Stingwing (Fallout 76)

Stingwings are creatures found in Appalachia in 2102.

Background
Stingwings were created by radiation at some point between the start of the Great War and 2287. They are known to build large clusters of nests on the ground and walls, with nests themselves oozing a bright yellow sap akin to honey from their entrances. When these nests are approached multiple stingwings will emerge to fiercely defend them from potential threat.

Characteristics
Stingwings appear to be a large, mutated form of scorpion fly, with protruding mandibles and a scorpion-like tail, ending in a bulbous and deadly stinger. They can often be found in swarms, and their unpredictable flying patterns and their poisonous stinger make them formidable opponents.

Biology
Sometime between the Great War and 2102, stingwings were mutated from irradiated scorpion flies which resulted in a larger stinger (in relation to body size because the whole creature is larger) and larger mandibles.

Gameplay attributes
Stingwings are fast and erratic fliers which often attack in swarms of three or five. They also use hit-and-run tactics which can make it difficult to attack them without V.A.T.S. Stingwings will make nests which they will emerge from in a swarm when something approaches.

Locations

 * Can always be found southwest of Black Bear lodge.
