A mechanical insect powered by an intricate array of gears and springs. It is vicious and resiliant to damage, but its clockwork naturally winds down as it attacks, eventually leaving it unable to move until its creator winds it again.

Useful Info

Clockwork bees are tiny mechanical insects created by the Launch Clockwork Bee spell. They fixate on a target selected by the caster and run out of power after a few turns, after which the creator needs to attempt to move into its tile to wind it back up.

Dormant clockwork bee

A mechanical insect powered by an intricate array of gears and springs. It has run out of power and can only be rewound by its creator moving into it.

* A dormant clockwork bee has 13 AC and 0 EV instead of the values given in the info box, and does not fly.

Clockwork bees turn dormant after running out of attacks or if there are no hostile targets available. If it turns dormant over deep water or lava, it will die.

History

• In 0.33, clockwork bees were added, along with Launch Clockwork Bee.
