Special Abilities

Saw Beetle Nymph

Saw Beetles are a type of giant insect that are often harmless...and often not harmless. Saw Beetles usually feed on vegetation, brush, and wood, but they are opportunistic omnivores. They like eating carrion and are more than capable of killing quite large game. Sadly, they are abysmally stupid and will consider humans perfectly acceptable foodstuffs. Saw beetles live in forests, swamps, plains, deserts, and often infest ruins. They are remarkably hardy, and given their size and the strength of their jaws, their limited ability to fly is a potent advantage against many other predators.

Saw Beetle Nymphs are the flightless young of Saw Beetles. They are voracious and assume everything they encounter is edible.

Combat Tactics

Saw beetles nymphs are voracious with a particular desire for meat. As a result, they immediately close the range and try to start eating.

-| CombatTactics = Saw beetles may be vermin, but they like the taste of fresh meat.  As a result, they will usually close the range on the ground and then rise up on buzzing wings and plunge into the midst of a group of enemies using Blundering Flight.  They will then land again as close as possible to multiple foes and perform savage full-action bite attacks.  They will never try to flee, being too dumb to recognize peril.  Despite their size, saw beetles are good flyers, although slow.  They can hover, fly backwards, and swoop through the air with perfect grace, even though their Bumbling Flight power looks clumsy.
