Corn Hornets are insect enemies first seen in Treetop Terrace in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. These hornets shoot painful stingers that temporarily stun Skylanders when hit. A hornet's stinger can be dodged from afar, but is impossible to miss when close. If one's needle gets you, shake the controller as instructed onscreen.

In the 3DS version of Swap Force there are clockwork versions of the Corn Hornets, who were first encountered in the Ancient Woods, which are part of Count Moneybone's Clockwork Army.

Corn Hornets also make an appearance in the Full Blast Skylanders comic, as minions of Cross Crow. Instead of stunning their targets, their stingers cause them to lose consciousness for a short amount of time.

• In Eruptor's Heroic Challenge, Isle of the Automatons, a greener variant of Corn Hornets appear.
