Flickhorn

Flickhorns are unmistakably different from their Flick predecessors, with a larger body divided into three segments and two pairs of wings rather than just one. As their name suggests, they sport a horn above their eyes in the centre of their forehead. This horn packs a venomous sting that causes significant pain and sometimes even temporary paralysis, but they only use it as a last resort or to end an unavoidable conflict before it starts.


Their eyes maintain the same dull, red colour, but their bodies become distinctly purple and matte grey rather than blue and black. Their wings shimmer with the same glint that a cold winter sky might as particles of ice float in the air, and whenever those wings catch the sunshine, they appear to glow with its light.


Additionally, they have two arms, each ending with a mitten-like hand without fingers, but each hand does have a thumb. With these, they tend to build more complicated and permanent nests than the Flicks. Though they no longer live in vast colonies, they still produce wax and honey, leaving those who wish to harvest it with the difficult choice of delving into a Flick hive or a Flickhorn’s nest.
