Memory:Fire beetle

This dark red insect is a regular hazard for those who venture into the earth. Steam rises from within its rock-hard carapace. Its infernal temperament makes it quick to anger, although it may be relatively complacent after feeding on a hapless adventurer. The overall shape of this beetle resembles that of the scarabaeus, only its size is slightly wrong: you haven't seen many beetles the size of a pony so far. It radiates warmth like a small oven, and its exoskeleton appears to be hardened by the heat: the sharp strong mandibles shine in the torchlight, reminding you of scissor-blades.
