Homebrew Beetlin Species Details
The Beetlins(Beetle-ins) are a race of insect-like humanoids originating in the Xe'Vul Jungle (And now the Xe'Vul Savannah) that most resemble Hercules Beetles. They are very strong and hearty folk, typically they are also very welcoming and social with other races, while being semi-reclusive with each other. Beetlins are born from eggs and hatch after about 30 days of incubation, after which they stay in a larval state for about 3 years and will then transition into a pupal state for a month in which they will then emerge from the pupa as an adult Beetlin. Beetlins typically live for about 125 years, in which the older Beetlins are stronger than the younger Beetlins.
