Talk:Hornet

I tried to make a house in the jungle, but the Hornets kept going through my roof. Anyone experienced the same problem? --Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.47.160.151 (talk • contribs) 04:10, May 30, 2011
 * I noticed that if a passage is just high enough vertically to fit a mob, they will occasionally pass through the ceiling/floor if those are 1 block thick only. Increasing the thickness of your house walls should stop this problem, or simply clear away the area around the house. Let us know if you're still getting mobs entering your house after doing that. - Spinfx 01:52, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

entering water
in a world of mine while I was in the underground jungle this enemy entered the water(in version 1.0.5) even though it wasn't supposed to; is that a bug or an anomaly?

 * Yeah, I saw a couple of them flying into submerged areas as well just now. - Spinfx 14:52, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: It's likely a bug, I've watched them willingly fly into water, not forced into it due to a narrow passage or anything. It's like they ignore water. The thing is, they don't always do this - most of the time they do just hover above it. Strange. - Spinfx 01:52, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Not the Bees.
Hornets seem to be the most annoying enemy to me. They seem to always spawn in very large groups, shooting unavoidable stingers at me, and leading to a quick death. Anyone agree that the Hornets should have a attack nerf? --Preceding unsigned comment added by SuperGamerHero (talk • contribs)

Bezoar/Cobalt Drop rate
I'm not convinced Hornets drop Bezoars at a rate of 1%, if at all. I tried with Moss Hornets for a while before realising it was regular hornets that are meant to drop them. I have 4 ancient cobalt drops and 0 bezoar drops from around ~150-200 hornets. 86.142.206.182 19:07, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

I completely agree. I spent 2-3 hours killing hornets last night in the easymode jungle, and after a pile of ancient cobalt drops, I have exactly zero bezoar. --Getterac7 (talk) 20:32, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

The drop rates don't seem that bad for me. I didn't spend to much time in the underground jungle before hardmode, but I had two.

More varieties
I've noticed that there are some varieties of easymode hornets with a plant-like armor covering on, and another variety with a yellow head an d black stripe on their heads. Can somebody add those varieties to the hornet page?
