These terrors are each a foot long and resemble a cross between a scorpion and a dragonfly. They have a thick, shiny grey carapace and a long, segmented tail that ends in an oversized stinger.
Like the dragonflies they resemble, horrax are expert flyers, having the ability to hover and fly backwards. Horrax have long scorpion like tails tipped with barbed stingers which deliver a lethal poison.
These horrors came into being during the Great War, undoubtedly as some sort of biological weapon. The nature of their creation and the name of their creator are lost to history. Now, they are found in tropical regions - mostly forests, swamps and jungles.
Horrax resemble wasps in many ways. They live in hive communities led by a queen. They are exceptionally aggressive and feed on virtually anything - plant life, fresh meat, carrion, garbage. They have voracious appetites due to their high metabolism. Groups of horrax have been known to take down large animals such as horses and cattle with ease.
