Wasp

In The Unholy War, this character represents the low-cost, high-mobility archetype within the Teknos army. Developed by Toys for Bob, the unit utilizes its aerial maneuverability to harass slower ground-based Arcane opponents, relying on rapid-fire plasma shots and a devastating kamikaze dive-bomb maneuver to disrupt enemy formations in both the real-time arena battles and the hex-based strategy mode.

Within the dark sci-fi universe of Shadow Master, designed by Hammerhead and published by Psygnosis, these agile adversaries serve as scout units. They deploy in large numbers to overwhelm the player's armored vehicle, utilizing high-speed strafing runs and quick retreat patterns to chip away at player shields.

For the Legend of the River King series on the Game Boy Color, the insect functions within the title's detailed ecological simulation. Players must actively forage in specific seasonal environments to secure them, as they serve as a critical bait class required to lure rare, high-value freshwater predators that ignore standard lures. Across these diverse late-1990s releases, the name consistently denotes speed, swarming tactics, and biological or mechanical precision.
