Eitherway the target is covered in pheromons and will be the next target of the vescavor swarm.

  Wave of Acid: (3 actions) A wave of acid emits from the vescavor queen. Each creature in a 15-foot cube originating from you must make a Constitution saving throw DC 14. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d8 acid damage and is pushed 10 feet away from it. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn’t pushed. In addition, objects that are completely within the area of effect fail the save automatically and are covered in acid and take a -2 on its durability.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the vescavor queen takes a lair action to cause one of the following magical effects but can't use two in a row:

  Swarmmother's Calling: The Vescavor queen spawns 2d4 vescavor swarm minions with 1 HP.
  Acid Drop: Each creature except vescavors must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity Saving throw or is covered in acidic pheromons. A creature that failed its saving throw takes each round 1d4 acid damage for one minute or if the creature uses a turn to clean itself from the acid and at the initial hit will spawn a vescavor minion that attacks the creature.   Inside the Swarm: Each non vescavor creature that isn't deafened must make a DC 14 Intelligence Saving throw or gets maddened by the buzzing. A creature that failed the saving throw gets one Fight madness.
