Stingwings are creatures found in Appalachia.
Characteristics
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.
