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.
