Homebrew Waspfolk Species Details
Waspfolk are giant bipedal wasps. They are far smarter than regular wasps, with intelligence comparable to humans, and the ability to speak and understand languages. Waspfolk look like their smaller relatives, with black and yellow stripes all over their bodies. They have sharp stingers with venom glands that can be used for defensive purposes. Just like antfolk, waspfolk have “queens” who lead a waspfolk hive.
