Vespoid Queen

The Queen Vespoid is the mother of a Vespoid nest. It is about 9 times larger than the hunter and has gigantic wings. In appearance, it looks similar to the average Vespoid but has a ridged exoskeleton on its back running, its wings are transparent and it has a ruby-like object on its head, hinting at its position of hive-queen. It has a large stinger on its tail that releases a gas which inflicts the Drop Defense ailment. When sprayed with the Queen Vespoid's gas, the Vespoids in the area become much more aggresive. Also, note that after slaying a Queen Vespoid you only get two carves, just like you would from one of the raptors.

Trivia

 * Although there was a "Queen Vespoid" in a Monster Hunter Freedom 2 Download Quest, it was simply an enlarged Vespoid which could inflict greater damage and had more health than its smaller companions. Its appearance in Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is the first time it has been an actual separate monster from regular Vespoids.


 * Even though you may not fight this until later in the game you can obtain a vespoid abdomen (the body of the queen it says so in the description) in the reward box of the attack of the giant bugs quest. also it says eggs are sometimes found inside the abdomen which suggests ant-like breeding.


 * To get one to appear in the jungle, kill all the Vespoids in areas 5,7, and 8, then kill some Vespoids in area 6, and she'll appear.
