GIANT Wasp
Giant Wasps are enormous versions of their insect counterparts, mutated to gigantic size by some sort of magic. These terrifying predators are often encountered in Plaguelands or places where the flow of magic through the area has mutated wildlife. Other times, they may be created intentionally by magicians, druids, or spirits looking to protect an area from incursion.
Aggressive Predators: Wasps are aggressive, predatory creatures who attack anything smaller than they are, either out of hunger or to protect their territory. There is almost nothing that a Giant Wasp will not attack, or at least probe for weakness before retreating and returning with backup.
Hive Dweller: Most Giant Wasps are part of a larger hive, building great nest complexes underground or in branches spanning several acres of trees. While they may seem to hunt and scout alone, there are often several other Giant Wasps nearby, ready to swarm an enemy within moments.
Poisonous Sting: Some types of Giant Wasp secrete a toxin through their stingers that can weaken, paralyze, or kill prey outright. Giant Wasps are immune to the venom of their own kind.
Vengeful Trackers: Giant Wasps emit a pheromone when killed which signals to other Giant Wasps in the area. Groups of Giant Wasps will track those who killed their hive-mates for days before losing the scent.

This black, dog-sized wasp is extremely aggressive, territorial, and dangerous. Though they may appear to hunt alone, there are almost always others of their kind nearby.
Role: Skirmisher; like most Giant Wasps, the Blackjack will encircle prey and strike with its stinger before retreating back to safety. It uses its flight to maximum advantage, dive-bombing its enemies then retreating back to the sky.
