[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5095829, member: 57383"] I'm happy to keep them at Cheetah-speed, since most tiger beetles are very fast, but I'd rather drop the burrow speed in that case. If I recall correctly, those beetles that live underground or in leaf-litter are nowhere near as fast as the speedy surface species. The high-speed species also have long legs, which would make burrowing difficult. How about my suggestion of dropping Burrow from the regular version and adding a Burrowing Tiger Beetle subentry with speeds that are a closer match to the original's?
