The brood wasp, a, is a monster in SpliceHack. Brood wasps are very fast, and possess attacks that are very dangerous to unprepared players.

Upon hitting a player that is not thick-skinned with its inject larvae attack, there is a one in four chance that the brood wasp injects larvae into the creature. This is denoted by the message The brood wasp injects something into you!. 100-300 turns later, the player will take 10d4 damage as 2-4 baby brood wasps hatch from their body. Carrying brood wasp larvae is considered a major trouble for purposes of prayer, and can be cured via application of a unicorn horn.

Brood wasps and players polymorphed into brood wasps have a one in four chance of injecting larvae upon hitting a monster with 5 or less hit points. Upon doing so, if the attacker is the player, a tame baby brood wasp will be created. Otherwise, the monster is instantly slain.

Strategy

Due to their high speed, poisonous sting, and ability to create tame monsters, a brood wasp can be a useful monster to polymorph into, especially in the early game.
