These armored insects thrive in caverns and ruins steeped in darkness. Their shells gleam like oiled obsidian, and when they charge, the impact sounds like stone cracking under pressure. Ebon Beetles rarely fight head-on - they stalk the edges of light, ramming from the dark until their prey collapses from shock or fear. Even torchlight struggles to reflect off their carapaces.
Special Attack
Carapace Ram: 30 ft, save Dex Quick, fail save roll 1d4+1 bludgeoning, cooldown 3 rounds.
Special Defense
Mirror Hide: Reflections crawl across its form like living light. Those within 60 ft save Wis Mind or lose track of it for 1 round.
