#Lore24 Beasts of UslaCairne #Creature24 Fire Bees and Magma Wasps

 That honey coming from that hive is not the kind that you want to be eating. 

--Fenris Cattlehyde, Ranger, Sorgash Mountains.

Roughly the size of a falcon, Fire Bees and their more slender opponents Magma Wasps have adapted to the environment surrounding the Obsidian Sands with two of the most ingenious and painful attacks in the realm.  These oversized insects harvest heat, flame and molten rock from the edges of the Core, carrying it across the sands and use it in giant hives to keep their brood warm in the Sorgash mountains the bees produce honey from laurel plants that grow natural in the area, which causes lasting hallucinations to anyone who ingests it.  Fire Bees and Magma Wasps are natural enemies and will fight over territory, the wasps are usually the aggressors actively attempting to take over bee hives
