It might be venomous after all, but they're more willing to smash than to poison.

Which makes sense, it's hard to sting something that is constantly jumping around, especially when you're so big you cannot quite keep up the pace enough to pin them down.

Well, that, and the only DS we've seen fight so far was trapped in a cave for who knows how long, so it might just be an idiot.

@Anon: It was clearly stated that the Academies were founded after the Great War, in it's respective WoR. And the Great War was about 80 years before RWBY begins.

It could not have been destroyed in the war because the Academies did not exist back then. And it could not have been rebuilt hundreds of years later unless your fanfic is set centuries after RWBY.
