A brood wasp: | |
The brood wasp, a, is a defunct monster in SpliceHack, which has since been replaced by ichneumon. Brood wasps were very fast, and possessed attacks that were very dangerous to unprepared players.
Upon hitting a player that is not thick-skinned with its inject larvae attack, there was a one in four chance that the brood wasp injected larvae into the creature. This was denoted by the message The brood wasp injects something into you!. 100-300 turns later, the player would take 10d4 damage as 2-4 baby brood wasps hatch from their body. Carrying brood wasp larvae was considered a major trouble for purposes of prayer, and could be cured via application of a unicorn horn.
Brood wasps and players polymorphed into brood wasps had a one in four chance of injecting larvae upon hitting a monster with 5 or less hit points. Upon doing so, if the attacker was the player, a tame baby brood wasp would be created. Otherwise, the monster was instantly slain.
