The larvae they produce will have tiny horns on their faces, which makes the difference between them and regular ones quite obvious. Rhinoceros Beetles can also be bred, but must be tamed to do so. The longer you charge it, the more powerful this attack is. When you come into contact with another creature while pressing it, that creature will be hurt and knocked back. While riding, the player can press the R key (by default) to charge up the Ram Bar, which can be seen above your Experience Bar as tiny green lines. It can run at decent speeds and has the ability to climb walls, like a Spider, Scytode or Black Widow (which are technically spiders). It also inflicts a short Slowness debuff (around 6 seconds) when hitting you.įollowing the same taming process as described with the Titan Beetle, including the saddling, it becomes a mount. It is hostile towards the player, and its great amount of health and great knockback make it a tough enemy. This beetle can only be found in the Ulterior Outback. The Stag Beetle can also destroy any block in the game If you wish to master it, search for where the key binds. The Stag Beetles hide a mysterious secret. It can be healed, like any beetle, using Bamboo Shoots. Once tamed, any larvae produced will have small mandibles on the front of their head. You can heal it by feeding it Bamboo Shoots.įound exclusively in Fungal Forests, this blue-carapaced cousin to the Titan Beetle has identical stats.īeyond looking prettier, the Stag Beetle cannot carry a Chest like its cousin, and cannot ram enemies like the Rhinoceros Beetle. All large beetle species' larvae grow at the same rate as small beetles. They must be tame to breed, and any larvae produced will spawn with two antennae on their head. You can access this storage space by shift-right clicking it, while not riding it.

It is significantly slower than the Rhinoceros Beetle, but you can equip it with a Chest or an Ender Chest (right-click it while holding the chest in your hand). It must be saddled using the Beetle Riding Kit before you can ride it. It gains 20 health after being tamed by right-clicking on it with the Beetle Amulet.

The Titan Beetle can be tamed using the Beetle Amulet, which isn't quite as difficult as it sounds. It is powerful and quick, but lacks the knockback ability of the Rhinoceros Beetle, making it far easier to tame or defeat. This beetle can only be found in Elysian Fields. Try placing a Bed in the Erebus, and you'll find that bed bugs are a lot worse than you thought. They only inflict half a heart, but spawn in threes.

There is a secret form of small Beetle that attacks on sight.

As of 0.1.2, these little guys now have sounds, and can be bred.

The model was made by james26aus, and edited by Dave (Vadis365) to give it better legs.

It was one of the first mobs to appear in the Erebus, all the way back in the 0.0.x branch.

They can spawn with the names of one of the Beatles.

It can be bred using Turnips (this applies to the other Beetles in this article as well), which produces regular Beetle Larva. It can be found in Underground Jungles, Subterranean Savannahs and Elysian Fields. It comes in five different colours: Red, Brown, Blue, Green and Tan, and also has a rare Ladybug variety, which does nothing but look good. This peaceful creature does not attack the player or cause any other harm. There are various types of Beetles present in the Erebus, from the (comparatively) small and placid Beetle to the large and aggressive beetles found around the Erebus.
