Traits

The Arcane Beetle's natural element  is its resistance to attacks to the rear due to its rigid abdomen, and its resistance to spells and magical effects, making it challenging for spellcasters. However, its weakness lies in its relatively low physical defenses and vulnerability to non-magical attacks. Players can exploit this weakness by employing mundane weaponry or bypassing its defenses through clever tactics.

To pacify or neutralize an Arcane Bombardier Beetle, it must experience Harmonic Resonance Control. This involves manipulating the arcane frequencies  to disrupt its explosive reactions and calm its aggression.

Actions

Arcane Benzoquinone Blast:. The Arcane Beetle can unleash a cone-shaped blast of arcane energy in a 30-foot cone. Creatures caught in the blast must make a Dexterity saving throw or take damage. Additionally, creatures that fail their saving throws suffer from a lingering burning sensation, causing them to take additional damage over time - 1 Health for each of 3 rounds if being is hit by the blast.

 

Reactions

Harmonic Resonance Control causes the Arcane Beetle to become calm and become submissive for a period of time.
