Actions

Multiattack. The Soldier Bumble can attack once per round with their stinger, and once per round with their mandibles.
Mandible. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) slashing damage plus 2 (1d4) acid damage. When hit by mandible attack, target must roll a STR save DC 16 or become grappled. While grappled, Soldier Bumble has advantage on stinger melee attacks against the target. Target may re-roll save at the start of each of their turns.
Stinger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 15/30 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) acid damage. When hit with the stinger, target must roll a CON save DC 16. On failure acid continues to eat away at the target for 1d8 of acid damage every round until the target passes the save. (When fired as ranged attack, Soldier Bumble loses it’s stinger attack until finishing a long rest.).

Soldier Bumble

The Bumble Hive is a hive of large bee-like beasts that thrive in the jungles of the Valley of Beshaba. Feeding on the pollen of the enhanced flora in the region, these creatures have evolved into a dominant species in their habitat. The Soldier Bumble are the weaponized members of the Bumble Hive responsible for protecting the hive prioritizing the safety of the Queen Bumble over all others. Armed with deadly acid in their stingers and mandibles, these Bumble are not to be trifled with.
