Characteristics edit

Hell hornets are giant hornet-like monsters with large, stinger-bearing abdomens, a pair of scythe-like arms, and eight wings. They have green eyes with tiny pupils and are primarily burgundy and yellow in color. They often appear in groups and make deadly use of their stingers to paralyse victims in combat.
