We return from the writing caves to bring you more beetles!

This time we present you the cute shield beetle. It only wants to protect itself!

You can download the 5etools json files from our patreon page.

Brehms Tierleben

Thanks to the beautiful illustrations from Brehms Tierleben, the classic zoological work by Alfred Brehm, we had access to an extraordinary collection of public domain images featuring flies, beetles, bugs, bees, and more. A heartfelt thank you to Brehm and his many illustrators, their work is truly remarkable!

Illustrations are from Brehms Tierleben and public domain (see last page for details)

Images, json file and tokens can be downloaded here.

All monster are designed based on the MonsterManifest. The concept is quite long so you can find a quick overview on the later page in the images.
