. In the Shining South, they were known to inhabit the Mortick Swamp.

A small number of awakened giant wasps served the druid Wyllow within her domain of Undermountain.

Usage
The Fire Knives coated their knives with the poison of giant wasps.

An amber amulet of vermin contained a wasp that would be released, at which point it would become a giant wasp.
