SPECIAL ABILITIES
Luminescence (Ex) A fire beetle’s glowing glands provide light
in a 10-foot radius. A dead fire beetle’s luminescent glands
continue to glow for 1d6 days after its death.
Although nocturnal, the fire beetle lacks darkvision—
it relies on its own glowing glands for illumination.
Caged fire beetles are a popular source of long-lasting
illumination among eccentrics and miners.
Other variations on the common fire beetle exist. The
two most common variants are detailed below.
Mining Beetle (CR 1/2): A mining beetle is an
advanced fire beetle with the advanced simple
template and a burrowing speed of 20 feet.
Flash Beetle (CR 1/2): A f lash
beetle is an advanced fire beetle
that can create a bright flash of
light once an hour. When
a f lash beetle does so,
all creatures in a 10foot
burst must
make a DC 12
Fortitude save
or be dazzled
for 1d3 rounds.
The save DC is
Constitution-based.
With a sleek body and huge mandibles raised in a threatening
pose, this large beetle stands firm in defense of its territory.

Nearly 10 feet long, giant stag beetles become serious
dangers when they wander into logging camps due to their
appetite for decaying wood. Called stag beetles because of
their large, antler-like mandibles, they use these appendages
to wrestle competing suitors and quickly
put down enemy threats.
Variant species of these giant
beetles exist as well. The two
detailed below are the ones most
commonly encountered.
Bombardier Beetle (CR 2): This
giant stag beetle has only 2 Hit
Dice and is Medium sized, but can
spray acid once per round in a 10-foot
cone. Those in the cone must make
a DC 11 Fortitude save or take 1d4+2
points of acid damage. The save DC is
Constitution-based.
Goliath Beetle (CR 8):
The immense goliath
beetle is a Huge
stag beetle with
12 HD and
the trample
special ability.
