The Rumble bee is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Rumble bees are bug monsters with the heads and wings of wasps combined with the bodies of scorpions. They have solid blue eyes and purple carapaces, with indigo-coloured segments on their thoraxes and tails. They have gained the ability to cast simple fire magic on their opponents, but are just as likely to flee at the first sign of danger. Their name is a play on "bumblebee".

Description Insectoid irritations with improbable intelligence, they excel at the Sizz spell and flee at the first sign of defeat. Cowardice is the better part of valour, after all.

Dragon Quest X

Rumble bee appeared from the beginning of the game. It now has the ability to inflict paralysis with its attacks and cast both Woosh and Acceleratle.
