 '''Hornets''' are a dangerous flying insect. In addition to [[poison]], their stings will [[slow]] (always) and [[paralyse]] (1/6 chance) you for 1-3 turns. Poison resistance only has a 66% chance to prevent the slow and paralysis; you need poison immunity to be safe.

 *Hornets are poison vulnerable, so most poison effects work well. [[Curare]] darts deal significant damage and slow the hornet to average speed.

 *Paralysis is always an ''extremely'' dangerous effect. If you are paralysed for 3 turns, hornets can attack you up to 5 times in a row, which can easily kill you (5 * 18 = 80, not including poison itself). If you aren't immune to poison, you should take extreme caution with hornets. This isn't even mentioning the slow, which is a dangerous effect on its own.
