Queen Bee

The Queen Bee may be summoned by breaking the large larval cell inside a Hive of the Underground Jungle or using an Abeemination anywhere within the Jungle. They are immune to the Confused debuff.

Behavior
The Queen Bee has three distinct attack patterns.


 * The Queen Bee will repeatedly fly back and forth, ramming into the player.
 * Similar to Eye of Cthulhu, the Queen Bee fires bees (as a replacement of Eyes) while hovering above the player.
 * Similar to regular Hornets, the Queen Bee will rapidly fire poisonous stingers at the player.

Tips

 * While the Queen Bee is charging at you, focus on dodging rather than dealing extra damage.
 * Multi-hit, piercing magic, such as Water Bolt or Book of Skulls, or piercing ranged attacks, such as Meteor Shot, are very effective against the Queen Bee especially during her second attack pattern. The bees do little damage, but have high annoyance value as they can push the player around if a Cobalt or Obsidian Shield isn't equipped. The bees can be destroyed, and have a chance of dropping a heart or a star.
 * Equipping a Bezoar can eliminate the residual effects from the poisonous stingers.
