Frequently found in forested regions, this beetle primarily scavenges for food above ground. It will collect decaying matter into a large heap and there lay its eggs.

Special Abilities

Noxious Gas — When attacked it has a 50% chance to release an 8-ft cube of noxious gas. The gas will cause 3d4 hp of damage and the sound of its release will stun (20% chance) and deafen (20%) all within a 16-ft radius. The stun effect will prevent action for 2d4 rounds and the deafness will persist for 2d6 rounds. The cloud can be released every 3rd round (e.g., 1st and 4th) but not more than twice in 8 hours.
