Xendar

Xendar are intelligent giant flying bugs characterized by long, thin bodies, translucent wings, and a formidable stinger. The strong wings of a xendar produce no sound in flight, allowing a xendar to covertly maneuver into a position where they may backstab a distracted opponent with their stinger.

Although all mature xendar understand the common tongue of Wesnoth, the architecture of their mouth does not allow them to speak it. Xendar speak a buzzing language of their own, called Xendari, which cannot be spoken by any race with a tongue.

The life cycle of xendar requires that they spend the first several years of their life in swamp water. Once mature and capable of flight, many xendar journey elsewhere, as they are naturally adventuresome. After many years of exploring the world, however, most xendar return to the swamp of their birth.

After a xendar attains the experience needed to advance to level 2, it remains level 1 but gains 6 hit points, 1 movement point, 1 vision point (allowing it to see a little farther than it can move), and +2 damage on its attacks. It also becomes more blue in coloration. If a xendar gains enough experience to advance to level 2 a second time, once again it remains level 1 and gains another 6 hitpoints, 1 movement point, and 1 vision point. Most significantly, however, this highly experienced xendar no longer needs to backstab an opponent to deliver doubled damage, as its accuracy with its stinger is so precise that it delivers doubled damage all the time, from any attack angle. A xendar of this variety is extremely rare, and they are often referred to by their nickname: "blue death."
