Somewhat rare and elusive, Vesp Scavengers show little outward difference
between themselves and the other varieties of vesp,
although close examination
and observation will reveal the differences.
Like the other subspecies of vesp,
Scavengers are tough and possessed of a
nasty temperament, and are quick to attack anything that approaches closely
enough to be sensed. Quick identification of subspecies is critical when
approaching these creatures, because the harsh, acidic Lokkian environment has
forced them to evolve unusually high resistances to acid and electrical energy.
By contrast, Mountain Vesps are
highly resistant to heat and cold. Therefore,
improper weapon selection when defending oneself from vesps can be a fatal
error to any would-be naturalist.
As implied by their name, Vesp Scavengers will devour almost anything. They
have been seen greedily consuming carrion so putrid that observers have
difficulty approaching closely enough to conduct proper research. Their acidic
metabolism is even thought to be capable of metabolizing the dried branches of
what little vegetation exists on the planet.
Vesp Scavengers are generally seen intermingling freely with other subspecies
of vesp, and will eagerly rush to aid any nestmate who feels threatened. Their
swarming, aggressive fighting style frequently seems overwhelming to any foe,
and their putrid breath is so foul that many observers report it induces nausea
so severe that they feel dizzy.
