Swarm of Vespons
Medium Swarm of Tiny monstrosities, Any Good AlignmentVespons are plump, insect-like creatures with six stubby limbs on their thorax. Their backs are protected by a chitinous exoskeleton, and a tough underbelly encases their vital organs. When vespons beat their wings quickly they produce a continuous buzzing sound. A vespon can sustain this buzz for about an hour. The pair of antennae on a vespon's head are sensitive and allow it to smell flowering plants and detect nectar across great distances.
To collect nectar, vespons plunge themselves head-first into a flower. They eat their fill before storing the remaining nectar in a special sac to take back to their hive. The fuzzy, bright yellow hair covering their bodies collects pollen from flowers. Vespons carry this pollen to other flowers as they feed, performing the vital role of pollinator for both floral dragons and true plants.
