Variant of Buzzer

Stingers are red variants of Buzzers found in Land's End in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. They have low physical attack, though they may also use the moves Thornet and Funguspike to inflict the Poison and Mushroom status effects respectively. Stingers usually fight either with other Stingers or random monsters like Fink Flowers. If their allies are defeated, they usually flee rather than fight.

Trivia

  • Stinger's Japanese Psychopath quote is a reference to a line spoken by Jonathan Joestar in the 1987 manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood. The choice of reference plays on Stinger's Japanese name, which itself plays off the word "beat." Stinger's English Psychopath quote, meanwhile, is a nod to the 1990 Madonna song "Vogue".[2]
