They can be found in the early [[Dungeon]].<br /> <br /> {{monster spells}}<br /> <br /> ==Tips &amp; Tricks==<br /> *Bombardier beetles are what teach new adventurers how [[Sticky Flame]] works. 2d3 fire damage per turn doesn&#039;t look that bad on paper, but that damage ignores [[AC]]; even heavily-armored characters will take significant damage. However, moving around will reduce the duration of the effect -- if you&#039;re set ablaze, keep moving to shake the flames off.<br /> *Bombardier beetles&#039; Pyre Arrow is a natural ability, so you can&#039;t use [[silence]] or [[antimagic]] to prevent them from casting.<br /> *They are slow, so it is easy to retreat if you can&#039;t fight one yet.<br /> *They are vulnerable to [[poison]], so kiting one around while throwing poisoned darts at a distance is a good way to avoid ever getting hit. Even at 0 skill, two successful darts will usually apply enough poison to kill one.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> * Bombardier beetles were added in [[0.31]].</div>
