They are one of the stronger insects in the game, with decent [[AC]] and a heavy attack. However, they are painfully slow and are easy to kite by the time you find them in the deepest parts of [[the Lair]].<br /> <br /> ==Tips &amp; Tricks==<br /> *Boring beetles make a &#039;grinding sound&#039; when they dig, alerting you to their presence on the floor.<br /> *If boring beetles show up with other enemies, be aware that they can dig around other creatures to get at you if you try to retreat into a corridor.<br /> *A fleeing boring beetle will always run away from you, including through walls.<br /> *Boring beetles may appear guarding a Pet Rocks [[shop]] along with [[earth elemental]]s or some of the lesser [[List of golems|golems]]. These shops might appear before your character is strong enough to deal with the enemies inside, so use caution if you see one.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Boring beetles were removed for being boring in [[0.17]].</div>
