TACTICS

Adamantine wasps, being constructs, are non-intelligent and are programmed to carry out simple tasks such as "guard this room" or "attack any who enter here." When following their commands, adamantine wasps fight until destroyed. A swarm attacks by stinging its foes and injecting its blood-freezing poison.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Poison (Ex)

Swarm—injury; save Fort DC 17; frequency 1/round for 4 rounds; effect 1d4 Dexterity damage; cure 2 consecutive saves.

A creature reduced to Dexterity 0 freezes solid (similar to a flesh to stone spell) for 1d4 hours as his body hardens into ice. If reduced to 0 or less hit points while frozen, the creature shatters into pieces and dies. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Editor's Note
The skill required to assemble the body is missing in the source material, and the cost doesn't agree with the rest of the construction requirements.  GM's are encouraged to ignore the incomplete sentence.
