The giant fog beetle appears to be some sort of giant insect. It looks a little like some misshapen scorpion, but the tail on it is not as long as a scorpion's would be, and it flares like the tail of a lobster rather than ending in a poison sting. The segmented body is wide, supported by six short multi-jointed legs. A dull red chitinous shell covers most of its body, and a broad carapace protects its head. Two massive claws provide the creature with formidable weapons.^[1]

Other information

Fog beetles are puncture resistant rather than puncture immune since being converted to BCS.

Green Gas Maneuver

• Successful defense:

A giant fog beetle rears up momentarily and hisses loudly. A huge cloud of green gas pours from an orifice on the creature's underside!
The cloud of gas rolls in your direction. You scramble out of the way and easily avoid it.

• Failure resulting in RT:

A giant fog beetle rears up momentarily and hisses loudly. A huge cloud of green gas pours from an orifice on the creature's underside!
The cloud of gas rolls in your direction. You try to scramble out of the way but the cloud of gas rolls over you, causing you to cough and choke!
Roundtime: 5 sec.

• Failure resulting in RT and poison (10-11 per round dissipating 3 per round):

A giant fog beetle rears up momentarily and hisses loudly. A huge cloud of green gas pours from an orifice on the creature's underside!
The cloud of gas rolls in your direction. You try to scramble out of the way but the cloud of gas rolls over you, causing you to cough and choke!
You feel a fierce poison coursing through your veins!
Roundtime: 5 sec.

• 207 provides complete immunity to the attack:

A giant fog beetle rears up momentarily and hisses loudly. A huge cloud of green gas pours from an orifice on the creature's underside!
The gas washes over you and you calmly breathe it in like it was pure air.
