Features

Charge. [4] If the beetle moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a gore attack on the same turn, that target takes an extra 9 (2d8) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

False Appearance. [4] While the creature remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal boulder (DC 18 Investigation check to determine it is not a bolder). 

Actions

Gore. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8+5) bludgeoning damage.


Unofficial Description: A giant beetle is a gray beetle about the size of a rhinocerous. When not moving their appearance resembles a boulder.
