The Rock Bee is a large and horrendous species of parasitic insect. It is one of the many insects that were bred by Tommyrod.
Anatomy
The Rock Bee is a large insectoid that can grow to be around 24 centimeters in length and reach up to a human's knee in height, and when fully grown it can weigh up to 1.3 kilograms. It is a grotesque insect in appearance which resembles a wasp more than a bee. It has a large abdomen and sharp pincers, as well as two large green eyes and four smaller ones in-between its main eyes.
Behavior
It picks its prey at random, eating its way in through the anus and laying its eggs in the gut.
Powers and Abilities
The Rock Bee is equipped with a stinger at the end of its tail which enables it to bring down beasts several hundred times its own size with a single prick. Rock Bee venom is particularly resistant to antibodies, so most creatures are vulnerable. With its wings it is capable of flying quite rapidly and it is able to survive in cold climates for an unknown amount of time.
Uses
The Rock Bee itself is not fit for consumption, however its venom can fetch a high price at medical institutes seeking to do research on its deadly poison.
History
Century Soup Arc
As Tommyrod and his team prepared to capture the Century Soup in Ice Hell, he summoned four of his insects, a Rock Bee, an Armor Hoihoi, a Spew Weevil and a Jam Grasshopper, to find and kill any other gourmet hunters that may be searching for the soup. All four beasts were eventually knocked out by Teppei.
