Windwasp

The Wind Wasp is a flying-type mob monster in Sword Art Online.

Background
Wind Wasps are small flying type monsters with mediocre HP and Attack stats. Although Wind Wasps have no paralysis or corrosive acid ability, they are considered troublesome for their Ambush ability and their stings that can cause the Stun effect for 2-3 seconds. However, they give off a reasonably high amount of experience points, making it a good monster for hunting.

Wind Wasps drop the item Wind Wasp Needle at a rate of 8%. Its weak point is the base of its stomach.

Appearance
Wind Wasps are earthen black bee monsters with green stripes and ice pick-sized stingers. They are approximately 50 centimeters in length, a size that would make them the largest known insect if they had existed in reality. Despite their size, they are considered to be the smallest monsters in Aincard.

Abilities
The wasp has several types of attacks and when it begins diving towards its target, it assumes one of its possible body positions. If the body straightens as it opens its mandibles, it would initiate a «bite» attack, while if it bends in a < shape, it would be preparing for a stinger's attack, after which it would have a 5 second delay.
