Bombardier Beetle

The Bombardier Beetle is a one of the various beetles featured in The Erebus. It is hostile and can only be found in the Elysian Fields. It has 60 health points (30 hearts) and shall pack a bigger punch than the Rhinoceros Beetle. Although it lacks the ability to inflict the Slowness effect on enemies and cannot knock the player back, into the air.

It shall only attack when the player comes near it, and has two attack methods, melee and explosive, though it tends to use its explosive ability more often.

The explosive method is when it creates a small explosion around itself that destroys blocks but has no effect on the mob itself. When it releases an explosion, the player shall be flung high up into the air, taking fall damage when they hit the ground.

When killed, it shall drop 1-3 Exoskeleton Plates, Gunpowder and Blaze Powder.

Unlike the Rhinoceros Beetle and Titan Beetle, the Bombardier Beetle cannot be tamed nor bred.
