Is there some kind of monster similar to the large fire shooting bugs in Starship Troopers?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


You know the giant "bugs" that shot fireballs out of there butts. Is there such a thing even on a smaller size? Bombadier Beetles really just spray fire - not launch it.

You help is appreciated.

Sovereign Court

fire drake technically. Reskinning them as vermin that lobs their fire shouldn't be too hard.


Maybe not right out of the books, but if I wanted one I would either do Giant Stag Beetle with the giant template or Goliath Beetle, with breath weapons.

Silver Crusade

The easiest way would just to design it from the ground up, that way it's exactly what you want. However, if you really want to use existing assets...

Take the giant bombardier beetle, swap out the acid cone for a ranged touch attack of fire, apply the giant template to bump it up to huge.


Reskinning an ankheg could also work.


Legacy of Fire (spoiler-sort-of):
Xotani, the Firebleeder, spawn of Rovagug, is kind of similar, but way more powerful.
