Description
The Conductive Hornet Queen, is a small sized insect around 2.5 feet tall. Normally not seen out of the hive, the Conductive Hornet Queen naturally charges its body and stores its electrical current its hive. She changes the frequency of the electric field to send signals to other Conductive Hornets when the hive is under attack calling them to deal with intruders.
Lair and Lair Actions
The Conductive Hornet Queen's hive is a large hivelike structure, made from conductive metals combined together. Commonly found within areas containing large amounts of natural or processed conductive metals. The electric field generated by the Conductive Hornets and their hive unnerve nearby fauna and drive them out of the area, allowing them to harvest more material for their nest and food for their hive. The inside of the hive is perfect for the Conductive Hornet Queen and her hornets, having combs filled young larva, food, and a conductive alloy gel that the hornets use to grow and mold their hive.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 15 (losing initiative ties), the Conductive Hornet Queen takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Conductive Hornet Queen can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- A bolt of lightning arcs from the Conductive Hive and strikes an enemy within 20 feet, dealing 1d8 lightning damage.
- Lightning discharges from the Conductive Hive dealing 1d10 lightning damage to all targets within 10 feet of its location.
- The Conductive Hive strikes a nearby Conductive Hornet, charging it with electricity and dealing 1d10 lightning damage.
- A bolt of lightning jumps to a nearby enemy within 10 feet dealing 1d6 lightning damage, and arcing to another nearby enemy within 5 feet, up to 1d4 times.
Regional Effects
The region containing a Conductive Hornet Queen's Hive is covered in an electric field, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Player's hair starts to gradually stand up within 1/4 of a mile from the Hive. This effect gets stronger the closer players get.
- Player's can feel a slight tingling sensation in their body within 1/4 of a mile from the Hive. This effect gets stronger the closer players get.
- Players who wear or touch metal can feel a slight shock from time to time within 1/4 of a mile from the Hive. Becoming more frequent the closer they get to the hive.
If the Conductive Hornet Queen dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
