Hornet

Hornets are powerful flying enemies found only in the Underground Jungle. They follow the standard Flying AI, floating just out of reach and then charging the player, while also firing stingers which have a 1 in 3 chance to poison the player for 10 seconds. These projectiles can NOT be destroyed with weapons and travel at about the same speed as the darts from a Dart Trap.

Variants
There are several variants of Hornets, all of which have the same drops. There are two exceptions: the Moss Hornet (which spawn in Hardmode) and the Dragon Hornet (console exclusive.)
