Beetle

The Beetle is a monster introduced in Risk of Rain 2.

Environments

 * Distant Roost
 * Titanic Plains
 * Wetland Aspect
 * Abandoned Aqueduct
 * Scorched Acres
 * Siren's Call

Skill & Behavior
Beetles spawn by digging out of the ground, usually in numbers due to being the cheapest enemy Directors can spawn. They hop around aimlessly until spotting a player.

Headbutt
A Beetle's only attack is a simple headbutt, which deals 200% damage with a proc coefficient of 1.0.

Tips

 * The Beetle is by far the least threatening enemy the Survivors will face on the planet. While its headbutt can deal respectable damage, its range is extremely short, and can be dodged by simply jumping above the Beetle. Beetles should be considered the lowest priority when fighting groups of enemies.
 * Alternatively, the player may consider Beetles an easy way to activate powerful on-kill effects, such as and, to deal large amounts of area damage.
