Stinger
A stinger (or more correctly, sting) is a common term for a sharp organ or body part found in various animals and plants that usually delivers some kind of venom (usually piercing the skin of another animal) or an electric shock. A poisonous sting differs from other piercing organs in that it pierces by its own action, as opposed to teeth, which pierce by the force of jaws, or thorns, which pierce by the action of the victim.
