The Dwarven Riding Beetle is a docile beast with a demeanor similar to that of a work oxen but calmer, this makes the taming process relativity simple, simply feed the beetle small amount of mushed up mushrooms mixed with water, and over a few weeks, the beast will begin to expect the food every day. if raised from hatching, the beetle will care for their owners, although the beetle may begin to refuse food from other folk if they are fed regularly by their caretaker.

Summary of the creature:

An Oxen sized beetle resembling the mundane Rhinoceros beetles of the surface world, these majestic beasts are bluish in color and commonly graze on moss and fungi native to the caverns beneath the world’s surface, they have been domesticated by the Dwedmar of the Kingdom of Urguan, and the secrets of keeping these beetles healthy is kept by the Dwarves who very much do not wish to disclose this information. The beetles are known to be used as riding animals and work beasts, having mighty strength in carrying very heavy wagons and the like, and while they can be used for fighting if need be, these animals are docile and calm,  preferring to simply eat their feed and do work for their dwarven owners. during the breeding process these beetle never leave their nests, making hand-feeding them a upmost priority, once hatched the small beetle larva will eat mushed up mushroom prepared by the dwarven caretaker or simply be fed by its mother, after a month of eating and growing they begin to molt and become tiny versions of their adult selves, it then takes a year and a half for them to fully grow.  

 

Characteristics of the creature:

A docile beast, the life of a Dwarven Riding Beetle starts with it’s egg being laid by the mother into a nest of dried mushroom fiber, after one week of being laid and sat on, the egg will hatch into a small larva the size of a mug of ale, after one month, the larva will molt into the smaller adult form and after one year, they should of grown to the average size of a mundane oxen if they have been fed well.
 

 

(Optional) Origins of the creature:

Originally simple Herbivores living in the deep caverns on the world, these Oxen sized beasts were tamed ages ago by the Dwarves, but they have fallen out of favor from being sensitive to the sun’s light, making them weak on the surface.

 

Strengths/Weaknesses

Dwarven Riding Beetles are sensitive to light and bludgeoning weapons , such as war-hammers and maces, Sun light will cause them to be disoriented and blinded while blunt force weapons can crack the shell of the beetle, causing horrid pain and later, death.

 

Red Lines

1: The Beetle can not be used on the surface effectively due to being sensitive to light.

2: The Beetles are docile and will not fight unless attacked themselves, even then, they would rather run.

3: Although the mundane Rhinoceros beetle can fly, The Dwarven Riding Beetle has far to small wings to even lift off the ground.

4: Beetles Must be Fed every day or its body will begin to slowdown after 3 days of lack of food, making them useless unless hand-fed to health, they will die after 1 week without Food.

 

Availability:
