Hornet

Hornets are flying enemies found in the Underground Jungle. They follow the Flying AI, floating just out of reach and then charging the player, while also firing stinger projectiles, in at an increased rate. These stingers have a 1/3 (33.3%) chance to inflict the Poisoned debuff to the player for 10 seconds. In Expert mode, the chance is 1/3 (33.3%) for 20 seconds and 2/3 (66.7%) for 2–10 seconds. They cannot be destroyed with weapons and travel at about the same speed as the darts from a Dart Trap.

Variants
All variants of Hornets have identical drops. The Moss Hornet is not a variant of the pre-Hardmode Hornet.

Trivia

 * Though the Dragon Hornet appears to have only one stinger like the Hornet, it can drop up to three.
 * In reality, a hornet is a type of wasp.
 * Despite real hornets not being able to shoot their stingers, they can sting multiple times and can potentially be fatal, especially to those who are allergic.
