Beetles usually feed on carrion, but monstrous varieties rarely pass up a warm meal. A fire beetle has two fiery glands that continue to glow for about 12 hours after the beetle’s death; these can be removed and used as torches. Tangler beetle saliva is sticky enough to hold fast a giant, but it dries and loses its stickiness a few minutes after exposure to air. Rot scarabs gather in tombs and graveyards.
Humanoids use fire beetles and tangler beetles for light and protection, respectively. Rot scarabs inhabit the Shadowfell and places touched by death.
Fire Beetles and Tangler Beetles are Unranked, however a Rot Scarab Swarms have been known to strip a human of flesh in a a minute flat; as such it has been given an E Rank.
