Fire Beetle
Fire Beetles are like normal Beetles, except they are on fire. They can be used as a walking, rideable Forge.
Before Taming they are actually rather strong and quite capable of killing weaker characters. If they have a ranged attack used on them they run at Paragon like speeds to catch up with their attacker. They have to have their health taken down until they are *Beaten into subjugation* before they can be tamed. Once this is accomplished, anybody can control the Fire Beetle and ride it.
The Fire Beetles only spawn at the very end of the Yomotsu Mines, and only one ever spawns at a time. Because the Yomotsu are fairly strong, and the Beetle itself requires an immense amount of skill to tame, they can be slightly difficult (even dangerous) to acquire.
