Endrega Worker
Endrega workers are the largest caste in an endrega colony. They build the nest, gather food and look after the brood. The bestiary quotes a trapper who thought the workers were harmless and quickly learned otherwise. Other castes include the drones, the colony’s males, and the warriors that defend it.
Workers bite with venomous jaws, stab with sharp spurs on their limbs and can spray acid from several paces away. They rarely travel alone. Groups of six or more are common, and they like to surround a target and strike from every side. They look slow but close distance surprisingly fast, and if threatened they call warriors for help. Like other insectoids, they barely suffer from bleeding.
In The Witcher 3, workers swarm around endrega nests. On Ard Skellig, six of them pour into a cave pit after two warriors in Contract: Skellige’s Most Wanted. In Toussaint, two help guard the vineyard nest during Wine Wars: Belgaard. They drop endrega hearts, chitinous shells and assorted monster parts.
Combat strategy
The danger with workers is numbers, not any single bug. Keep your back clear, pick them off one at a time from the edge of the group, and dodge out before they close the circle. Watch for the acid spray when you back away, since they can hit you from several paces. In Wine Wars: Belgaard, destroying the nest is part of clearing the infestation.
