Description
A giant fire beetle is a nocturnal creature that takes its name from a pair of glowing glands that give off light. Miners and adventurers prize these creatures, for a giant fire beetle's glands continue to shed light for 1d6 days after the beetle dies. Giant fire beetles are most commonly found underground and in dark forests.

Posted Apr 26, 2021When I looked up how much they weigh I found a table with sizes and weighs but not for fire beetle’s specifically. It said a small creature weighs 8 lb.–60 lb. so how much would one weigh? 35lb?

Posted Jun 22, 2021Do these things have wings? I would think they should be able to fly, but no flight speed is listed.
