Creature Creator[]

Fiend Tale[]

In the Fiend Tale endings, a notable Aculeate was created from the spirit of a Kilika youth who wanted to make a name for himself as a musician. He died when his ship was sunk by Sin and lost his mind to the constant buzzing of his wings where it drove him to kill before being saved by the Gullwings. Once able to hear his own heartbeat, Aculeate returns to Kilika and finds a youth much like himself. Knowing he cannot live his dream after what had done as fiend, Aculeate uses his buzzing to teach the youth his song before departing to the Farplane.

Etymology[]

Aculeate refers to a group of stinging insects, made up of wasps, bees, and ants.

Its Japanese name translates to Assassin Bee. The word assassin is often believed to derive from the word hashshashin (Arabic: حشّاشين, ħashshāshīyīn), and shares its etymological roots with hashish (/hæˈʃiːʃ/ or /ˈhæʃiːʃ/; from Arabic: حشيش ḥashīsh).

The meaning of the word Assassins is a secret order of Nizari Ismailis, particularly those of Persia and Syria, that formed in the late 11th century. Mentions of Assassins were preserved within European sources where they are depicted as trained killers, responsible for the systematic elimination of opposing figures.
