Wrong Way Character in Legends of Elohey | World Anvil

Wrong Way

Character originally created by user "Paging Doctor KILLJOY"
Picture a lovable bear from children's stories who loves honey so much that he sometimes wears a bee costume.
Now, remove the bear from the costume.
What you have left is a lovable Giant Bee whose body is frequently streaked with pollen, nectar, pollen and nectar, or quite possibly actual honey.
Wrong Way might at any given moment be in dire need of a bath, is what one soon realizes!
 
Wrong Way is capable of combat, but prefers to avoid it. He tends to cling onto his bestest buddy Jesse Devonshire's back (or hat!) and buzz a warning if anything approaches from the rear. Sometimes this is Very Helpful Indeed. Sometimes this is the Opposite of Helpful.

Physical Description

Body Features

From d20 Pathfinder SRD with thanks:
Striking yellow and black markings and a coat of bristling hairs cover this immense bee. Its stinger is the size of a dagger blade. Everything is, in turn, probably covered in pollen and/or nectar, because Wrong Way is not a tidy bee at lunchtime.
Giant bees grow to approximately 5 feet in length, with a similar wingspan. These creatures weigh 60 pounds and live in their adult form for nearly 10 years. Giant bees’ stingers are not barbed like those of their diminutive counterparts, so these creatures can sting foes repeatedly and do not die after one sting.

Physical quirks

The more nectar Wrong Way eats, the bigger he gets, but on a "life" scale not a "combat time" scale.
Wrong Way ages extremely slowly for anything insect-like. He shows no signs of his calendar age at all. He took years to get from "baby bee" stage to "nearly an adult" stage.

Personality Characteristics

Vices & Personality flaws

Vulnerable to Smoke

Smoke from particularly smoky fires or effects (such as that created by a pyrotechnics spell) causes a giant bee to become nauseated if it fails a DC 14 Fortitude save. This condition persists as long as the giant bee remains in the smoke, plus 1d4 rounds.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Wrong Way's bestest buddy is Jesse Devonshire, a druid with a truly astounding chin.

Mannerisms

When WW is in the sky scanning for trouble, he drops a twig with a leaf on Jesse.
When he goes on break, he drops a twig without any leaf, again aiming for Jesse's close vicinity.
If he sees danger, he drops a nut on Jesse's head and flies closer to Jesse for mutual protection.

Wrong Way is a juvenile male Giant Bee, raised from infancy by and experiencing a significantly lengthened lifespan as a result.
For one thing, he actually started life believing that he was a Dire Bee! During an adventure, he accidentally doused himself in a magical potion, which faded eventually but never reversed itself. He stayed a Giant Bee. This is not how transformation potions work. So maybe it was a "reveal your true self" potion?
