A single hellwasp resembles a thumb-sized normal wasp, except its carapace is gleaming black with ruby-red stripes, and its compound eyes are an iride[[SRD:Scent|scent]] green. In swarms, hellwasps form a collective hive mind intelligence with infernal cunning and bloodlust.
===COMBATCombat===
Like any swarm, a hellwasp swarm seeks to surround and attack any living prey it encounters. A swarm deals 3d6 points of damage to any creature whose space it occupies at the end of its move. The swarm can take over the bodies of its prey and infest both the living and the [[SRD:Dead|dead]], using them as horrible living (or unliving) puppets to accomplish acts of wickedness that a swarm of insects could never attempt.
