''"The Creator has an inordinate fondness for devastation."''

A devastation beetle gains iterative attacks to its primary bite natural weapon from having a high base attack bonus.

Its natural attacks are considered magical, epic and adamantine for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction and hardness as well as a siege engine for interacting with attacks and objects.

'''{{Anchor|Traits}}:''' Much like vermin, a devastation beetle is immune to [[SRD:Mind-Affecting Effect|mind-affecting]] effects ([[SRD:Charm Subschool|charms]], [[SRD:Compulsion Subschool|compulsions]], [[SRD:Phantasm Subschool|phantasms]], [[SRD:Pattern Subschool|patterns]], and morale effects).

'''{{Anchor|Hard Ability Damage Reduction}}:''' A devastation beetle possesses Hard [[Ability Damage Reduction (3.5e Creature Ability)|Ability Damage Reduction]] 4 (all) for the adult and 2 (all) for the larva.

'''{{Anchor|Hurricane Wind Force}} {{Ex}}:''' A devastation beetle adult can buzz its wings, generating a swirl of [[SRD:Weather#Hurricane-Force Wind|hurricane-force winds]] out to 200 feet from it, and a [[SRD:Weather#Windstorm|windstorm]] for another 800 feet beyond that. It can activate or deactivate this ability at will but is otherwise constant while it is flying.

'''{{Anchor|Pheromone Cloud}} {{Ex}}:''' A devastation beetle adult, when searching for a mate, exudes a constant vapor that radiates outward in every direction for 1 mile. This vapor makes tracking by scent useless, as the area is permeated by the overpowering chemical signal. The scent lingers for 1d4+1 days in any area unless washed thoroughly. 

'''{{Anchor|Super Colossal}}:''' A devastation beetle is larger than normal for its size category with a 50 foot space and a 40 foot reach. It otherwise has the size bonuses and penalties of a colossal creature.

'''{{Anchor|Trample}} {{Ex}}:''' A devastation beetle (larva or adult) can [[SRD:Trample|trample]] Gargantuan and smaller creatures (10d10+21 points of damage for the adult and 8d10+18 for the larva) and are knocked prone. Opponents who do not make [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attacks of opportunity]] against the devastation beetle can attempt a [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex save]] ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 38 for the adult and DC 30 for the larva) to halve the damage and negate falling prone. A creature in its space is automatically subject to its trample damage in any round in which the beetle attacks while on the ground.

'''{{Anchor|Universal Resistance}}:''' This special damage resistance reduces hit point damage from all types and sources (such as energy, physical and untyped damages) before applying other effects, like damage reduction or energy resistance. A devastation beetle adult resists 10 damage from each attack or damage source, while the larva resists 5 damage.

Any multiplication of damage against it has its Universal Resistance multiplied by the same amount.
