Skills and Abilities

Giant Wasps are considered flying creatures, and thus snares and roots will not work on them. Red wasps in Craglorn use both abilities that are normally exclusive to colorations.

Bite

A basic melee attack that deals minor physical damage.

Charge

The wasp backs up, then flies forward, as indicated by a red rectangle, dealing moderate physical damage and knocking down its target. If the wasp doesn't hit anything, it is briefly stunned. Blocking prevents the knockdown.

Sting

The wasp extends its stinger and stabs its target with it, dealing moderate physical damage. This attack can be blocked to set the wasp off-balance. (Purple wasps only)

†This Giant Wasp is named "Wasp" but it is actually a Wasp Queen and it is vulnerable to crowd control despite being elite.

Notes

• Almost all Giant Wasps are simply called simply "Wasp". There are also small, passive creatures called Wasps, which may often be found in the same areas.
• Giant Wasps previously had an ability named Injection that would spawn Young Wasps, though this was removed at some point in a patch, with now only Wasp Queens being able to do so.
