[QUOTE="Aspect of BOZ, post: 3250875, member: 41113"] started here, will continue on as time allows... “Meet the Beetles” The 3.5 Monster Manual presents us with 3 varieties of giant beetle; the bombardier, fire, and stag beetles. However, more than a few types of oversized beetle exist, and this article would present some of the best from D&D’s past: Giant Boring Beetle Large Vermin, CR 3 These beetles bore into rotting wood and other organic material, and are usually found inside huge trees. Their oversized mandibles give them a powerful bite. A nest of boring beetles forms a hive mind, and when enough of them get together than can even gain enough collective intelligence to be as smart as a human. Giant Rhinoceros Beetle Large Vermin, CR 5 These jungle-dwelling beetles have a pair of mandibles, as well as a tremendous horn for goring opponents. Its brightly-colored shell is valuable as a decorative piece. Giant Water Beetle Medium Vermin, CR 2 These freshwater beetles inhabit shallows and hunt using scent and tremorsense. A water beetle can hold its breath for extended periods of time. Water beetles cause considerable damage to shipping operations, as they attack and sink craft to get at the tasty morsels inside.
