A profoundly unnatural insect covered in vaguely metallic plates. Its stinger crackles with electricity, capable of delivering a powerful shock to unwary victims, and is capable of closing the distance with them at shockingly lethal speed.

Useful Info

Spark wasps are fast, flying tiny insects with an especially nasty electrocution sting and the blinkbolt spell at range. Sparkies are the insect equivalent of raijus. They are thankfully rare, only occasionally appearing in the Spider's Nest, and the Depths.

Tips & Tricks

Spark wasps are susceptible to poison, so Mephitic Cloud is your friend, and poison needles will deal damage to them quickly.
Alternatively, their low magic resistance makes it easy to affect them with Hexes or status effect-inflicting wands.

History
