Overview

Vespiquen are rarely seen in the wild, as they are almost constantly cloaked by walls of very protective Combee. Though capable of making honey, they rarely do so, relying on their Combee to bring back food for them. The six-celled undersides of their abdomens serve as nests for Combee grubs, which they (or rather, their workers) will protect at all costs. Conversely, the grubs will also protect their mothers with their lives. Much of the honey Vespiquen colonies collect goes towards feeding these offspring. There is only one Vespiquen in a hive; should another female Combee evolve, it will immediately be exiled by the reigning queen to form a new colony. The primary job of a Vespiquen is to birth and protect new Combee. When their colonies falter, Vespiquen can produce pheromones to command their grubs to do their bidding; they can use Attack Order to wear down foes, Defend Order to strengthen their own defenses, or Heal Order to replenish energy. Individuals with stronger pheromones can command a larger number of grubs more effectively. Vespiquen will repay outsiders who help defend their hives from attackers graciously with generous amounts of honey. They will viciously attack those who steal honey, however.

Evolves from Combee at Lvl 21 if female
