Appearance: This thumb-tip-sized silver figurine is intricately shaped like a scarab.

Abilities:

• Animation Command: By saying "Tikar," the beetle animates, following the mental directives of the owner within a 500-foot range for 8 hours.
• Maneuverability: The beetle can traverse any solid surface and navigate tight spaces, limited to a 500-foot operational radius from its owner.
• Visual Transmission: Provides visual feedback without audio, limited by its movement for perspective adjustments.
• Deactivation: Returns to an inanimate state after 8 hours or on command; if not retrieved, it remains stationary until reactivated.

Usage Limitation: The owner must stay within 500 feet to maintain visual reception from the beetle.

History: Crafted for discreet observation, Tikar's Scout Beetle is a valuable tool for those requiring stealthy reconnaissance, especially in sensitive or dangerous locales.
