| General Introduction: Firebees are basically
honeybeelike insects, except they
have green and red stripes and the
proboscis (the nectarsucker
thingy) is covered with spiky
appendages that can hold small
things like needles.
|
| Combat: Firebees won't attack unless you
tick 'em off or do something dumb
like sticking your head in the
hive. They have large mandibles
which are very painful. You must
put pressure on the cut for a
round or it will get infected
because of bacteria in their
relatively harmless poison, which
takes effect after 5 minutes and
leaves the victim weak for 10
minutes.
They can also inject venom from a
range with a "stingshot". The
stinger on the abdomen is filled
with venom can be shot out when
the bee exerts pressure on its'
abdomen, by either tensing a
bunching up some muscles or by
smacking itself against a hard
surface. Since the stinger is made
of keratin(what your fingernail's
made of), it regenerates fully
once a week and the bee doesn't
die. |
| Habitat/Society: The firebee society is a basic
hive system with the queen and
such, but there can be multiple
queens in a hive, and then they're
called matriarchs. They have their
own language and can carry weapons
like pins and needles.
|
| Ecology: Firebee stingers make great
blowgun ammunition. Firebees can be
trained to guard treasures. |
