Bomb Scarab

The Bomb Scarab is a formidable enemy found in the arid expanses of the Desert of Beginnings. This intimidating creature boasts a robust, armored exoskeleton that glistens under the sun, reflecting hues of deep brown and gold, which serves as both camouflage and protection. Its body is stout and rounded, reminiscent of a classic beetle, but it features sharp, jagged edges along its carapace, hinting at its explosive nature. With a menacing pair of mandibles, the Bomb Scarab is not just a sight to behold; it is also a force to be reckoned with. When provoked, it charges with incredible speed, reaching up to 160 units per second, and unleashes devastating damage through its powerful charge attacks, capable of inflicting between 204 to 248 points of damage in its standard form and even more in its hard mode. What truly sets the Bomb Scarab apart is its explosive capability. Upon nearing its target or when cornered, it detonates in a controlled explosion, dealing significant mining damage of 998 and explosive damage ranging from 415 to 507 in its standard form. This ability makes it particularly dangerous to unprepared adventurers who dare to invade its territory. The Bomb Scarab is known for its resilience; with a maximum health of 1950 in standard mode, it regenerates 50% of its health every five seconds, making it a daunting opponent. In hard mode, these numbers increase to a staggering 2925 health, alongside more powerful attacks. In casual mode, it retains its explosive nature but poses a less severe threat with 975 health and reduced damage outputs. Behaviorally, the Bomb Scarab is relentless in its pursuit of intruders. It moves idly at a speed of 20 until it detects a target, at which point it quickly accelerates to 80 while chasing. Its explosive nature makes it immune to being slowed by slime and resistant to acid damage, allowing it to navigate its desert environment with ease. Overall, the Bomb Scarab is a unique blend of beauty and terror, making it a memorable encounter for any adventurer exploring the Desert of Beginnings.
