Vespoid Queen
A massive thorax and brilliant, gigantic wings mark the Vespoid Queen. It commands its subjects through unique flight patterns, and will stab any intruders with a poisonous stinger that also causes paralysis. It also spits acidic bodily fluid at its prey.
The queen of the Vespoids. It does not move fast, but it unleashes powerful attacks. Its corrosive fluid is the most dangerous: it halves a hunter's defense and sets the nearby Vespoids on them. Watch out just as much for the command it gives after its figure-eight flight, which makes every Vespoid in the area gang up on one hunter. The Queen has low resistance to abnormal status, so stop it in its tracks with a weapon that has the Paralysis element. Flash Bombs are also very effective and seal the nearby Vespoids' movements at the same time, so they are recommended.
