Skin Beetle
A hulking carrion beetle spits numbing acid before pinning prey down and tearing off flesh in ragged, bleeding chunks.
A hulking carrion beetle that strips the skin from carcasses — and from the living, when it can pin them down. It spits a numbing acid before tearing in with its mandibles.
Anesthetic Saliva (Poison) A creature exposed to a skin beetle's saliva must succeed on a DC 19 Fortitude save or become clumsy 1 for 1 round.
