Description
CR 2 : DCR 1 - OCR 3
Charjabugs are cuboid, mobile cocoon creatures the size of a dog, created by Grubbins. They are the adolescent form of a species of beetle able to feed on, generate, and manipulate electricity. Their bodies consist of three armored segments with ring-like markings on the sides, and six stubby brown legs. Their faces have two large eyes and two short, yellow tusk-like spikes on each side of their rectangular grey mouths, which have two jaws that close sideways.
Charjabugs can move around by dragging themselves like a stiff caterpillar, or accordion, but they rarely do so, simply moving to relocate to new areas once they finish eating all of the decaying matter there. They have an electricity-generating organ in their bodies, turning their food into fuel able to create surprisingly potent electrical discharges, which they do so sparingly as it costs them a lot of energy. When they do so, the spots on their sidess and their eyes glow from within.
They are known to have great control over that electricity, being able to share it in the form of raw magical energy with other creatures, empowering their own lightning-related abilities. The most common recipients for this ability are Vikavolts, their adult beetle form, which are able to fly and fire blasts of lightning, but some spellcasters do keep them as pets too.
