Special Abilities

Fire Spray (Su)

Once per encounter as a standard action, the fire beetle can spray fire in a 15-foot cone (auto-hit). This deals fire damage, with a Reflex save DC for half damage.

Fire Beetle (Summoned)

Fire beetles are deadly threats. If one of them manages to get into your house, they cause fires. As a result, most places have bounties on them. Exterminating them is generally considered a high priority in civilized areas. They are given far more attention than their low CR might otherwise indicate.

Combat Tactics

Fire beetles are the very definition of stupid. They will run up to you and try to eat you, though they prefer their food cooked (mmm, caramelized), so they will always use Fire Spray early in a fight.

Note that Fire Beetles are immune to their own Fire Spray attacks, so they will use them with wild abandon. Which is lucky, since they're vastly stupid.

Out of Combat

Out of combat, fire beetles can use Fire Spray once per minute.

Rewards

XP: 0

Treasure: Sellable Goods worth 0 gp.

Weight: 5 lbs. Volume: 0.2 cu. ft.

Optional Treasure Rules: Roll a d20 on Table 1 below once per encounter (NOT per creature). Any items discovered are in addition to the normal treasure for the encounter.
