Elf Bug Queens are the leaders of the hives of these communal fey. The queen appears as a normal-sized woman, naked but with a completely smooth skin of pale green to pale violet, displaying no obvious sexual organs and elf-like pointed ears. The queen has moth’s wings among other moth-like features like antennae and faceted eyes.
Elf bug colonies are only encountered in forests (treasure type E) or in their mystical grotto hives (treasure type F).
Special Abilities
Energy Bolts: Elf bug queens have the ability to fire energy bolts every other round; these energy bolts are exactly the same as the magic missile spell, as if it was cast by a 7th-level Magic-user.
Armed Defense: They also collect small weapons like shortswords, hand-axes, or other small hand weapons to defend themselves.
