Alchemical Burst. When the alchemy beetle dies, it explodes in a burst of alchemical fluid. Each creature within 10 feet of it must make a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) damage of the same type it deals with its bite on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Objects that aren't being worn or carried in that area are damaged as well.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) damage of one of the following types (one type per individual beetle): acid, cold, lightning, or fire.

Description
The ancient giants created many alchemical wonders, some of which remain active and roam the broken ruins of their long-gone creators. The alchemy beetle is one of these.
Alchemical Reservoir. An alchemy beetle is created with a reservoir of alchemical fluid that deals one of the following types of damage: acid, cold, lightning, or fire. Once created, an alchemy beetle has enough liquid to deal its alchemical damage roughly 100 times. Only the giants knew how to refill a beetle, so ones that have run out remain empty.
Alchemy beetles that have run out of fluid do not have the Alchemical Burst trait and deal only 3 (1d4 + 1) piercing damage with their bite attacks. They have a reduced challenge rating of 1/8 (25 XP).
