Rocky Armour. Boulder beetles build their armour from rocks they find lying around, therefore their AC value and resistances may vary based on the environment they are found in. whenever the boulder beetle takes bludgeoning, thunder or force damage, it's AC is reduced by 1 due to fragments of its armour breaking off.
Rolling blow. Melee Weapon Attack: +x to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: (1d4 + x) bludgeoning damage. the value of x is the number of 5ft spaces travelled in a straight line before performing the attack.
Scavenge. if the boulder beetle has had it's AC reduced to 12 or lower, it may attempt to scavenge nearby rocks to rebuild it's armour. roll 1d4 and add that to this creature's AC.
Description
Boulder beetles are a somewhat elusive form of creature that feed on various rocks and minerals, and are for the most part passive. if provoked however they will defend themselves by rolling at whatever they see as a threat in an attempt to crush them. Boulder beetles are entirely blind, instead relying on vibrations within the ground to get their bearings and locate nearby creatures.
