Beetle mounts released at Rumor Woods as part of a new Year of the Clockewerke Devices in 2024. Beetles are summoned by a solid metal whistle, which is a summoning item that stores their information but is considered a separate item. There are three tiers: common, uncommon, and rare. All beetle mounts share a similar setup with their appearance.
Appearance
Large and solid, the beetle is comprised of a wide variety of gears, screws, and pistons. Six legs, two forward and four at the back, support the mechanical carapace that is made up of solid metal covered in sable-streaked crimson whorls. Compound eyes rest above its large mandible, each ommatidium fashioned of a faceted nacreous blue waterweb, and short antennae wiggle and rotate as they interrogate their surroundings cautiously. Peeking from beneath the smooth steel elytra is folded translucent sailcloth that is used as its hind wings.
Common
Common mounts are the least expensive option when considering purchase. They are limited in alteration options that may be allowed through the Ostler.

Rare
Rare mounts are the highest tier available for purchase and offer additional verbs unavailable at common or uncommon tiers. They have the widest array of feature alterations at the Ostler. They are also only available during their initial run, and are normally discontinued in concurrent runs. For 2024, the rare beetle mount was a clockwerke rhinoceros beetle. Their appearance is similar to the common tier.
