Assassin Beetles are large, hostile arthropods found across Tamriel. They have six legs, a hard exoskeleton, and are dark in color, often with red markings. Upon being killed, they exude poison that will harm anyone that comes too close.

Skills and AbilitiesEdit

Bite
A basic melee attack dealing low physical damage.
Poisonous Bite
The beetle lunges forward and bites fiercely, with its mandibles dripped in green poison, dealing moderate physical damage and low poison damage over time. This attack can be blocked to set the beetle off-balance.
Shadow Step
The beetle teleports behind its target.
Acid Blood
This ability activates upon the assassin beetle's death. The corpse spills bubbling poison that appears on the ground as an AoE.
