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

| | '''Stingers''' are large [[bee]]s found in [[Land's End]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. They have low physical attack, though they may also use attacks called "[[Thornet]]" (which poisons) and "[[Funguspike]]" (which changes a party member into a [[Mushroom (status effect)|Mushroom]]). Stingers usually fight either with other Stingers or random monsters (usually [[Fink Flower]]s), and if their allies are defeated they usually [[Flee|run away]] rather than fight. Stingers have weaker relatives called [[Buzzer]]s. |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Stinger's Japanese [[Thought Peek|thought]] is a reference to a line spoken by Jonathan Joestar in the 1987 manga ''{{wp|Phantom Blood|JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood}}''. The choice of reference plays on Stinger's Japanese name, which itself plays off the word "beat." Meanwhile, Stinger's thought in the English [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version is a nod to the 1990 {{wp|Madonna}} song {{wp|Vogue (Madonna song)|"Vogue"}}.<ref>Clyde Mandelin (June 29, 2020).
