So my party is about to come across some skeletons trying to build a pirate ship to escape a cursed island. I'd love for them to have to fight a giant beetle that ate the flesh of the last pirates and left them as skeletons (and other adventurers who have tried to escape this way).
Anyone got a share-able homebrew giant beetle in the CR 1-2 range?
Maybe just use Ice Spider, but swap out cold resistance with acid resistance, and swap out the recharging web with a recharging (3d6? 2d6?) acid spit ranged attack? Maybe also drop web sense/web walker, in favor of a 15' fly speed where the beetle has to end its turn landed.

I'm going to make this way harder than it needs to be.
This Link should take you to a list of all beasts with CR1 and CR2.

Awesome, thanks guys!
I think that the Ahkheg nails what I needed as the "big bad" if they defeat the skeleton Minotaur and his minions.
