Vespoid

Vespoids are annoying, fragile, wasp-like insects found in all Monster Hunter games. Having a low resilience to most forms of damage, Vespoids will generally disintegrate when struck with a blow from a relatively powerful weapon. Thus, common practice throughout hunters to harvest the bounty of these insectoids is the use of poison smoke bombs for more widespread desalination or to inflict poison onto a single foe and allow them drop slowly. Even if poison is not applied, there still exists a slim chance for successful harvest which may be easier by kicking them and then carving from a slain corpse.

Usually found meekly permeating nearly every area of lower-ranked missions, Vespoids grow more formidable in G-ranked missions, withstanding more damage from direct attacks and surviving longer against poisons. They are also known to infinitely spawn near ledges of certain areas, giving no unfair advantage to height-exploiting Gunners.

In MHF2 occasionally, exceptionally large Vespoids, greater in size than the hunter, will be confronted. Some observers refer to these specimens as Queen Vespoids. These are quite a bit stronger than their smaller counterparts, able to take more damage and cause more on the receiving end.

Vespoids are commonly hunted for useful Monster Fluid and rare Vespoid abdomen, which allow creation of the only bowguns capable of firing Dragon S ammunition for gunners. Parts of these monsters are also used to craft specific sets of armor and the Insector series of Dual Swords.

With the release of MHP2G all Vespoids received a large accuracy increase, they are now intelligent enough to fly close to you without flying past you, they are also able to follow you up ladders and do more precise hit and run attacks. A new enemy the Queen Vespoid, was also added which was originally just a very large Vespoid in MHF2.
