Swamp Beetle
A boggy cluster of biting insects spits fouled water from range and snaps up close, and killing one only splatters its neighbors with acid.
Swamp beetles swarm the boggy lowlands in chittering clusters, spitting fouled water from a distance and snapping with their mandibles up close. Killing one rarely ends the threat — it only spreads the mess.
Splatter When a swamp beetle dies, it splatters everyone next to it with foul-smelling acid. PCs next to the swamp beetle take 1 acid damage. The other beetles are immune to this damage.
