The honey beast is a mutated honey bee. It dwarfs a typical human in size, and features large beehives on its thorax that ooze honey. Due to its sheer size and stubby, severely frayed wings, it can no longer fly. As such, it moves around on the ground, although it can also walk on walls.
Gameplay attributes[]
Honey beasts move slowly, and when engaging with hostiles, they will release bee swarms from the hives on their backs causing an easy distraction for the beast to make its attack. They attack slowly but powerfully and can cause immense damage if they manage to lock the player character into a stagger. Fire and cryogenic weapons do not inflict additional damage to the honey beast.
A more powerful variant, the glowing honey beast is a honey beast that glows green. Like other glowing creatures it has been affected by high radiation levels and can spawn in blast zones.
