Beetleboys are [[Bug family|insectoid]] warriors with armored black carapaces ready to charge in battle like a raging bull. 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.
