Stingwings appear to be a large, mutated form of scorpionfly, with protruding mandibles and a scorpion-like tail, ending in a bulbous and deadly stinger. They can often be found in swarms, and their unpredictable flying patterns and their poisonous stinger make them formidable opponents.
Biology[]
Sometime between the Great War and 2103, stingwings were mutated from irradiated scorpionflies which resulted in a larger stinger (in relation to body size because the whole creature is larger) and larger mandibles.
Gameplay attributes[]
Stingwings are fast and erratic fliers which often attack in swarms of three or five. They also use hit-and-run tactics which can make it difficult to attack them without V.A.T.S.
Variants[]
