    • The hellwasp swarm animates the corpse of a Small, Medium, or Large humanoid that protected by gentle repose or similar magic, crawling into its mouth and other orifices. Its size changes to that of the corpse and it loses its piercing and slashing resistances, fly Speed, and Hellwasp Stings.
    • It gains a fist melee Strike with a +18 attack modifier that deals 2d8 bludgeoning damage plus 2d8 piercing damage and hellwasp venom.
    • The hellwasp swarm gains 40 temporary Hit Points when it Infests a Corpse; when these temporary HP are depleted, the corpse falls apart and the swarm Abandons the Corpse automatically.
