Origin: Geba (central plains, urban centers)
The Imperial Striking Wasp is a small insect of Geba's central plains and urban centers, 2–8 cm long with six large wings and a stinger the length of its body, delivering intense pain and temporary paralysis through nerve disruption without toxins. Attracted to sweet smells and bright colors, it remains passive unless provoked, its 2–3 month lifespan marked by rapid maturity in days and frequent warm-season reproduction to swarm hives. Pollinating plants with sweet flowers, it bolsters agricultural ecosystems, though its sting was a nuisance during the Era of Imperial Conquest in Geban markets, where cautionary tales warned of its potent sting. Limited to central plains and urban areas, it poses minor hazards but supports vital pollination, with guidance to avoid bright colors and sweet scents near hives and treat stings promptly to shorten paralysis.
