Ride A Giant Beetle Into Battle In Pets & Sidekicks!

Beetles, ants, and spiders.... oh my!
Amongst the furry companions, scaled reptiles, and undead minions in Pets & Sidekicks is also a selection of insects. We've got spiders, of course, but we also have beetles and giant ants! Here's a quick look at the Beetles entry.

The stat block above shows you the beetle's unique heroic features. However, that's not the full story!
  • Like you, a heroic companion it levels up and gains hit dice, hit points, and proficiency bonuses.
  • At every odd level it gets to choose a combat training option like Attack Enhancement, First Blood, New Combat Maneuver, New Innate Spell, or New Spell Slot.
  • At levels 1, 4, 8, and 10 it gains heroic features which are listed in the stat block and which are unique to the creature.
  • Or it can choose from a menu of about 30 general heroic features like Awe-Inspiring, Dreadful Aspect, Fast Movement, Icky, Thunderous Stomp, and more.

Very nice. The Riding Beetle is a worthy steed. I am looking at these previews and thinking that maybe some of these would make good wild shape options for a Druid. :)
