They have teal colored markings all over their body and wear red handkerchiefs around their necks.

Although the beetles may be tough opponents to those just starting on their journey, they will fall quickly in battle due to their limited HP.

===Battle beetle===
The beetleboy and its variants are based on the [[Wikipedia:Japanese rhinoceros beetle|Japanese rhinoceros beetle]], also known as ''Allomyrina dichotoma''. In Japan, they are also known as ''kabutomushi'' (かぶとむし) due to their horned heads' similarity to a samurai's helmet. Males often fight with each other with their horns over mates and territory.
